The idiotic national obsessions with Guiliani's 9-11 performance
[Read the article: A hit job on Keith Olbermann]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]A bit of a sidetrack, but its about time to put Rudolph Guiliani's "fabulous" post 9-11-2001 performance as NYC mayor, in some perspective.
First of all, he did NOTHING - ABSOLUTELY NOTHING - above and beyond that which any other mayor of any city in the world would've have done were his or her city attacked like NYC was that day.
IN a nutshell, he showed up for work and didnt go on vacation - big fucking deal.
In fact his retarded insistence on establishing the emergency command center not only in Lower Manhattan (which a commission had specifically recommended against) but specifically in the basement of the WTC created even more havoc on that fateful day than anyone colud've cared for.
People (including several on the left of the political spectrum) who've been drooling about his "cool calm demeanor in leading the city after the horrific events" should first slap themselves back to reality and then ask if this idiot is presidential material.
If David Dinkins had done EXACTLY the same job as Guiliani had done after 9-11, he would have been mercilessly berated for the "poor state NYC was left in after the attacks" to this day.
Just food for thought.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]I'm really glad that there's no such stupid fucking place as heaven. Can you imagine how bored the Old Fuck (not an "Old Fart"mind you!, but an "Old Fuck") would be up there - boning Mother Theresa to the tune of those cocksucking harps and lutes?!

[Read more letters about this article: Here]I dont have any issue with the perfectly valid points that KK makes, but COME ON!!!! Not even a passing mention of the fact that had that idiot referee not blown the whistle on thet obvious fumble by Cutler just before the TD pass, the Chargers would have won the game?!?!?!?
