You know, some months before 9/11 (I don't remember when, exactly), there was a bit of a dust-up between Rudy and The New Yorker magazine. The magazine had begun using a series of ads on the sides of NYC buses with the tagline, "The only good thing in New York that Rudy hasn't taken credit for." Well, to make a long story short, America's Mayor threw a hissy-fit, and threatened to sue The New Yorker for libel, defamation, etc., etc. Ultimately, the ads were pulled, and the controversy subsided. But this is the Rudy that New Yorkers came to know and loathe before 9/11.
New Yorkers, Midwesterners, and everyone else would be better served to take a hard look at Giuliani's pre-9/11 record before pulling the lever on election day.
