To a narcissistic creep like Giuliani, choosing to spend time at ground zero, and choosing to spend time basking in the baseball limelight by association is a no-brainer. Once the photo ops at ground zero started to thin out...what was the point, after all? Getting to rub elbows with athletes when you, yourself are a skeletal wimp, and hang out in front of the press at the big games...well...that's what I'm talkin' 'bout.
Giuliani doesn't waste time on the things that aren't going to look good in his portfolio.
And he has leveraged his "lucky break" as the mayor of NYC on 9/11 to the hilt. Like George W. Bush, who has actually said "I planted the flag of democracy in Iraq", (not WE)Giuliani sees everything through the prism of his place in the equation. He's used the 9/11 victims, the firefighters and and police as props, just like "W" has used them.
And if Giuliani were ever to get to the White House, we could expect him to continue the use of the troops in the same manner. As props. And the "war on terror" would be the club he used to continue bludgeoning us into fearful submission, like his predecessor. All the while, his company of opportunity would continue to rake in the terror-related big bucks. Can you say Bernie Kerick?
No, Garry...he doesn't deserve a break.
As for president, have you heard him speak? It's "W" all over again in complete lack of cohesive thought. Just the badly articulated words are sometimes bigger. And "cowboy" crap would be replaced with an erudite city slicker facade.
Rudy....as all-American as baseball...and just as arrogant and corrupt.
