..if Rudy left their family alone. No, he didn't. After Dorismond was mistakenly shot and killed by the police, Giuliani went in front of cameras and declared "He was no altar boy. He had a juvenile record".
1.) Patrick Dorismond had, in fact, been an altar boy
2.) He had a SEALED juvenile record. Dorismond was 28 when he was killed. His record was sealed; it was over. My former brother-in-law and one of my cousins have sealed juvenile records. One of them is now a successful business owner, the other is a high-ranking member of a federal agency. (For the record, they are both white.)
It takes a special kind of person to go in front of cameras to expose the sealed juvenile record of a dead man whose only crime at the time of his death was being in the wrong place at the wrong time. This same "special" type of person, Rudy Giuliani, also demanded family privacy when it was revealed that his father was was a violent felon who spent 5 years in Sing Sing for armed robbery and who was described by a psychiatrist with the City's Department of Hospitals as "a personality deviate of the aggressive, egocentric type. This aggressivity is pathological in nature and has shown itself from time to time even as far back as his childhood. He is egocentric to an extent where he has failed to consider the feelings and rights of others."
Like father like son?
We all know what the Clintons' family values are. Hint: they involve Bill's DNA on the dress of an intern half his age.
Joan, you are nothing but a shill for Hitlery Rotten KKKlinton. Shame on you for being so shameless.
Joan;
There is a consistency in our society here. You can see it in the dominant structure of our cities. In San Francisco, its is the Transamerica Building; New York, once it was World Trade; Boston, Hancock;.... We herd around that which promises a continuity of income, that is our rock as Prudential wisely noted. When an America,such as Cheney speaks of quagmire he comes at that time from a prospective that sees no income. Although a creator of OMB A76, the rock behind outsourcing of the war, in 1991, the then Secretary of Defense was not in the position of gaining an annuity. During the 90's Cheney morphed from the government participant to the industrial titan finally with a fortune and the annuity club access. When bin Laden attacked our "main mosque" (just as he would later attack Shiite mosques) he provoke the response that would gain for Cheney the annuity as final reward. bin Laden the heir to world of Ali Baba became the benefactor for the Cheney an stident of Babbitt.
Delusions of grandeur and of entitlement to tell everyone else how they should think and live are hallmarks of Guiliani, and if by some miracle he gets the nomination and the presidency he will make Bush/Cheney look Howdy Doody and Kukla Fran and Ollie. The man is an absolute psychopath. All of the dress-up costume affairs and guest appearences in Broadway plays etc., merely point out just how narcissitic he is. While Bush would never play a role other than a faux Texas cowboy, Guiliani will play a spear-carrying Indian ready to stab someone, anyone, who contradicts him. That's exactly who he is. God, any God, help us to put this guy in a place he deserves. A padded cell.
In my letter, I said that Rudololph Giuliani's father, Harold Giuliani, spent 5 years in Sing Sing. This is not true. Harold Giuliani (under the alias Joseph Starrett -- he lied about his name, address, age and occupation when arrested) was sentenced to 2 to 5 years in prison. He was released after serving one and half years in Sing Sing. He spent 4 years on parole.
This information is from Wayne Barrett's book "Rudy!: An Investigative Biography of Rudolph Guiliani" You can read an excerpt of it here, which gives details of Harold Giuliani's life.

I had not previously seen Cheney so precisely outlining why we should have left Iraq alone. But a question comes to mind: between 1994 and now, was it during this time that Cheney had all of his heart problems? Two(?) quadruple bypasses, a pacemaker and two (?) angioplasties, stents..........I know for a fact that heart surgery messes up at least your short-term memory. Anyone know of studies demonstrating personality derangement or impairment of faculties after such procedures? Maybe this explains the metamorposis to Darth Cheney......
