Thursday, March 07, 2002 VAN SUSTEREN: You know, it's interesting. I mean, when you look at, you know, what's gone on since September 11th, I mean, it seems like a lot that's preceded it has now become irrelevant in our lives. But you had such an important job for the people of New York. And you've also been honored by the queen and now even Nancy Reagan. You're going to get an award from the Reagan family. GIULIANI: Yeah, that means — I probably — I can't express to you how much that means to me to get a freedom medal from the Ronald Reagan Library and from Mrs. Reagan. I worked for Ronald Reagan for two years directly, and then for longer than that when I was U.S. attorney, but more indirectly. And he was a model for me of what I thought a leader should be, you know, someone who had a very strong philosophy, very strong belief, didn't govern by public opinion polls, governed by what he believed was right and was someone who was able to inspire and lift America. And a couple of years ago, two years ago, I gave the annual lecture at the Reagan Library. And the point of that lecture was that I thought that the way Franklin Roosevelt defined the first half of our century as a president, Ronald Reagan defined the second half. So to receive recognition from the Reagan Library and from Mrs. Reagan, it just means a tremendous amount to me.
So what is the relevance of this? 2002? Awards mean squat. What did he actually do? No one can tell us!
What a shameless self-promoter Giuliani really is. It bleeds through in interview after interview when you look at the transcripts.
Bill Clinton without the drawl and with worse hair.
