Camera hog, not a hero (Jimmy Breslin Alert)
Newsday ^ | May 21, 2004 | Jimmy Breslin

Posted on 05/21/2004 3:40:14 AM PDT by sidewalk

He was a nowhere guy until the planes hit the World Trade Center buildings. He was a failed mayor, was Rudy Giuliani.

He had a commissioner named Harding stealing so obviously that at first people couldn't believe their eyes. Giuliani had an open fear of blacks that produced the one most memorable sight of the last 10 years in my city. On the roof of City Hall were cops with rifles.

Jimmy Breslin stunk in 1969 and hasn't gotten better with age.

I wish he had the good grace to find a tar pit to sink into.

Let me see, the murder rate in NYC fell seventy-five percent under Giuliani. He made Ny a lot safer. That alone made him an outstanding mayor. Breslin is either too biased or too stupid to acknowledge this. Maybe both.

Wow, man! Jimmy Breslin. I thought he had dropped out, wandered off to a hippy commune and was smoking pieces of Timothy Leary.

But, Jimmy, we haven't forgotten your own racism/sexism ... have we?

[Mary Ji-Yeon] Yuh, 25, is a brave soul who dared challenge Breslin's May 3 [1990] column, in which he lamented the absence of his wife, City Council- member Ronnie Eldridge, from their domicile. Her memo to Breslin unleased a tirade in which he charged into a roomful of New York 'Newsday' staffers spewing slurs like "cunt," "yellow cur," and "slant-eyed."

Failed Mayor!!!! I think he got confused with Dinkins. What the heck kind of "mind enhancing" drugs did this buffoon take for this kind of drivel. Giuliani turned NY city around, reduced crime, brought businesses back and made NY liveable again. I cannot stand the leftist unfair attacks.
Giuliani kind of reinforces my mantra that Democrats get elected and screw things up and it takes Republicans to fix them.

Hillary must be quaking in her stormtrooper's boots if she's enlisted all these people to trash Rudy.

Rudy did what no one thought could be done. He brought NYC back to being the premier city in the US. He got rid of crime, he cleaned up Times Square, he forced the street peddlers into a designated area to protect the Harlem businesses. He made the subways safe again. He got the tax on clothing reduced in time for back to school shopping. He got rid of graffiti, public urination, squeegie men, turnstyle jumpers.....it was called QUALITY OF LIFE.

IOW, Rudy saved NY......twice!

"Even Newsday should be ashamed to print this man..."

The editorial staff at this paper have no shame; only complete hatred for all things considered conservative in nature.

Yesterday, on the front page, they carried the "Iraqi Wedding Massacre" story. However, in previous editions they never mentioned the "Sarin Bombs" (on the front page).

I loathe this rag, it really is a POS.

He was a writer who referred to a an Asian-American employee who criticized his work as a "slanty-eyed cur." He was a hack who claimed to quote verbatim in 2004 as a current interview, a conversation in 1992 which he never taped nor had notes on. He is Jimmy Breslin.
