Here's Rudy with Gov. Pataki. Looks like it's immediately post-9/11. You'll note he's wearing a Fire Dept. cap and jacket.
What is amusing here...is that Rudy G never for a moment thought about what to wear, what to say, or what to do after 9-11. Rudy did what came natural. Blanco isn't in Rudy's class....in fact...she could not even manage to make a on-the-spot speech if she had to.
I thought Rudy did a good job after 9/11, but how do we know he never thought about what to wear, say or do? I recall press conferences [can't remember if it was 9/11-related or at other times] at which Rudy would turn up in a police windbreaker. I don't think something like that is entirely spontaneous.
