If Giuliani is so bad, why did Reagan appoint him to be his Associate Attorney General?
1. Even Ronald Maximus made mistakes (see 1986 amnesty and Beruit pullout).
2. Giuliani had not amassed the liberal record that he has now. Back then, he was a young prosecutor with a few, lesser known, radical liberal ideas. Since then, he's served as mayor of New York and done and said a lot of liberal things.
