Notice how the Rudy worshippers credit him with SINGLE-HANDEDLY bringing down the crime rate in NYC? Never a mention of Bill Bratton or the thousands of other LE personnel involved in the achievement.
Rudy also inherited a mess that couldn't have gotten any worse. The City bottomed out and there was only one direction to go.
I like Giuliani and believe he was good for NYC given everything in total including the period of time he governed. As far as the POTUS is concerned, the Rudy template doesn't quite work for me. The Life and Liberty thing is somewhat dubious.
Who appointed Bill Bratton?
