It's so easy to see Rudy dressing up as Borat, especially after seeing him cross dress over the years.

Interesting,

Addenda to our last conversation. Rudy never was my first choice for a Republican presidential candidate. Nor was he second, third or fourth. It's way too early.

Just said I understand him.

Jan. 30 (Bloomberg) -- Rudolph Giuliani's alliance with a Texas law firm may help the former New York mayor gain regional appeal and cash as he prepares for a possible Republican campaign for president.

In understanding him . . . in your own words . . . as say a pie chart . . . how would you map his liberal/"conservative" traits, values, . . . ??

The predominant religion in the areas you've listed is Alcoholism, claiming active adherence of population majorities.

And here's a repeat of information that many readers probably haven't seen. It's unfinished work (keywords below).

There's actually quite a bit about Giuliani and eminent domain. Try the keywords,

giuliani "eminent domain" "Empire State Development Corporation"

Here's one that was returned (context behind the link). And before anyone posts a comment to support the NY Times' propaganda about the businesses involved, see "leased by fashion designer Donna Karan . . . gallery and showroom" farther down.

Government, NY Times Join Forces to Evict Business Owners
By Jeff McKay
CNSNews.com Correspondent
October 18, 2002
Excerpt:
A New York State government agency is forcing a group of business owners to leave their property by condemning it. That clears the way for a new skyscraper to go up - an office building that will house the New York Times.

Critics complain city taxpayers will foot part of the bill.

In a deal struck by the Empire State Development Corporation . . .

According to court records, the state and city signed a deal with the Times and Forest City Ratner Companies, which included a 99-year lease totaling $85.6 million-well below market value, according to experts. The deal also includes $26 million in tax cuts for the Times.

In addition, if a court sets the condemnation price higher than $85.6 million, the developers would have to come up with the extra money. However, the Times and Forest City will be able to deduct the extra cost, meaning taxpayers will cover all costs above $85.6 million.

Forest City Ratner Companies is headed by Bruce Ratner, a well-known fundraiser for both former Mayor Rudy Giuliani and former President Bill Clinton.

It was Ratner who earlier this year spearheaded a campaign to produce a "politically correct" statue, replacing two of the three white firefighters captured in a world-famous photo of the flag raising at Ground Zero with a more diverse grouping. The move outraged both firefighters and the public and was later scrapped.

"The predominant religion in the areas you've listed is Alcoholism, claiming active adherence of population majorities."

That's a good point. The same is said to be true of Chechnya.

So now we have QUOTAS for STATUES?
