I love this....
(Taking over in the NYC US Attorney's office.)
Rudy Giuliani: My name is Rudolph Giuliani. I've wanted this job for a long time. To me, there is no greater prize than US Prosecutor for the Southern District of New York City. This office should be the crown jewel of the United States Justice Department... but it is not. And why? Because you have gotten fat. You are lazy prima donnas, spending 2 and 3 years on cases you are never gonna make. If there's anyone in this room who thinks otherwise, please speak up. Good. Now that we agree on that, let's talk about what we are going to do about it.
[Giuliani begins to circle the room as he speaks.]
Rudy Giuliani: We, gentlemen... are about to unleash the dogs of war. War. War against drug dealers, war against the Mafia - and yes, Mr. Hoover, there is a Mafia - against corrupt politicians and stockbrokers...
[Giuliani comes up behind one of the officials who is obviously asleep.]
Rudy Giuliani: Against crooked judges... and bent cops. How, you may wonder, do we end corruption... BY SCARING THE LIVING SHIT out of the criminal! And their families, if we have to.
[The sleeping man bolts upright in his chair; Giuliani addresses him directly]
Rudy Giuliani: Get up. Get up, and get out. You want to sleep on my time, do it at the Motel 6. Don't speak, get out.
[The man leaves; Giuliani resumes addressing the entire room]
Rudy Giuliani: It's not astrophysics. It's called The Law. And the law is about to become a stark, concrete reality for those who would break it. This is New York City. I love this city! This is the greatest city in the world, and I am going to make it safe for people to live in again, so help me God, and each and every one of you is going to help me. Because, gentlemen, this is not merely our job, it is our privilege. I will see you on the barricades.
There are many qualities that make a great leader. But having strong beliefs, being able to stick with them through popular and unpopular times, is the most important characteristic of a great leader.

WOW!
