Rudolph W. Giuliani in a light moment with his friend Howard Koeppel at Gracie Mansion in 1997.
There are two other AP pics that for some reason I can't get the cursor to copy their URLs at their webpage. Here's the webpage URL: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/08/us/politics/08rudy.html?hp

One's his last wedding day. The other he's dressed in drag with Julie Andrews. He'll play in the Borscht Belt. I don't know about the Bible Belt.

Who cares? He's now "America's Mayor," not "New York's Mayor."

You know, you just can't explain to most non-Californians why another Schwarzenegger would be a mistake. In fact, it's hard to explain what's wrong with California to anyone who doesn't live there. And of course, winning is everything, so you can't explain what's wrong with another Schwarzenegger to some Californians, either.

He is swaggering, brash and opinionated and loves to stick his thumb in the eye of conventional political norms. Those traits won him some acclaim in New York, not to mention a lot of tabloid headlines. But he can also be temperamental, controlling, capricious, volatile and, in the words of Edward I. Koch, a former Democratic mayor who supported Mr. Giuliani in his successful bid for a second term, “mean-spirited.”

These are just the personal qualities we need in a pubbbie president after 8 years of the "new tone"

Americans like New York City...

Uh NO 'we' Americans don't.
And you've apparently spent waaaay too much time in New York City Sparky.

The basic problem is that New Yorkers (98%) have this perverted idea that the Sun rises and sets on Times Square and that if it's good for NYC it's good for the USA (hi Rudy). That attitude is proved right here on FR by the Rudy rooters from NYC -- Oh Rudy cleaned up Times Square, he'll clean up America. Rudy threw Arafat out of NYC so he'll kill all the terrorists. Rudy did 'this' in NYC so he'll do 'that' as POTUS.

Well HORSES**T... that just ain't so. What's good for NYC is anathema for and/or in the rest of America. And that's a fact, jack.

Growing up on the SW Side of Chicago in the 50's and 60's, there were three basic things we were taught to 'hate' (dislike, detest, loathe, etc.).

  1. the New York Yankees
  2. New York City
  3. the Cubs

However now in my older years my animus towards the Cubs has wained. If they win I'm happy for them, but I still say screw you to NYC - and Rudy with his NYC know-it-all arrogant, attitude. Furthermore, Rudy was never 'my Mayor' - period, end, stop.

~~ NYC rant OFF ~~

Spoken like a true New Yorker.

Saw you photo of Giulian with Howard Koeppel. Who is Howard Koeppel? Read on...

Giuliani: The Knight and 'The Queen'
11/28/2001
http://www.cwfa.org/articles/318/CFI/cfreport/index.htm

According to The London Times, New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani gives kisses before he leaves every morning, but to neither his estranged wife, nor his girlfriend. Instead, says The Times, "Sir Rudy" gives a peck on the cheek to the two homosexual men he's living with.

"We always get a little kiss, it's cute," says wealthy car dealer Howard Koeppel, with whom Giuliani has been sharing an apartment since June. When Giuliani was recently knighted, Koeppel tells The Times that he told "Sir Rudy" to call him "Queen Howard." Koeppel (63) and his homosexual lover Mark Hsiao (41) have been comforting Giuliani, and trying to make him laugh, in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks.

On the way to a recent fundraising dinner for the pro-homosexual state lobby group, The Empire State Pride Agenda (ESPA), Koeppel ribbed Giuliani by saying that if the ESPA was able to raise $100,000 donation for the homosexual victims of the September 11 attacks, Giuliani should agree to appear on Showtime's controversial Queer as Folk dressed in drag. Surprisingly, Giuliani agreed.

Marty Algaze of Gay Men's Health Crisis once summed up Queer as Folk — a show that touts graphic sexual activity as one of its biggest draws — as one that would "shock a lot of people." Showtime's Queer as Folk was inspired by the original series in Britain, which featured a storyline in which a 29-year-old man has a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old boy.

The propensity to shock people is not new to Giuliani, who likes to dress in women's clothes as a stage act, and even did so once at a Pride Agenda fund- raiser.

According to the Times, Giuliani has attended every "gay pride" parade in New York during his eight years as mayor. In 1992, during his first run for mayor, Giuliani took part in a homosexual "pride" parade that included a contingent of pedophile activists marching behind a banner for NAMBLA (North American Man/Boy Love Association). — Ken Ervin

Keep in mind when Andrew Giuliani outed Rudy as a miserable father with a possessive, domineering third wife......a demanding shrew who orders Rudy to stay away from his kids.......America spoke loud and clear.

88% of those polled said they had a problem with Rudy not attending his son's graduation.

Now that's a poll with political punch (not A Julie Annie faked-up, manufactured poll).
