Yeah -- I don't know why the type of cancer is relevant to the point. Unless your point is that some forms of cancer are more serious than others.
It is relevant. It's not like he had non-hodgekins lymphoma with a prognosis of death in a few months.
He had prostate cancer which may have kept him from making some appearances but it was by no means life threatening.
NY republicans got hung out to dry waiting for Rudy to decide what he was going to do, and got stuck with Rick Lazio. Not that I disliked Lazio, but he was handicapped by getting in the race late in deference to Rudy. Hence, at the general election, we get Hillary. Thanks for nothing Rudy.
