Remember: All of those idiots who claim that the Rutard is "tough" because he dissed Arafat. Its NOT THAT DIFFICULT, indeed it is ADVISABLE to do so in the largest Jewish city in the world after Tel Aviv, especially when said community gave you your margin of victory over Dinkins.
That being said, I'm happy that he told Arafat to shove it. But to pretend that he was "brave" to do so in NEW YORK CITY is misleading.
What exposed Giuliani as a fraud in the Arafat case was that Giuliani had actually
honored Irish Republican Army spokesman Gerry Adams at an official New York City function just a few weeks earlier.
"Tough on terrorists," my @ss. If Arafat had been Irish instead of Palestinian, he'd have gotten a massage -- and more -- from Giuliani.
