I thought the question offered Rudy an opportunity to describe exactly what he did on 911 to justify his use of it in the campaign. I didn’t hear him provide ANY specifics. There really isn’t any there there. Aside from wandering around with a hanky over his nose, I don’t know that Rudy did anything worth talking about on 911.
Chuck Yeager.
Now there’s a man, endorsing Duncan Hunter!
OooRah!!!
He already got lots of press and wrote a book........since then he’s been coasting on that. I can’t see anything to get excited about.
You have GOT to be kidding. That man worked has ass off and did not sleep for several weeks after 9/11. Maybe it's because I live in the metro NYC area so I saw this.
Rudy is way down on my list of choices, but reducing his leadership and performance in the wake of 9/11 to cartoonish mockery makes me see red. It tells me quite a bit about you when you do so... none of it good.

It was the executive ability of Giuliani that had competent officials in place before the attacks, or quickly recruited after the attacks, that got NYC back up and running in miraculous time.
When things go smoothly, they look easy. People do not even recognize when things are done well, because the effort is not very visible. Consider the complexity of administration involved just in supporting the people working on the rubble and removing it all from the heart of the financial district, while commerce resumed.
Just consider what has happened to the hole in the ground in Manhattan since Bloomberg took over, as one example of an executive who cannot get things done.
