Well, it was your posts that led me to say what I said. There do seem to be some people who are a bit bashful about expressing their affection for Rudy around here. Maybe that's understandable.

As for Rudy, I just haven't been informed of anything that he did on 911 that we wouldn't expect any other mayor to do. Of course, it's possible that his campaign doesn't share the details because he's just real modest about his heroism. But then it is ALSO possible that the legends about his miracles are just a lot of public relations baloney.

In Giuliani’s defense... he did his job which is more than we can say of Ray Nagin.

I don’t support Rudy for president, but I will defend his executive ability and his great work for NYC.

Your question about “we wouldn’t expect any other mayor to do.” is, to be polite, faulty reasoning.

Look around at all the failed cities in America, that have been democrat-run forever. The reason they give for their failure is the mirror-image of your view of Republican-run NY. Dems who keep getting re-elected after pathetic administrations say “no one could improve this city.”

So they never take responsibility for failure, and you won’t give responsibility for success to Rudy’s executive ability.
