"Is Rudy really coming?" a boy asked his mother. "I don't know if he can make it. The mayor is very busy." Busy enough that everyone would have forgiven Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani if he had skipped the wedding Sunday afternoon. Almost from the moment of the attack on New York, Giuliani has been the tireless, unwavering voice of comfort and resolve, a chaplain, friend and field general. But several weeks ago, at a funeral for a fallen firefighter, he had promised to walk the fireman's sister down the aisle..... Go here for the rest of the story.

I think God had a reason to keep Rudy from challenging Hillary. I know he is not our ideal as a conservative or a family man. But I am thankful he is the mayor of NYC and I am thankful he will (hopefully) be around to keep Clinton from becoming Governor of that state.

Thanks for this very touching post, soccermom. I'm a New Yorker and I didn't know about this at all, but Rudy has been absolutely magnificent - the one bright spot in a deeply sad story. Thanks again.

Sure thing. Here's another version of the story.

He's a good man.

Way to go, Mayor.
