When Rudy Speaks, People Pay to Listen

Fortunately for ex-Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, crisis management happens to be a perennially hot topic among business leaders.

And because no crisis in the city he headed was larger than the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, Giuliani's life in the private sector is as public as ever. By his own admission, the former mayor expects to make $8 million in speaking fees this year, commanding, by one estimate, about $100,000 per speech, and perhaps twice that if it's a foreign engagement.

I think he will. He is loved in a different way than Clinton. Rudy was a great leader for New York and hasn't even gotten started yet in his political career. Clinton is a novelty for people right now - He will dwindle in popularity after a few years. His political career is over. You gotta remember he has only been out of office just over a year. Give it time. People will soon get tired of him. The only problem is - HOLLYWIERD will constantly shove him out in front whether we like it or not. And I am sure he will be around for the 2004 elections. But people will soon tire of him.
