Did you watch his funeral? I will never forget this moment .........
He shamed them into standing up. It takes something to shame those two.I remember thinking the only way they got into the cathedral was because the cardinal was dead
Do you remember after flight 800 went down, Clinton said he was going to come to NYC and comfort the families. As I recall the cardinal told him if he did, he would not be seen with him. I also remember he would not allow Gerald Ferrio (sp) to speak in the cathedral.
They dont make they like that anymore.
I always thought Rudy was what made NY so appealing to me; that he made NY great -- even though he cross dressed on Saturday Nite Live, even though he was liberal to the rest of us, Rudy said, "Not in my city!" to the sickening sacrilege that was on its way to one of the museums late in the 1990's...and Rudy was the right man to be in charge of NY on 9/11...he is a human being first, a politician second, and I value that...
But, on reflection, perhaps what made NY great to me is Cardinal O'Connor; and perhaps he is what made Rudy great, too.
