The British press and people have long loved Rudy, I should say. When we got an elected mayor for London, people kept talking about how we hoped the mayor would do a Giuliani type job on the city. When Giuliani appeared before the UN, British TV news compared him to Winston Churchill. He is universally respected here. A knighthood is a natural culmination of that respect.

"But it would have to be an honorific one, since U.S. citizens cannot accept full knighthoods."
Do you know if this is correct? Why can't a US citizen accept a knighthood?

Article 1, section 9 of the Constitution:
No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince or foreign State.
So a citizen can, but can then no longer hold any sort of office, unless approved prior to acceptance by Congress. Congress generally only approves of honorary titles.

No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States: and no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state.
Article I, Section 9
But I don't know of anything precluding all US citizens from holding titles of nobility unless its the so-called missing 13th amendment.

Can't have that! We need Rudy in Tenet's post at CIA. Get rid of the Clinton holdover, clean house, and get the Agency to live up to it's name.

WTG, Sir Rudy!

Does this mean Hill will have to curtsy to Rudy???Wouldn't that be sweet!
To: cajungirl
Does this mean Hil will have to curtsy to Rudy? We can only hope! And walk 10 paces behind him, not speak until spoken to and back out of his presence while bobbing. The mere thought Makes my heart sing!!!!

London and Londoners are my favorite place and people outside of our country. London, some years ago, was a clean, beautiful place to be and I spent much time there. Rudy would, I believe, restore much that was, put the PC would not like it.
Have you gotten your copy of Barbara Olson's book "The Final Days" yet. I am reading it now and I am even more set on seeing these two low life criminals upside down swinging from gallows erected at WTC while crowds cheer.

This ought to fill Bill and Hillary Klingon with jealous rage. Jealousy and hate are the only two emotions they seem to possess.

Sorry for the double posting. There seems to be a glitch somewhere -- Probably it’s me.
To: Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)
No, they have lust as well as jealousy and hate.

It isn't out in the UK yet, but indeed, I have reserved my copy with Amazon.co.uk as soon as it is. I am looking forward to it - I really found Hell to Pay interesting. It confirmed everything I believed about Hillary anyway.

I thought Olsen's book wasn't out yet!! I think congress might oblige Rudy with the right to be a knight. And our new CIA director would be Sir Rudy G.,,god, I love it.
To: cajungirl
Ah yes, Sir Rudolph Giuliani. Perhaps we ought to elevate him to a peer as well - Lord Giuliani of Manhattan. Hmmm. He'd certainly add life to the House of Lords! ;)
Best Regards, Ivan
