"Though I am 100% against Giuliani, I am tired of hearing this slander. The man had cancer.
Slander? Let's take a look at that, shall we? Excerpt from a prior post:
Giuliani had radioactive seed implantation on September 15, 2000 and was up on his feet in a day. There was no chemo. He missed a day or two of work and within a week he had marched in a parade, presided over a town hall-style meeting, gone on the stump for Lazio, and conducted daily press conferences, including one pushing a $1 Billion taxpayer subsidized stadium in Manhattan's West Side after holding meetings with both the Yankees and Jets owners that week.
Back in May, 2000, when he dropped out a mere 11 days before the State Convention where he was to be nominated, leaving the GOP high and dry (with no other choice but to recruit Lazio), the doctors said they thought campaigning was perfectly within his physical capabilities and, if he started treatment right way, he would have recovered and been "full speed" by the time the campaign normally kicked in. Instead, he delayed that procedure until September. Heck, my father, at 80 years old, went through this hardly missing a beat.
Thank you.
"Health" was derided as a flimsy excuse at the time. Truth is he ran from a fight because he didn't think he could win.
Nothing like a picture! Here is video of Giuliani’s weekly radio address on September 22, 2000, exactly one week after surgery. He is discussing prostate cancer with the two doctors that operated on him during the first 5 minutes. He certainly does not seem impaired, in any way. He did miss his radio show on September 15, the day of his surgery.
