Rudy Giuliani provided inspirational leadership after 9-11. He didn't personally pull any bodies from burning buildings - but then he's a 55-year-old mayor, not a 30-year-old fireman. Time magazine is a reprehensible excretion of cultural Marxism. If its editors had any moral depth or intellectual seriousness, they might have made Rudy Giuliani Man of the Year in the mid-1990s, when his truly remarkable achievements as mayor of New York had become evident.
It's clear that Giuliani has done wrong to his wife and son. It's deeply disappointing that someone with such a stellar record of public achievement comes up woefully short as a family role model at a time when children growing up without a real family is the #1 problem in society. That said, comparing him to Bill Clinton is so ridiculous it's not even a joke. Rudy Giuliani is a crime-fighter; Bill Clinton is a criminal. Giuliani has done a great deal to strengthen civilization in New York; Bill Clinton has done his considerable worst to degrade civization across America.
If Osama went to Arkansas, tracked Bill Clinton down, and... oh geez, now I've written myself into a corner.
I merely wanted to prompt a discussion about serious character flaws so that the hero-worship might be tempered with the reality of his human frailty.
