Is this premature? Well, after his 3rd place finish in the Florida Republican primary, the first-day lead stories from the big national papers say this is the End of Rudy -- la Commedia finito!
New York City had two famous Italian-American mayors, Fiorello LaGuardia and Rudy Giuliani.
LaGuardia was humane, beloved, fair, scrupulously honest.
Giuliani beat the crap out of the homeless, screamed his brains out at any official who dared to thwart his will, had the most extraordinarily pretzeled romantic life -- at one time a court order from his wife and the mother of his kids barred him from setting foot in the Mayor's official residence -- and tormented the mentally ill and the addicted. He also sterilized Midtown Manhattan and turned it into a synthetic Disney theme park.
One resembled St. Francis of Assissi, the other resembled Benito Mussolini. In Florida, a hit squad of New York City firefighters stalked his campaign appearances telling voters that Giuliani's unwillingness to provide up-to-date radio equipment that worked contributed to the needless deaths of firefighters at the World Trade Center on 9/11.
If Rudy makes some kind of miraculous resurrection, we'll take him out of the garbage can and put him back in the Agence-Vleeptron Presse Babysitters Poll. Meanwhile, here are the remaining candidates. Anyone in this bunch you'd trust to babysit your beloved little child alone for two hours? Leave A Comment. Let me know your thoughts.
