Rudy’s picnic with the New York press was over once her left office. Mr. 9/11 then thought he could use this tragedy to run for president. This is a man who publically humiliated Donna Hanover, then his wife, for some two-bit social climber–his current wife–who posseses none of the grace, professional accomplishment, or class of Ms. Hanover.
How an elected official treats the mother of his children in public tells you a great deal about the soul of that man.
The New York press wa shaking in its boots while Rudy was mayor and founds the testicular fortitude to address Rudy and his nonsense when he left office and starting floating this idea that he would run for president. Beyond New York, Rudy cannot (and will not) be elected to anything. Period.
He “pimped” 9/11 to fame and fortune while one of his deputy mayors, Rudy Washington, had to sue the city for 9/11 related health problems. Imagine that.
As for Bloomberg: there is an article in The New York Times today about his Deputy Mayor who, according to the article, is actually running the city. The apple does not fall far from the tree. This is another died-in-the-wool arrogant soul.
The city has become bifurcated with folks who can barely afford to live in the city and those who have fabulous wealth. Quality of life in New York? What the hell does that mean? Paying thousands a month to live in a damn closet-like apartment?
When the City fully collapses from greed, Rudy and Mike names will be remembered. That’s what happens when you have these outsized personalities.
