WE ALL KNOW why Rudy Giuliani went after V.P. Joe Biden on CNBC on Tuesday. He still hasn’t gotten over when Biden scuttled his presidential hopes when he said all Rudy had was “a noun, a verb and 9/11.”
But thanks to Rudy for allowing me to show that clip again. It always makes me laugh.
That Joe got the last laugh by virtue of being a sitting vice president and part of the team that was on watch when Osama bin Laden went down makes it sweeter.

LOL. No, he hasn’t.

During his “reign” as mayor of NYC, Rudy hosted a radio program and took calls from New Yorkers. Two memorable ones come to mind which define him in all his ignoble glory.
One serious: Rudy and the parkinson’s patient. http://tinyurl.com/8scq2hc
One humorous (but goes to the heart of his demagogic personna): http://tinyurl.com/d3sty9m
I agree- Biden isn’t that bright. Remember how he had his central office built in the Word Trade Center? And remember how he picked now convicted criminal Bernad Kerick as his police commissioner, became his partner and then convinced Bush to name him head of Homeland Security?
Or maybe I’m thinking of somebody else.
I know you mean Rudy and not Biden, Mutaman.
Yes, I remember how Rudy insisted on having his headquarters in WTC building 7 instead of in Brooklyn which his police force recommended which imploded to the ground. I have a friend whose husband was a NYC police officer and she told me that the police rank and file hated Rudy for not listening to their advice to house his headquarters in Brooklyn instead of at the WTC as several police officers lost their lives over there on that day.
Or maybe I’m thinking of somebody else.
You got it right, Mutaman.

OH! That’s too funny…
I interviewed Kristen Breitweiser in 2006 who had her own thoughts on Rudy, believe me.
I don’t care if there are 88 years left, Rudy Guiliani will be known as the most incredibly, inexplicably overated human being of the 21st century.
Don’t even get me going on how he never got around to dealing with the fact that police and fireman’s radios were on different frequencies. A small problem that cost a lot of lives on 9/11.
Dude could give a heck of a press conference though.
My favorite are the temper tantrums used to throw: Mapplethorpe at the Brooklyn Museum, jaywalkers, kite flyers along the Belt Parkway, on and on.
