Supercelebrity Rudy Giuliani Speaks of International Fame
Presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani was campaigning in one of those little-known battleground states this week; the United Kingdom. Not able to resist an opportunity for a photo op with conservative icon Margaret Thatcher in a London hotel lobby, Giuliani proudly declared, (Interestingly enough, most of the people gathered in the hotel were paying attention to Dustin Hoffman as he walked through the lobby.)
Well I know who Rudy is, but not the way he wants me to. The Rudy Giuliani I know:
- regarding the location of the Emergency Command Center, which had to be abandoned and cost emergency responder lives
- Refused to , preventing different emergency response units to communicate with one another
- Did not disclose knowledge of high levels of , now causing severe respiratory illness in cleanup workers
So I guess he’s right. He is probably one of the best known living American former mayors. And he’s one of the best known living Americans; providing you remove Presidents, Artists, Writers, Actors, Musicians, and Athletes.
If I had screwed up as much as this guy has, I certainly wouldn’t be touting my actions as great accomplishments. If anything, I would downplay them and discuss something else. But Giuliani keeps banging the 9/11 drum so much, that I honestly don’t know where he stands on any other issues. As Bloomberg columnist Margaret Carlson aptly said, “.â€
But if this election thing doesn’t work out for him, at least he has his fame to fall back on.
Enjoy your fame Rudy. You earned it!
