Rudy: "I Do Not Talk To People
Who Charge Me With Corruption"
Then, this could make it very difficult for Rudy—or any Republican for that matter—to get his message out.0 comments
This could mean a total press blackout.
Hell, we're just starting to see the first Mike Huckabee corruption stories float up, out of Arkansas.
To be fair, the ATU's Larry Hanley of Staten Island, while not an overly articulate man, is not charging Rudy Giuliani directly with corruption. If you listen to him, he's warning the Mayor that some within his administration may be corrupt.
Notice also, Rudy's burning curiosity to find out who in his City Hall MIGHT have corruption charges brought against them. Nahhhh, just shout down the talker. He found out soon enough anyway, as they started carting off his staff.
Because, in typical Rudy M.O., ALL of Rudy's chosen people are as pure as the driven snow. So, attack the attacker. Again, until all the frog walks begin, mind you...
Thank you, Larry.
Another interesting sidelight is the date on the video: 6/27/01.
Those of you around the country can now finally see how much—just over two months before we were to go to the polls on Primary Day, September 11, 2001 to elect Rudy's successor—just how much Rudy had pissed off the citizenry of New York. This rowdy meeting was pretty typical everyday fare all over the city when it involved Rudy by that point.
We couldn't WAIT to be rid of him.
That's why New York laughed so hard at him when he wanted to suspend terms limits, to stay on as mayor for the good of all after he turned tail and ran from his post at the World Trade Center, leaving hundreds of NYers to die.
Now, honestly, isn't all this tired Nixonian "I Am Not A Crook!" crap how we all feel now about Bush? Why go there again? Because, that's exactly where Rudy would take us. Make no mistake. Same crap; nastier spin.
Hat tip to Henry M. for sending the video along!
