POS who had a public relationship with Judith Nathan while his kids were young while still married to Donna Hanover.

And now he's undergoing a bitter divorce from Judith Nathan.

And before Donna Hanover he was married to his cousin having the balls to say he was unaware.

Ashamed to say we are alumni of the same high school.

A big time POS who subscribes to the 4 F''s of relationships with his women.

If I recall correctly, Giuliani also had a fling with Chrystyne Lategano, his press secretary, while he was Mayor, too.

Heh. They were only second cousins, which is not a legal impediment to marriage in any state, or in the Catholic Church. Yet somehow he managed to induce the Church to give him an annulment.

I wonder id he paid $500,000 to get his annulment, like Sony Music's Tommy Mottola did, after divorcing Mariah Carey. That is the exact ammount that Mottola put on the Archbishop's desk in 2000!!!

My recollection is from the old Baltimore Catechism (remember those?) which is pretty universal throughout the Catholic Church in the US.

Safe Streets/Safe City was authorized and funded by Mayor Dinkins, and was already in progress when Giuliani took office.

He just co-signed something Dinkins already started..but initiated a program that targeted Blacks and Latinos,enforced by police. Fuck him.

The name may have been authorized and funded under Dinkins but the application thereof happened under Giuliani.

Dinkins was ineffective in every way . I was a teenager at the time and as most, I did as I pleased breaking many laws . Within 6 months of Rudy taking office the attitudes of the police officers changed . Looking the other way was no longer going to fly. They actively pursued law breakers . Drinking in the park setting garbAge cans on fire was not going to be ttollerated, illegal joker poker machines will be confiscated and vAndalism not tolerated . People changed their behaviors in middle and working class areas . He saved the city . I love the Dinkins apologists . Nice man, clueless leader.

He locked up the crooks and let people live their lives

Yes, it was Giuliani and not Dinkins who went after the QOL offenses. People who criticize the “broken windows” method of policing ignore how much of a freak show it was before these petty offenses were enforced.

On the other hand, the murder rate started its turnaround under Dinkins.

Oh, I dunno; I'm a certifiable lefty, but I do acknowledge that Giuliani's firm hand on the throttle was instrumental in turning around the civic ambience of New York. I had extended stays in NYC in 1981, 1991, and 2005, and the improvement was noticeable even to a visitor.

He will, but I think Bratton deserves some of the credit.

Guiliana in his 2nd term got too full of himself and went off like a rabid animal over an exhibit at the Brooklyn Art Museum, at which point his sanity came into question.

Also stupid of him to put a command center in the WTC knowing the WTC got its first attack in 1993 and itself was a target.

Over the years, I always looked up at the Twin Towers as I drove past them, because after the 1993 attack, I had the overwhelming impression that they would one day be gone.

I wasn't alone in that suspicion. One of our big EMS Chiefs, Paul Maniscalco, used to teach Incident Command seminars for us, and at the end of the course, he always said someday, terrorists would destroy the WTC. He was a serious advocate of keeping the top brass separated from high-profile locations for this exact reason.

So what happens on 9/11? They put the command post IN THE LOBBY of WTC 1. The result old Chief Maniscalco predicted years before, came to pass. FDNY lost the entire top echelon of the department in one hour, an irreplaceable brain trust.

There's always that one guy who has it figured out, but everybody ignores him.
