The fact that he was ever called that just shows we were far gone as a country way, way before all this.

It's my understanding that he wasn't even a good or respected mayor before 9/11. He was largely disliked. But the rest of the country just started garbling his balls because be was mayor when the planes hit.

When it happened, his first thought was probably, "What luck!"

Before then, he was seen nationwide as centrist Republican who would go along with Democrats on a lot of issues.

So, how's that going for us?
