Giuliani is so overrated. He did his job during September 11th. That's it. I'm sure many big city mayors would be as competent. Living a couple hours from Boston, I'm sure that Menino would have been at least as capable. Most mayors aren't Ray Nagin dumb.
I just hate that Giuliani thinks that doing what his job required of him merits special consideration or praise, especially 14 years after the fact. He doesn't know more about Muslims because he was on the receiving end of their attacks. It doesn't give him any special insight into the genesis of terrorism. If he has any special knowledge, it would be in coordinating response teams on the ground, not in Middle Eastern politics, religion, or our foreign policy. And it's ridiculous that his brand of fascism is defended by many because "he was there, man." No, fuck that, fuck him, and fuck you.
