Rudy Giuliani Is Not A Hero. Saturday Edition.

Rudy Giuliani is not a hero.

Heroes don't talk about their accomplishments. Heroes don't brag about what they did or how they did it.

Rudy Giuliani is not a hero.

Five plus years later, he still uses 9/11 like a crutch. As the loss of of his internal campaign documents show, his advisors believe that the continuing to hype 9/11 as a triumph makes up for some flaws, like the divorces, and corruption of colleagues, the fact that he was not a popular mayor. Or that Richard Bratton was the one who actually drove down crime.

Rudy Giuliani is not a hero.

Heroes don't make bobblehead dolls of themselves, sporting a "FDNY" hat , crying for attention, 'look at me, look at me, I'm a hero.'
