<< LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's Queen Elizabeth bestowed an honorary knighthood on former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani (news - web sites) Wednesday, praising his pivotal role in bolstering his devastated city after the September 11 attacks. >>

She knighted him for doing his job?:Q

 

[xero940]

I thought this happened a while ago...oh well

Still pretty cool though...interesting how after 9-11, everyone forgot him cheating on his wife with Judi Nathan, or all the stuff with Diallo, Louima, and other black folk wated by the gesta...I mean, NYPD

Good for Rudy. It means absolutely nothing, but good for him.

 

[RossMAN]

I think Sean Connery was also knighted a while ago?

Right NFS4,

3,000 people dying in your city from terrorist nuts running planes into supertowers is just part of the job.

Boy you really are a liberal.

I don't know about you, but anyone worth their salt as mayor would have stood up and took charge just as he did. If the mayor of NY at the time had been Joe Schmoe, would he have gotten knighted? No. Rudy only got knighted b/c he is the most outspoken/high profile mayor in America.

You can call me a liberal all you want, but I really don't give two sh!ts about either party b/c both of them are pretty repugnant at times. Especially the Democrat's latest commercial on Elzabeth Dole and linking her to Keneth Lay. That was downright DISGUSTING on their part.

note: its an honorary knighthood. He isnt a Knight... Only Brits can be Knights.

 

[fatalbert]

ahhh, nice for Rudy but it isn't a very big deal at all.

Worth their salt is the key word. And you tried to make it look like the WTC attacks were just normal work for a mayor and they are not.

Yuor bias against him is clear.



<< You can call me a liberal all you want, but I really don't give two sh!ts about either party b/c both of them are pretty repugnant sometimes. >>



I judge you by your postings and that's the conclusion.

When you complement one republican or have one thought that even just hints of being conservative, then I might re-evaluate my conlcusion.

Why does it have to be conservative or liberal?? Who gives a sh!t. That's why I can't stand all of you partisan groupies:disgust:

As for your last point, see above (noteably updated BEFORE your post).

Right. LOL Especially since you are one.

At least I admit my bias.



<< As for your last point, see above (noteably updated BEFORE your post). >>



LOL Well it wasn't there when I was quoting you so I didn't see to put it in.

But obviousuly you felt you had something to prove or it wouldn't be in there

You're the only one with something to prove with your partisan witch hunt. You know, I know it, the AT community knows it

LOL Partisan witch hunt?

I call them as I see em. I have no problem with people who admit their bias, but people who have the bias and are afraid or want to keep their impartial facade, I have a problem with those people.

But, I have been wrong before and I have no problem admitting to it.

If you can find one conservative point of view or stance you have taken (besides the one you forced in here) in any past thread I will apologize uncondtionally.

I already got you to admit your AMD bias, this is just the next step

In all fairness (the whole Judy Nathan thing was pretty ugly), I can't see how a mayor is in any way responsible for the alleged criminal acts of policemen.

 

[xero940]

Goddammit, could ya'll STOP with the political flamefest that occurs in ANY THREAD you both participate in? Jeez

Let's all just stay united in criticizing Giuliani's knighting...or at least turn this into a car-bashing thread...then I can join the party

It wasn't about what he DID, it was about what he DIDN'T do...he was in the opinion of the NYC black community, much too lax with the situation, and he didn't punish the officers well enough (in some cases, not at ALL :Q) whatever though...when all of that stuff happened, I really didn't care enough about it, to tell the truth...too busy doing teenage stuff
