How does losin 341 NYC firefighters, 23 NYC police officers, 37 Port Authority police officers, 2 paramedics, and over 2600 citizens on his watch make Guliani "America's Mayor"? He did nothin but lose people! He's every bit as incompetent as Nagin.

Now Al, how can you say Rudy lost people in the 9/11 disaster? Surely you are meaning something different there. He was in no way responsible for that? What made him America's mayor was the way he handle the aftermath. He handled it with compassion, dignity, and organization something that was clearly lacking with Blanco?
