Celebrities - Rudy Giuliani
Rudolph William Louis "Rudy" Giuliani is an American lawyer, businessman and politician from the state of New York who was Mayor of New York City from 1994 to 2001.
A Democrat and Independent in the 1970s, and a Republican from the 1980s to the present, Giuliani served in the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, eventually becoming U.S. Attorney. He prosecuted a number of high-profile cases, including ones against organized crime and Wall Street financiers.
Giuliani served two terms as Mayor of New York City, and was credited with initiating improvements in the city's quality of life and with a reduction in crime. He ran for the United States Senate in 2000 but withdrew due to being diagnosed with prostate cancer and revelations about his personal life. Giuliani gained international attention for his leadership, during and after the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center. In 2001, Time magazine named him "Person of the Year" and he received an honorary knighthood from Queen Elizabeth II in 2002.
After leaving office as mayor, Giuliani founded Giuliani Partners, a security consulting business; acquired Giuliani Capital Advisors (later sold), an investment banking firm; and joined the Bracewell & Giuliani law firm, which changed its name when he became a partner. Giuliani ran for the Republican Party nomination in the 2008 United States presidential election. After leading in national polls for much of 2007, his candidacy faltered late in that year; he did poorly in the caucuses and primaries of January 2008 and withdrew from the race.

I never agree with any mayor taking people's real property for being ACCUSED of a crime. Whatever happened to due process? First it was they'll take your car for drunk driving (accused, not yet convicted), then it was wreckless driving (not necessarily drunk), then the successor he endorsed expanded it to illegal fireworks possession (all fireworks in NY State are illegal - doesn't entitle some rich out-of-touch buttmunch mayor to my car). The last one is a Bloomberg deal, but Giuliani was the inspiration for it. No forfeiture without due process! These last two mayors have sucked in that regard, and please don't hand me some "end justifies the means" BS. This is still America, and only our constitution can justify the means. If it can't, then the law should be struck down. -- Submitted By: (ParkerTillman) on July 17, 2012, 4:53 pm - (0 votes)

Probably bad advice and such. Seeing how he was as mayor of New York City, there would be no way he would of been that inept. -- Submitted By: (PYLrulz) on November 7, 2010, 5:33 pm - (0 votes)

I thought Rudy Boned when he ran a horrible primary campaign in 2008, this guy seemed like he had is act together in NYC, but when he was put on the national stage it seemed like he was a bit lost, and maybe getting bad advice. -- Submitted By: (Chubby Rain) on May 7, 2009, 6:47 am - (2 votes)

How dare you bash one of the greatest mayors in the history of New York City! He has done a lot to fight crime there and got the city through the 9/11 attacks. Whoever voted that way is a liberal piece of crap. Explain yourself if you want to remove yourself from this label. -- Submitted By: (Marcus) on May 7, 2009, 6:41 am - (-2 votes)
