Prometheus 6

Giuliani's critics say that while he is justifiably praised for his leadership in the days after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, his advancement of Kerik, his former chauffeur, was part of a pattern of rewarding loyalty over competence in personnel decisions.

Noooo...

As a Giuliani critic, I do NOT say he was justifiably praised for his leadership in the days after Sept. 11, 2001. I watched. What Giuliani did was go on TV daily to report on what other people did. If that is still considered leadership at the end of my personal worldline, I am prepared to make this my last incarnation on this plane. If y'all don't figure out that leadership is more than that, or introduciong a bill in the House or Senate (I swear, every time someone thanks a Representative for his or her leadership "on this matter" I will puke)...

Well, I'm just feeling bitter and...today, at least...am prepared to write off a lot of folks.

On the other hand, Giuliani IS the very definition of cronyism, so...
