Rudy the "urban legend":

http://www.rudy-urbanlegend.com/

14 exaggerations:

* Giuliani exaggerated his alleged expertise and experience with advanced interrogation techniques.

* He exaggerated his background as a religious scholar, claiming on separate occasions, "It happens that I am a student of the history of religion," and " an area I know really, really well academically."

* He exaggerated prostate cancer survival-rates in order to make a dishonest ad about healthcare.

* He exaggerated how much time he spent at Ground Zero in the aftermath of 9/11, claiming to be an actual recovery worker.

* He exaggerated the responsibilities of the mayor of NYC, claiming to have the security of 8 million people "on his shoulders," basically characterizing himself as the commander-in-chief of some kind of city-state.

* He exaggerated his 9/11 record in a variety of breathtaking ways.

* He exaggerated his background in counter-terrorism, claiming to have been "studying Islamic terrorism for 30 years," a claim which quickly fell apart.

* He exaggerated his record of reducing abortions and increasing adoptions in New York City during his tenure.

* He exaggerated his record of tax cuts as mayor, including tax cuts that passed over his opposition (and counting one cut twice).

* He exaggerated his budget accomplishments, claiming to have created huge surpluses, when in fact he left Bloomberg with massive deficits.

* He exaggerated how many cops he added to the NYPD.

* He exaggerated Hillary Clinton's comments about economics.

* He even exaggerated his list of congressional endorsements he's received for his presidential campaign.

* And now he's exaggerated Bernie Kerik's record of reducing crime in New York City.

1. Giuliani is a backalley thug. The presidency is too vast and subtle a thing to
hand over to someone with his grievous limitations.

He's self-centered, pugnacious, ego-driven, and testosterone-crazed. Exactly what is not needed now.

All 8 of our candidates, plus Gore, plus Hart, plus RFK Jr etc offer human scope and humane temperament, in addition to many natural gifts that the next president must have if we are to begin the climb back domestically and globally.

Giuliani is a profane man. Diametrically opposite of a public servant.
