at least wasn't in the past.
When he ran NYC, he ran it as a dictatorship and rarely made a public misstep, even when calling ferret owners some sort of perverts, he knew that there were few enough ferret owners to matter. Same thing with the black neighborhoods-- as long as he had most of the whites, Jews, and Asians in his pocket, he was OK and didn't have to give a shit about them.
Sounds like a scumbag? Yeah, he was a scumbag, and he hurt the people who had no power anyway, and couldn't hurt him. Nice guy.
But now he's totally lost it. He ran for Mayor on his mob busting, and now for President on 9/11. Other than that, he's got nothin' Years ago, he could come up with some bullshit that sounded almost all right, but now he's completely out of his element.
I guess he can be the poster boy for the Peter Principle.
