*wink* *wink* --- excerpt below.
Giuliani's successes as mayor of New York City, especially his performance immediately after the World Trade Center bombings in 2001, was a popular subject at the gathering.
"It was a toilet and now it's not," said Rita Thompson, who on this year's 9/11 protested a Muslim parade in Manhattan. "How could (Michael) Bloomberg let that go on?" she wondered of the current mayor. "You can bet Giuliani wouldn't have." --- Good, I hate the 1st Amendment too.
Bob Young, aka Alligator Bob, recalled a previous meeting with Giuliani after the 2004 Republican convention in New York, to which Young was a Bush alternate. "I knew after I shook his hand that I had met a future president of the United States.
"If I had any money, I'd give it to him," said Young, who runs an ecotourism outfit in the Tampa area. "But I'm a fourth-generation cracker and we don't have any money. All we got is BS, and I'm here to spread as much of it as I can." --- Hmm, okay?
