I lived in Queens when Giuliani was Mayor, and at one time, I actually admired the guy (He was a hell of a lot better than David Dinkins, his incompetent predecessor), but I dont think that he is fit to be President.
While I generally agree with his stance on foreign policy, I think that he lacks proper morality and sound judgement. Specifically, the following "lapses in judgement" bother me:
- He married his second cousin, Regina Peruggi
- He associated himself with dishonest and corrupt men such as Howard Safir, Thomas Von Essen, and Bernard Kerik
- On more than one occassion, he dressed in drag and shamelessly paraded around in front of audiences and cameras. His first foray into public cross dressing was on March 1, 1997 when he appeared onstage dressed as Marilyn Monroe at the New York Hilton with actress Julie Andrews. Later that year, he appeared on Saturday Night Live dressed as "Rita Delvecchio's mother", and in 2000, he he appeared at the Mayor's Inner Circle Press Roast wearing a purple dress and a blond wig, and participated in a skit in which Donald Trump tried to kiss him.
Take a look at this YouTube video:
Seriously, how can you trust the judgment of a guy like this?
