...so is Rudy Giuliani:
"Rudy Giuliani's political rivals are digging through his mayoral archives in a search for political dirt - but they may have a hard time finding anything.
More than five years after Giuliani spirited his papers out of City Hall in his last days in office - saying he would pay to have them privately archived - virtually all of the 2,118 boxes he took have been microfilmed and returned to the city, aides say.
But the index offers little detail on specific files, and Giuliani's archivists have yet to deliver a more comprehensive road map to the voluminous collection, now housed in an old court building behind City Hall.
"You would have better luck finding a picture of Rudy wearing a Red Sox cap than locating a meaningful accounting or record of his tenure as mayor of New York," griped one operative from a rival presidential campaign."
Interesting, considering that you'd think he'd want to have sheer transparency about his mayoral career, and especially his much touted 9/11 experience. Then again, if you read Lupica today maybe Giuliani has a few things about that he'd rather you not know:
"...the way Rudy Giuliani knows everything about terrorism because he was mayor when it happened to New York. It is why he tells everybody that only he, a Republican, America's Mayor, can keep us safe from future attacks. As if he knows things that nobody else knows because he was mayor of New York the day we got hit. The only problem with this, now that Giuliani has built both his fortune and his current place in the polls on his response to the attacks of Sept.11, is that his response that day does not measure up to its legend. His command center to fight terrorism was at 7 World Trade Center and his firefighters were using the same radios to communicate with each other that hadn't worked when the World Trade Center had first been hit in 1993."
Ah well, I'm sure none of that stuff is worthwhile anyway.
