Rudy the Terrible

This is the best article I have seen on why Rudy should not be president. It is a very specific set of criticisms of his use of power as Mayor. As such, it barely lays a glove on him in my opinion. "Hired yes men," instead of people that publicly disagreed with him? "Too confrontational with the legislature," as if someone trying to execute a 180 degree policy change would be able to operate by consensus. "Only goes along with requests for information when forced to by the court." We admire people using all the legal means available to get the job done when we agree with what they are trying to get done. What is impressive is that even in this plainly anti-Rudy piece the author has to acknowledge his success in pulling the city back from the brink and can't find anything that suggests him bending fules to line his own pockets.
