TELL IT, RUDY, TELL IT – AT 8:37 A.M. ET: Rudy Giuliani analyzes Baltimore. His analysis will not win him a place in the Diplomacy Hall of Fame. From Newsmax:
Former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani said three decades of liberal Democrats running Baltimore have done little to help the plight of minorities.
Appearing Tuesday on Fox News Channel's "Hannity," Giuliani said he was able to bring communities such as Washington Heights back to prosperity after a riot in 1992 and a blackout in 1999.
"That community went from being very high crime community to being a good community," Giuliani said. "I would ask all those politicians you saw there talking about the terrible conditions, economic conditions, they have been in charge of Baltimore for the last 30 years. This is a Democratic city."
Democrat Martin O'Malley was the governor for eight years and mayor of Baltimore eight years before then, Giuliani noted.
"If those people are suffering from economic depravation, then what the heck have they done?," he asked. "What has (Rep.) Elijah Cummings done for his city? … What kind of economic development have they done?"
COMMENT: You would think there'd be more study of Giuliani's remarkable success as mayor New York. But there isn't because the journalistic left doesn't want to give a Republican mayor credit, even though his record is clear.
To get credit these days you must be a member of the correct party, and you must prove, to a legal standard, that you are absolutely useless.
