John Bynes, who called in and complained to Giuliani because he needed
food stamps and medication to live at a time when Rudy’s policies were
having dire consequences to people like John. Rudy just laughs him
off…UP: Did Rudy know about John’s condition? Probaby not, but

“When “Giuliani Time” gives a glimpse of this Giuliani,
it’s mesmerizing. So, the smiling mayor fields a phone call during his
weekly radio show. The caller is angry about city cuts to food stamps
and Medicare aid for the disabled. Hizzoner is a pit bull to the chase.

“Hey, John,” Giuliani
tells his caller, “what kind of hole are you in? There’s something
that’s really wrong with you. . . . We’ll send you psychiatric help
because you really need it.”

As it happens, the caller, John Hynes, needs real help. A disabled
lawyer, he suffers from Parkinson’s disease, and he’s had his benefits
cut off and he’s running out of medicine.

Nothing chills the blood so thoroughly as the sight of a powerful man turned gleeful bully.”

The more time there is, Rudy’s record will be known and he won’t be the white knight of the GOP. (Big h/t to Arlen of the Daily Back Ground)
