Giuliani, "not subtle", associates himself with Churchill in the UK
...During this appearance on the international stage, he was intent on associating himself with two of the most powerful Britons ever to play on it: Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher.

He was not subtle.

The entertainment for the luncheon was billed as a conversation between Giuliani and Celia Sandys, Churchill's granddaughter. As chats go, it was stilted, but there was some give and take: Giuliani offered voluminous praise for Churchill's resolute, defiant leadership during World War II, and graciously accepted as Sandys repeatedly likened him to the great man.

Sandys described Giuliani as 'the man Americans call `Churchill in a baseball cap.' ''

Giuliani, as expected, spoke at length about 9/11 and his guidance of New York through its darkest hour. That day, he said, as he has before, he looked to Churchill for inspiration. He prepared for Sept. 12, 2001, by forgoing sleep to read Churchill's biography, he said.

2. Has Giuliani been taking megalomaniac lessons from Donald Trump?
WTF is this?

4. As I said before, nacissistic personality disorder to the max.
The classic syptoms where a person:

1. has a grandiose sense of self-importance
2. is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
3. believes that he or she is "special" and unique and can only be understood by other special people
4. requires excessive admiration
5. strong sense of entitlement
6. takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends
7. lacks empathy
8. is often envious or believes others are envious of him or her
9. arrogant affect.


The same could be said for other Republican "heros" such as George W. Bush, Jeb Bush and Rush Limbaugh.
