Ignizio Praises Giuliani, Dismisses 'Unlikeable' Critics


Here's Republican City Councilman Vinny Ignizio of Staten Island praising Rudy Giuliani and saying that “those who are having a good time dancing on his grave” don't "have the likability factor themselves.”

If these unnamed people were more likable, Ignizio says, “they’d have offices somewhere in this building."

UPDATE: Mark Green isn't taking the bait from Ignizio and Oddo. Here's Green's response:

"Haven't seen their comments and have no time or interest to do so.

"But it was Koch who said on WiseGuys that "Florida drove a stake through the heart of the beast" and, while I was certainly critical of Rudy, I began by saying that tipped my hat to him b/c he had the guts to go into the presidential "arena," to use Teddy Roosevelt's phrase. To which my wife later wondered, 'why were you so nice?'

"Walking off the set, Fran Reiter said I was the most laudatory of the panel on RG (which is admittedly not saying much)."
