Quote for the Day:

That meant creating new heroes and villains. Rudy Giuliani, a washed-up scandal magnet who in August 2001 was making headlines for his illicit affairs and past shady dealings—which include, notably, protecting his longtime friend Trump from being investigated for criminal activity—became recast by the national media as America’s Mayor. Reporters who once hated Giuliani were now willing to do anything he said, including vote for Republican billionaire Michael Bloomberg in the mayoral election, and they were reluctant to do things they needed to do, like demand real answers about why Giuliani had not taken greater precautions to protect the World Trade Center from terrorism after it had been attacked in 1993. Too many illusions had been shattered, so we built new ones, illusions that shone like the lights beaming out from the cavernous hole where the towers once stood.
