Guiliani Doesn’t Like New York?

Not that you could tell by the cleaned up transcript on the GOP website, but did anyone else catch Guiliani’s throwaway line last night about having the Republican convention in New York? It was something like “I finally feel like I’m at home”. If I was a New Yorker, that line would really piss me off. He was elected twice, yet the only time the city feels like “home” is when they import a bunch of conservatives?? What a dick.

UPDATE : I found a real transcript. Here’s what he said :

GIULIANI: This is the first Republican convention ever held here in New York City.

(APPLAUSE)

I’ve never seen so many Republicans in New York City. It’s great.

(APPLAUSE)

I finally feel at home.

  1. If you lived here, you’d see why. I don’t feel welcome in most of the establishments in my neighborhood because of the anti-Bush, anti-war slogans dotting the windows.
