Rudy the Exploiter
Thanks to Joe Conason (and also to Keith Olberman's recent Special Comment) for calling out Rudy Giuliani. No one, NO ONE, has exploited 9/11 more for personal and political gain than this megalomaniac. it is totally crazy, but apt, i guess, that 95% of the country knows giuliani for his so-called grace under pressure on 9/11, yet don't know that on 9/11 his approval ratings were in the dumps (don't know the actual number, but i remmeber it being in the low 30s or even lower). It's kind of shocking that this guy's leading the republican pack, but as some of the other respondants to Mr. Conason's article have noted, the more he opens his mouth, the more he shoves his foot in it. If the MSM actually took two weeks to seriously investigate Rudy, he'd be history. But for some reason they love him (note, two recent Daily New cover pieces (!) on Judy Nathan exes, who allegedly extoll her numerous virtues. what a joke!) and the MSM's love for him is why he's still going strong for the Repug nod.
