I like it.

I agree with Samantha Power.

Rove has already been telling the Republicans to quit Husseining Obama.

He's also been singing the praises (on O'Reilly, of course) of the McCains' adoption of a "dying Bangladeshi orphan".

AKA the "illegitimate black love child" of the 2000 campaign.

If I were someone other than me, I'd be speechless.

Wouldn't it also be an unusual way to unify the Democratic Party? Not an easy way, mind you, since there are supporters on each side who would strenuously object. And yet, those very supporters would then have to rise to the occasion themselves, instead of just demanding that their candidates do so.

Now, that would be something to behold! And in my book, it would definitely outweigh any of the possible negatives associated with such a pairing.

And there's still that gravy... making Rove & Co.'s quality of work life less amenable.

It's all good.

Perhaps there could be a way to include pedicures, too? ;~)

when she talks about a joint ticket after being so mean during the time before junior Tuesday. Neither would actually do it and it would not be good for Barack because of how it would fire up the crazies who would support McCain more than they would if Obama stays away from Hillary.

Early life and education

Rudolph Giuliani was inflicted on the world by Harold Angel Giuliani and Helen C. D'Avanzo, both children of Italian immigrants. Though scientists disagree about whether the primary factor responsible for dickishness is environmental or genetic, it is generally thought unlikely that dickishness of the level found in Giuliani could be attributed solely to environmental causes. Most non-dicks are therefore relieved that Harold and Helen Giuliani stopped having children after Rudy was born.

In 1951, when Rudy Giuliani was seven, his family moved from Brooklyn, NY to Long Island, home of fellow dick Bill O’Reilly.

Giuliani went on to Manhattan College in Riverdale, Bronx, where he majored in political science, allowing him to hate democracy in a more intelligent fashion. While there, he also considered becoming a Catholic priest. About his decision not to pursue mistry, Giuliani has said the choice would probably have been different “if the priesthood had encompassed marriage.” Or, in Giuliani’s case, three marriages.

Giuliani was elected class president in his sophomore year, but was not re-elected in his junior year, proving that the now-accepted axiom “the more you know Giuliani, the less you like him” was established at least as early as the 1960s.

After attending NYU law school, Giuliani clerked for a United States district judge. At the time, the United States was engaged in the war in Vietnam. Giuliani supported the war, and would have fought in it if he hadn’t been born with a crippling disability: a complete lack of courage. Fortunately, there were plenty of poor people and minorities who did not have this disability, so by the time Giuliani’s three deferments ran out and he was no longer able to avoid getting a draft number, he was never called.

Why certain people are born with bodies unable to manufacture the neuro-compounds that make up courage is unknown. In some instances, including Giuliani’s, the condition is, oddly, coupled with a strong desire to create situations in which courage is required, especially war.

A person with this combination is known as a “Chickenhawk.” There is still, as yet, no cure for this condition. It is not life-threatening, though one of its unfortunate side-effects is the greatly increased likelihood of one ending up as a fellow at the Heritage Foundation or a senior official in a Republican administration.

Bernard Kerik

Giuliani would later appoint a stooge named Bernard Kerik as police commissioner. Kerik became one of Giuliani’s best friends and would later become Giuliani’s partner in Giuliani Partners, a corrupt security consulting firm Giuliani formed in 2002 to profit from the death and tragedy of 9/11. Giuliani also later recommended Kerik to President Bush to become the Secretary of Homeland Security. It was from the vetting for this position that it was revealed that not only was Kerik connected to the mob, but that he was one of the most corrupt public officials in the modern era.

In Kerik’s defense, however, there were several forms of corruption that Kerik was never even alleged to have been involved in. These include:

• Importing of rare and/or endangered species • Desecrating human remains • Genocide

Not so wild about the Blacks

For part of Giuliani’s first and second terms, he enjoyed moderately high approval ratings. But only among white people. This was because of his aggressive use of coded, race-based appeals to the worst instincts of New Yorkers.

In 1997, a Haitian immigrant named Abner Louima was brutally assaulted by police officer Justin Volpe. The officer was from Staten Island, Giuliani’s most supportive borough. Louima initially claimed that his attackers shouted, “This is Giuliani time!” during the assault. Later testimony cast doubt on this, though the reason the claim was so widely accepted at the time was because it felt true to many New Yorkers. It was, in fact, “Giuliani time.” If Giuliani is elected President, the rest of the country will find out what “Giuliani time” means. Should that happen, among the many ways Americans might possibly describe “Giuliani time,” “fun” will not likely be among them.

Another typical case at the time was that of Patrick Dorismond, a security guard and father of two. On March 16, 2000, he was standing outside a bar when two undercover police officers approached him and asked where they could buy marijuana. Dorismond told them he wasn’t a drug dealer. A scuffle ensued and so, this being “Giuliani time,” the officers shot and killed Dorismond.

The reaction of Giuliani, then involved in his abortive run for Senate against Hillary Clinton, was to offer a statement of support to the family and vow to investigate the matter. Just kidding! That’s what a non-racist who was not too cowardly to resist appealing to the lowest common denominator in a Senate campaign would have done. But this was Giuliani, and this was “Giuliani time.”

Instead, the next morning Giuliani released Dorismond’s sealed juvenile records to show that he was “no altar boy.” The records contained a misdemeanor that occurred when Dorismond was 13 years old. To many people, though not Giuliani, a misdemeanor at the age of 13 isn’t sufficient justification to be later murdered by police officers. But those people haven’t experienced “Giuliani time.” And, as it turned out, Dorismond was, in fact, a former altar boy. Though now he was a dead former altar boy.

True to form, Giuliani never apologized to the Dorismond family. New York City taxpayers, however, had to apologize for him, in the form of a $2.25 million settlement to the Dorismond family.

For this and other reasons, Giuliani’s popularity rating had fallen to the low 40’s by the time of 9/11, the event that Giuliani would happily use to enrich himself and revive his then-failing political career.
