Why not, the GOP's goals are all about serving the rich and powerful anyway. The whole religion and morals thing is just a smokescreen. Tell the religious right what they want to hear and, if they believe you, you're gold with today's GOP. However, they might not believe him.

A girl can hope!

No doubt he will be flanked on the campaign stands by Newt Gingrich and Rush Limabugh, making a total of nine marriages.

...was he in the dark wig?

... who lived with two gay friends when he moved out of Gracie Mansion after his (second) marriage publicly and messily unraveled? Way to pay them back.

the post-9/11 rumors of irony's demise were greatly exaggerated.

I'm a New Yorker. No doubt Giuliani has a following of some sort, but I think most New Yorkers got pretty tired of him a long time ago. And his presidential run was embarrassing to watch. His own personal and family life is a sterling example of how not to do it. All in all, could be fun to watch him run for statewide office and get slapped back on his ass.

Noun verb 911 , Gay Marrage? a new litany

Seriously? The guy who's been married three times, seperated, divorced, cheated on his second wife (and married his cousin the first time) and ended up marrying his mistress is gonna lecture the rest of us about marriage?

Fuck you, Rudy. Seriously. FUCK YOU!

I think BabyGrumpus pretty much nailed this one.

By the time that his opponent would get done noting the political expedience of his stance, given

1) 3 marriages

2) doesn't talk to children

3) did drag

4) lived with a gay couple

5) supported civil unions and signed DP benefit bills

Rudy would be left to flap in the wind. There's no support for such a change except trying to get elected. I can imagine the photos of Rudy in drag next to his words about gay marriage..

Besides, is that really going to resonate in the middle of the worst depression in 70 years? I don't think so.

Like McCain he flounders on the issue, not knowing whether not to look like a mean spirited (and hypocritical) jerk who alienates moderates or then, alternately, thinking he can't possibly win without the sanctimony needed to win over the conservative theocrats. Pathetic and he's not too bright, is he?, if he doesn't yet recognize his party only trusts yahoos.

People saw through his 9/11 exploitation on the natinal stage, how many people does he think he'll fool on the local level?

I agree with every single one of the comments so far!

The new savior of america along with mr. morality gingrich and loud mouth limburger are going to save the sanctity of marriage. WOW!!! Rudy googleface had to marry one of his cousins, that is how hard up he was for a piece of ass. Between the 3 they have enough to have a baseball team. By now they might have enough to have a few spares. The republican saviors of the world.

they should make for interesting campaign posters. Like, er, this one:
