Rude-a-loodle-oo

As John Amato points out:

50 million bucks gets Ghouliani 1 delegate so far. What an amazing story…

Suh-weet! There's talk of Rudy endorsing McCain tomorrow, surely angling for Attorney General (VP?) where he can run his House of Fascism the way he likes. But the pleasure right now is in the fall, i.e. The New York Times:

...Just three months ago, Anthony V. Carbonetti, Mr. Giuliani’s affable senior policy adviser, surveyed that field and told The New York Observer: “I don’t believe this can be taken from us. Now that I have that locked up, I can go do battle elsewhere.”

In fact, Mr. Giuliani’s campaign was about to begin a free-fall so precipitous as to be breathtaking. Mr. Giuliani finished third in the Florida primary on Tuesday night; only a few months earlier, he had talked about the state as his leaping-off point to winning the nomination...

...The more that Republican voters saw of him, the less they wanted to vote for him.

It's icing on the cake to see his equally self-entitled wife, Judith Nathan, who surely had pretensions to First Lady in keeping with her reported Queen-like tendencies, accompany him on the fall. Her face has actually fallen, clearly struggling to endure while Rudy is all triggerish bonhomie, with that crazyman laugh of his. She and his habit of charging his adultery with her to city agencies is surely responsible for much of his freefall. Let Tom Brokaw explain it to you as he explains all of Rudy's baggage to the once-fawning Chris Matthews.

Per Joe Biden, all Rudy really campaigned on was "A noun, a verb and 9/11." He was dubbed by the media, "America's Mayor" for his calm demeanor during that fateful day while George Bush ran like a frightened mouse and President Cheney was about to shoot more planes out of the sky. But so many of the casualties in 9/11 might have been escaped had Rudy not made his selfish decision to locate the anti-attack command and control center under the World Trade Center -- the one structure on American soil that had ever previously been attacked by foreign terrorists.

America's Mayor? Maybe if you repeat it enough times:



Toodles, Rudles.
