My friend, Cody checks in tonight from the Land of 10,000 Lakes with a kick-in-the-nuts to the Giuliani campaign out of Rolling Stone magazine's Matt Taibbi.
I've posted many times here, as have others, with bewilderment at how Giuliani gets away with the macho routine surrounding the 9-11 attacks. The man did nothing to halt the attacks, but there's no coherent argument we can make about what he should have done on that front.
At the very least, there's controversy around the wisdom of his decision to put his disaster command center in the same structure that had already been attacked by terrorists a few years earlier rather than opting for the less-visible Brooklyn.
He looked good in the photo ops and probably did calm down people a hell of a lot more than old Deer-in-the-Headlights was doing from the Oval, but at the end of the day, it's an empty suit.
Tabbai's article is scathing and well-written. He cuts into Rudy's years as a prosecutor, mayor, presidential candidate and that little in-between period when he was a high paid lobbyist and public speaker.
I recommend it for anyone wondering what Rudy's odds are in the primaries and a potential general election.

In his years as mayor -- and his subsequent career as a lobbyist -- Rudy jumped into bed with anyone who could afford a rubber. Saudi Arabia, Rupert Murdoch, tobacco interests, pharmaceutical companies, private prisons, Bechtel, ChevronTexaco -- Giuliani took money from them all.
I recommend it for anyone wondering what Rudy's odds are in the primaries and a potential general election.
