PETER PRINCIPLE OF THE CITY (via Kevin Whited):
Can Rudy Get Past the First Date? (Ruth Marcus, March 7, 2007, Washington Post)
Does America's Mayor want to be America's President?Poll after poll suggests that Rudy Giuliani has a serious shot at winning his party's nomination, and therefore the presidency, despite his abortion rights/gay rights/gun control baggage.
But listening to Giuliani's lackluster speech to a conservative group last week, I was not convinced that he craves the job -- or that he has a particular vision of what he'd do if he got it.
Since his entire candidacy is based on handling 9-11 well, couldn't we just make him the Designated National First Responder? Posted by Orrin Judd at March 7, 2007 11:53 AM
Which is the pres.
Posted by: Sandy P at March 7, 2007 3:59 PMA shrieking partisan shrew like Ruth Marcus is hardly someone to post when addressing Rudy Giuliani.
She probably thinks Chuck Hagel is too much a Republican.
Posted by: ratbert at March 7, 2007 4:21 PMYes, Rudy did a good job in his role of helping to cover up the truth of 9/11. Bush owes him a favor or two.

Apparently he overlooked you. You might be getting a visit shortly from a man named Luigi.
Posted by: h-man at March 7, 2007 6:21 PMThe Washington Post newspaper, like the rest of its inside the beltway brethren, is impressed with style - not with substance.
"Bill Clinton was so great, because he made me feel so good." That's the assessment by foggy bottom dwellers, not Monica Lewinsky.
Rudy personifies substance.
