Rudy has quickly evolved into the scariest presidential prospect for me. An accomplishment since he began as the goofy SNL cross-dresser. For a short while, I thought "A decent Republican? He was elected in NYC."

Now, he has the craziest group of foreign policy adisors, too. (see Josh Marshall: http://talkingpointsmemo.com/...

Now, thanks to some great reporting from the Nation's Ari Berman, I'm now terrified of the prospect.
