The most dangerous place in the World is in between Rudy Giuliani and a video camera.
But, Rudy Haskell would like for you all to know that you are fortunate. How so?
Giuliani lashed himself closely to President Bush's war policies -- saying ``we're very fortunate to have President Bush''
Why yes. Don't you think that a war that has cost billions and was started on false premises is good? Don't you think that $8.7 trillion in debt is fortunate?
If you don't, you must be some sort of ingrate, at least in the eyes of Rudy Haskell.

Rudy Haskell?
Well, isn't it a nice way of saying that Rudy is the "kissup" of the Republican field?
Rudy's probably the only person who could claim to be a strong leader with a straight face while trying to follow Bush's coattails.
The Republican field is a field which is wide open.
None of the candidates from 2000 are running, for one thing. Steve Forbes is gone, Alan Keyes is gone, Gary Bauer is gone, John McCain disappeared off the face of the earth two years ago, and Dick Cheney won't run.
The field for 2008 is a field with two flaws for every strength.
Rudy Giuliani is the ultimate kissup. When he was mayor of New York, he was liberal enough to lure enough Democrats to his side. When he's the GOP candidate, he's running as the heir to Bush.
John McCain is a candidate without much of a history. While a previous candidate named John McCain condemned Jerry Falwell and supported 'straight talking', this new John McCain supports Falwell and is a poodle for Bush. I can't figure out how or why this new John McCain looks exactly like the old John McCain.
But, it's easier to assume that some McCain android was built than to assume that John McCain is a huge sellout who'll do anything to win. After all, that's being mean to John, because he only sold out on all of the things he mentioned in 2000 (and some other things), but he's still the same man that he's always been.
Mitt Romney is exciting as day old toast.
Sam Brownback jumped on the wrong wagon on the Iraq escalation, and will probably not end up getting forgiven.
Newt Gingrich? Whaaa? Newt Gingrich? Don't talk about-- Gingrich? You kidding me? Gingrich?
With a field like that, it's not hard to see the opportunity for someone like Rudy Haskell or for Senator McCainBot V4.1
Ultimately, Rudy Haskell is just a moderate who wants you to know how fortunate you are to have Bush, and he's also somehow a strong leader.
Don't ask me how that works. It's contradictory. But don't expect any media figures to ask why "Moderate" Rudy Haskell is such a kissup to Bush.
Just know that Rudy Giuliani doesn't change, he just tries to kissup to anybody who stands in the way of him having a job.
