"Goodhelp" wonders: "If successful, wouldn't Rudy be the first person to jump from his first elected position as a city mayor to the office of the President of the United States?" Why, yes he would; what's your point? Wasn't Bill Clinton the first bastard---er, sorry, meant to say "illegitimate..." or whatever word it is knee-jerk ACLU-supporting reactionaries prefer these days---to hold the office of President of the United States? The second to be called "Tricky Dick" (albeit not to his face or in print; just by the women who identified Hisself/described his uniquely shaped "manhood" in depositions). Then "mickrussom" informs us Rudy "oversaw" the---horrific---Albert Louima police brutality case... As if Rudy wielded the business end of a plunger himself (or did he hold the poor man down; which was it? Surely you know, Mick; after all, you know what's on Rudy's family crest, all that stuff about the KBE----thanks for the bit of BRITISH/pip-pip trivia, by the way. Always nice to hear from another Anglophile) By Mick and his ilk's, e.g., blue dog Democrats, "logic"... (1) Louima was tortured by a few NYPD scum, so ALL NYPD officers are scum---or at least they were during the Giuliani administration, ergo (2) All Muslims all scum, because a handful of them bombed the USS Cole---during Clinton's administration, ergo (3) All Middle Easterners are scum, because a dozen+ of them perpetrated the worst terrorist attack on US soil since Pearl Harbor (which of course means that, if ole Mick and his ilk were around then, they agreed with their poster boy FDR that anyone of Japanese heritage was scum, and that sending them all to internment camps was a good idea). Hmmm, I wonder if, say, a kneejerk reactionary was diagnosed with cancer the same time a conservative found the cure for it, would the reactionary cry foul; say the conservative must've stolen the panacea from, oh, I don't know, George Soros?; refuse to accept any treatment that was funded by "Big Oil" (or whatever catchphrase is in vogue at the time)? Actually, I don't wonder; no time. Too busy hating anyone who looks Mexican and all that (goodness, he/she could be plotting La Revolucion!). And since the only good immigrant is a legal one, and there's no way to tell just WHERE these Brownskins allegiances lie by looking at 'em, well...
