Start Laughing Now: Giuliani Thinking Of Running Again

8:23 am EST January 7th, 2011 | Politics, Republicans | 6 Comments

Rudy Giuliani, whose 2008 campaign for the presidency was a gigantic joke, is supposedly asking around if he should run again.

Genius.

I wasn’t paying attention to politics the way I do now, but the 2012 GOP nomination process is ramping up to be a replay of the 1996 process – a lot of elbowing and whatnot on the right, with the prize being an easy loss to a popular Democratic president. (read Michael Lewis’ great book on this)

Insert snarky comment here about Giuliani lecturing Muslim Americans on knowing the difference between right and wrong and building their mosque…

Rudy Giuliani’s daughter Caroline was busted for shoplifting today at an Upper East Side beauty and skin care shop, police sources said.

The 20-year-old was arrested at a Sephora store near the E. 86th Street home she shares with her mother, Donna Hanover, the television personality and former city first lady, before her bitter split from the tough-on-crime mayor.

Rudy Giuliani Lied On NYC Surplus

7:14 am EST August 25th, 2007 | News | 3 Comments

Again, Republican candidate Rudy Giuliani’s rhetoric doesn’t line up with the reality.

Rudolph W. Giuliani has been broadcasting radio advertisements in Iowa and other states far from the city he once led stating that as mayor of New York, he “turned a $2.3 billion deficit into a multibillion dollar surplus.”

The assertion, which Mr. Giuliani has repeated on the trail as he has promoted his fiscal conservatism, is somewhat misleading, independent fiscal monitors said. In fact, Mr. Giuliani left his successor, Michael R. Bloomberg, with a bigger deficit than the one Mr. Giuliani had to deal with when he arrived in 1994. And that deficit would have been large even if the city had not been attacked on Sept. 11, 2001.

“He inherited a gap, and he left a gap for his successor,” Ronnie Lowenstein, the director of the city’s Independent Budget Office, a nonpartisan agency that monitors the city budget, said of Mr. Giuliani. “The city was budgeting as though the good times were not going to end, but sooner or later they always do.”

Is Giuliani Going To Get Whacked Like Dean?

1:03 am EST August 23rd, 2007 | News | 5 Comments

You may remember in 2003, leading up to Iowa, that Howard Dean was clearly the Democratic frontrunner, and as Gov. Dean later noted – when you’re the frontrunner that’s who everyone is aiming at. The GOP field is beginning to turn it’s guns on Giuliani, on issues like guns and immigration. The other GOP campaigns have apparently concluded that hitting him on his moderate-liberal positions on gays, abortion, etc. won’t work (or more likely, will be used as a last resort) and hit him on conservative issues but not 100% crazy conservative issues.

I advise folks to take all political predictions with a grain of salt, and take mine with a whole silo, but I think you have to be crazy to think that the same religious far-right voters who saw a vote for George W. Bush as a vote for Jesus’s Emmisary On Earth Against The Gay Homosexual Liberal Terrorists will turn out for Rudy Giuliani both in the primary and general election. Rudy’s base is the pro-war wackos and the folks who like in Trickle-Down Fairyland. And while those people may constitute a part of the Republican’s mostly white, mostly male tent – they don’t look like America at all.

That said, I almost look forward to a candidate with as much baggage (corruption, anti-firefighter, racial insensitivity, etc.) being the GOP’s boy versus any of the top-tier Democrats.
