LET'S NOT FORGET, RUDY IS TOTALLY NUTS.

Just in case you weren't convinced, he refused to say yesterday whether he'd pardon Bernard Kerik, his mobbed-up and now freshly indicted former police commissioner. This is not only crazy on a policy level (what possible justification could there be for a pardon?), it's crazy on a political level, too -- for obvious reasons. It underscores, once again, just how delusional and egocentric he is. His egomania is one major reason why he'd almost certainly be our worst president ever, and one reason why I don't think he'd be as formidable a candidate as some people think. He's just too out of touch with reality to be an effective candidate much of the time.

Fun fact learned while researching this post: Giuliani's campaign has recruited his law partner Marc Mukasey, son of our shiny new Attorney General Michael Mukasey, to prevent Kerik's defense team from interviewing witnesses that might hurt his campaign.

COMMENTS

I remember this from when I was a kid back durng the 1964 Johnson-Goldwater race.

GoldWater's slogan was: "In your heart, you know he's right."

We little Democrats (and some little Republicans, too) used to mock it saying, "In your guts you know he's nuts."

I think this little saying needs to be revived to be used on Rudy.
