I don’t know about you, but I miss Rudy

I saw something the other day about Rudy Giuliani trying to boost John McCain’s presidential candidacy (lots of luck with that stuff, pal), and it reminded me of how I sometimes miss Rudy’s insanely incessant invocations of Sept. 11.
Through the magic of YouTube, however, we’ll always have mementoes like these:

Pat, I think this headline is misleading and the the post fails to capture the real meaning. You should have said something to the effect of “I miss Rudy…because he would have been a better candidate than these two and he would have been a great president”.

Leatherneck: Rudy Giuliani “would have been a great president”? And you’re serious, aren’t you?

Absolutely. Let me put aside the \\"tough on terrorism\\" stuff for a minute because that is dwelling on the obvious. Rudy would have had a sensible economic and fiscal policy, and he was socially moderate enough to be acceptable. So yes, he would have taken the fight to the terrorists goes without saying, but he would have he was smart man, a \\"policy wonk\\" if you will. So we would have had a decent domestic policy and he would have picked good judges. Hell, what more do you want? A recent post talked about bringing back Harry Truman. Well I tell you, if you want another Truman, someone with backbone, Rudy G would have fit the bill. So yes, it is a damn shame that his candidacy never got off the blocks.
