NY Times Trashes Giuliani, Endorses McCain


The New York Times gives lucky John McCain the liberal kiss of death. We're certain that Senator McCain appreciates the endorsement so very very much. He will be the envy of all his conservative buddies. The Times has absolutely nothing good to say about the other neanderthals, and does a super-fine job of trashing 'vindictive' Rudy Giuliani. Too bad Rudy has no chance of getting the nomination because this is a script killer ads are made of:

The real Mr. Giuliani, whom many New Yorkers came to know and mistrust, is a narrow, obsessively secretive, vindictive man who saw no need to limit police power. Racial polarization was as much a legacy of his tenure as the rebirth of Times Square.

Mr. Giuliani’s arrogance and bad judgment are breathtaking. When he claims fiscal prudence, we remember how he ran through surpluses without a thought to the inevitable downturn and bequeathed huge deficits to his successor. He fired Police Commissioner William Bratton, the architect of the drop in crime, because he couldn’t share the limelight. He later gave the job to Bernard Kerik, who has now been indicted on fraud and corruption charges. The Rudolph Giuliani of 2008 first shamelessly turned the horror of 9/11 into a lucrative business, with a secret client list, then exploited his city’s and the country’s nightmare to promote his presidential campaign.
