Rudy Giuliani will be giving the keynote address tonight at thr GOP convention. Based on his embarassing performance four years ago, we can only imagine what he might say this year.
Four years ago, he compared George W. Bush to Chruchill. Perhaps this year he’ll tell us with conviction that Sarah Palin, due to her experience running the Alaska National Guard, is the next Margaret Thatcher.
Four years ago, he said, “Thank God George Bush is our President.” Not stopping there, he added “thank God for Dick Cheney” as well. He recounted saying this to his trusted friend, Bernard Kerik. Yeah, the same guy who got indicted and helped to sink Giuliani’s doomed campaign for president.
Giuliani proved during the primaries that he’s a buffoon. He’s a good speaker, and he’s great at delivering the canned attack lines and simplistic arguments trumped up by the GOP, but he’s lost all credibility. Unfortunately, the press still treats him like a hero, and rarely calls him on his bullshit. I’m sure they’ll be fawning tonight.
