Rudy's Populist Message

I missed Rudy Giuliani. He was a source an endless comedy material for this blog. Rudy boldly predicted he would win Florida. The Sarasota County Republican Party moved a Giuliani campaign stop from the Sailor Circus Arena because they (rightfully) feared the candidate could be lampooned."

My two favorite Rudy moments.

Rudy lapping his campaign bus on the Daytona International Speedway. Look closely and you can see Rudy in the bus waving.



Nothing screams presidential then Rudy's infamous Christmas ads. Rudy woos voters by promising Christmas gifts of fruitcakes and strict-constructionist judges. Every family child wants his or her very own Antonin Scalia.



Rudy returns to the political landscape with a message that will lead the GOP out of the political wilderness. Rudy's crafts a message is that will resonate with voters during these difficult economic times. Rudy's message is tax dollars for CEO bonuses is good for the economy.

"If you somehow take that bonus out of the economy, it really will create unemployment," he said on CNN's "American Morning." "It means less spending in restaurants, less spending in department stores, so everything has an impact."

That should play well in middle America.
