McCain Catches Giuliani

Bread and Circuses: "McCain Catches Giuliani

In the latest national poll, Sen. John McCain has caught up with former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani as the first choice of Republicans, with each garnering support among 25% of Republicans. Which is no real surprise, since Giuliani has spent the last several years cashing fat checks for giving speeches to corporate fat cats, while Senator McCain is trying to put an end to US government torture. One of them seems just a little more public service-oriented than the other. What’s perhaps more striking is that if Giuliani wisely elects not to run, McCain would be a big frontrunner, but in solid second place is...Newt Gingrich. Yes, you read that right. The disgraced former Speaker of the US House, who arranged to have President Clinton impeached for having sex with an intern while at the same time the Speaker was paying a woman he was having sex with (which would make her...?), is apparently regarded as a serious contender for the Republican nomination for President.

Republicans only believe in morality, apparently, when it comes to judging others' behavior."
