Today's Giuliani dirt

In almost every appearance as he campaigns for the Republican presidential nomination, Rudolph W. cites a fusillade of statistics and facts to make his arguments about his successes in running New York City and the merits of his views.

All of these statements are incomplete, exaggerated or just plain wrong. And while, to be sure, all candidates use misleading statistics from time to time, Mr. Giuliani has made statistics a central part of his candidacy as he campaigns on his record.

Hey, he's a liar! What a shocker. Just consider the six different excuses his campaign has given for his Hamptons tryst accounting brouahah, the last of which is a blame-shifting "it's the cops' fault" defense, which doesn't go well with his "heroic" image as Mr. 9/11.

And before you start in on me for picking on the poor mayor - I do admit I think he's completely batsh*t and a danger to the country, and would like to seem him exit the race, preferably in disgrace - this is his own bed he's made, and now he's got to sleep in it. And there's more on Rudy. The guy is as crooked as the day is long. Which, incidentally, is one of the reasons I think he's unfit for office.
