Former NYC mayor, Rudy Giuliani is all over the news today. Leading off all the morning shows and newspapers are excerpts from the Barbara Walters/20/20 television interview which airs tonight at 10:00pm. Those of us on the call will be able to watch the interview in its entirety online, after the show airs.
Also in the news, is Rudy's recent testimony to a grand jury, investigating charges of mob corruption and bribery of the former mayor's Police Commissioner, Bernard Kerik.
I've been saying for over a month that Rudy has too many skeletons in his closet to be a viable Presidential candidate. Ironically, most of the Press corp and city hall insiders know of these skeletons, but I believe they have remained under wraps because Rudy truly is a powerful fearless man (after all, he went after the mob) and he did accomplish a great many positive things for our city.
So, we'll see how much dirt comes out this weekend and how the Giulianis handle it. Polls so far, without the news of his political indiscressions, shows that he leads McCain by almost 15 pts in the polls. We'll see if Jon's political assesments are right in the end, and that America doesn't care about a candidate's marriage or family.

The NY Times, i.m.h.o., is grasping at straws in their attempts to crucify him.

(Insert snark about kvetching here.)
