I'll miss the Rudy ads, anyway

I can't help but kick just a little more dirt on the political grave of America's Profiteer. (By the way, can someone let me know where that grave is, so I can go relieve myself on it?)

Anyway, Giuliani's Reagan fetish knows no bounds. Of all the political ads we will see between now and November, this one has got to make any list of the dumbest of this presidential campaign, and maybe ever.

Ads like the one above have got to be the reason why this jackass will never be president. So, let's get this straight - the Iranian hostages were released an hour after Reagan took office because of anything Reagan did? Riiiight. Reagan did precisely nothing to get them released; the Iranians waited to release the hostages until after Carter left office for no other reason than to make him look bad.

Of course, Giuliani assumes that voters are stupid and lazy and won't check on the facts. Well, those of us who were alive and remember what happened back then know that this line of reasoning is fit for Comedy Central.

I never cease to get a kick out of the lionization of Reagan, either, and last night 9iu11iani didn't disappoint:

Rudy: The party of Lincoln and Reagan and Bush...

Bad-Dum-Bump! Tip your servers!

Well, one out of three ain't bad. As Bill Maher once most sagely noted, the Republican-led Congress renamed National Airport in Washington, D.C. after Reagan so they could say, "I'm coooooming into Reagan!" (And the irony that an airport is named after Reagan at all, after he fired the air-traffic controllers in the early 1980s is, to say the least, ironic.)
