Rudy says Bush right to pick Dick


And then there is Rudy.

It is one of the signs that there really may be “two Americas”, or that there really is a significant “middle America” that I simply don’t understand.

Mr. Giuliani told ETV that Mr. Bush’s selection of Mr. Cheney was a good model, calling it “a good example of picking someone who is qualified to be president of the United States.”

“That is No. 1,” he said. “It’s paramount.”

Katherine Q. Seelye’s entry at The Caucus describes Hizzoner’s appearance on South Carolina public television. Unpaid Stranger intern Ryan S. Jackson’s entry at Slog is more entertaining. Neither are particularly informative, but I’ll blame that on Giuliani.

Except there was this gem.

Dick Cheney. A good model of what a vice-president should be. Who can’t even decide what branch of government he’s part of.

Okay. Thanks, Rudy. Good to know.
