I wonder why they don't have an article on George W. Bush

In one of the articles they say that GW is an otherwise nice guy, but is guided by a dick.

Pun intended, I'm sure.

Seems like Rudy's tanking pretty hard as he's bypassed even trying to compete in the first few primaries and has set up camp in Florida to win that state.

Unfortunately, however, it seems his New Hampshire Veterans for Rudy co-chair is helping Rudy's goal out with those first primaries by essentially torching the bridge:

Rudy Campaign Official: He's The Guy To Chase "The Muslims" Back "To Their Caves"
By Greg Sargent - December 28, 2007, 2:36PM

This has already gotten some attention, but it deserves a lot more.

The Guardian of London is conducting video documentaries up in New Hampshire. And they did a segment on Rudy in which they got a very off-kilter quote about Muslims from a Rudy campaign official in the state. The Guardian identifies him as John Deady, the co-chair of state Veterans for Rudy.

Deady -- and the key here is that he is a Rudy campaign official -- says that Rudy should be our President because he has what it takes to tackle one of our "most difficult problems," which he identifies as the "rise of the Muslims." Deady adds that we need to "chase them back to their caves" or otherwise "get rid of them."

Take a look at our video excerpt of The Guardian's vid:

Here's the quote:

quote:
"He's got I believe the knowledge and the judgement to attack one of the most difficult problems in current history and that is the rise of the Muslims, and make no mistake about it, this hasn't happened for a thousand years. These people are very dedicated and they're also very very smart in their own way. We need to keep the feet to the fire and keep pressing these people until we defeat or chase them back to their caves or in other words get rid of them."

Now, it's very clear here that this Rudy campaign official, who hasn't yet returned our call, is talking about the rise of Muslims in general, not about terrorists or Islamofascists or what have you. After all, he says that this problem hasn't happened "for a thousand years."

Also note the reference to chasing them "back to their caves," not to mention the outright call for getting "rid" of them -- them being, again, the Muslims.

Any chance the national press will see this as newsworthy?

The Rudy campaign didn't immediately return a request for comment. You can watch the whole video from The Guardian here:

Iowa caucuses in the US are tomorrow... let the games begin.

Some predictions:

3. HRC
4. Biden
5. Richardson

1. Huckabee
2. Romney
3. McCain
4. Thompson
5. Paul
6. Giuliani

New Hampshire -
1. Obama
2. HRC
3. Edwards
4. Richardson
5. Dodd

1. McCain
2. Romney
3. Huckabee
4. Paul
5. Giuliani

Final -
1. Obama
2. HRC

1. McCain
2. Huckabee
3. Romney

I've never seen a campaign fall apart like Giuliani's did. Then again, I'm not that old, but still.

Giuliani sucked balls though. I knew he wasn't shit but a coat rider from the get go.
