The foam-flecked frenzy of an angry sock puppet
Giuliani is by far the most formidable, and most dangerous, Republican candidate...

So says Glenn Greenwald, who seems not to like Rudy Giuliani very much:

As this excellent and comprehensive article documents, Giuliani is an "authoritarian narcissist" -- plagued by an unrestrained prosecutor's mentality -- who loves coercive government power (especially when vested in his hands) and hates dissent above all else. He would make George Bush look like an ardent lover of constitutional liberties. He is probably the absolute worst and most dangerous successor to George Bush under the circumstances, but his political talents and prospects for winning are being severely underestimated.
Hmmm....

Reading through the above carefully, I get the impression Greenwald thinks he has found his new calling. While he sounds especially irate about Giuliani dressing in drag (discussed infra), I think the real problem is that he thinks Rudy can beat Hillary.

I have a feeling this may be why Greenwald has moved onward and upward to join the Hillary forces at Salon.com!

Sheesh.

No one's even been nominated, but it already feels like an election.

And it's not too early to diagnose a clear case of Giuliani Derangement Syndrome!

If Giuliani does indeed love "coercive government power" (is there any other kind?), then he has a lot in common with "liberals" and they should be very happy with him

I think they've hated him for years. First he cleaned up New York, and then there was his performance in the wake of 9/11.

Ever since Giuliani rejected Christ Piss art funding to the Brooklyn Museum the insane nutters deemed him Hilter long before Bush entered the White House.

That said, much like the Foley affair I'm fairly confident the nutters will somehow use Giuliani's time living with gay friends as a way to represent just how decadent are Republicans.
