Please read all of this rather disturbing article. Professor Hill, the foreign policy adviser it discusses, seems to be saying a lot of negative things about the Bush foreign policy that sound a great deal like what the DemonRats are saying. Then, about three quarters of the way through, there's this gem:

Hill, a former aide to U.N. Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali, leads a 60- to 70-person team of regional and issue experts who offer analysis and advice to the campaign, but Hill is the only member of the group with a direct line to Giuliani.

I have read all that I can without barfing all over my new computer.

I repeat this election cycle is getting wackier and wackier.

Giuliani's hatchet man is at work carving up his own president in order to put some distance between himself and Bush.

This tells me that Giuliani will be an appeaser when it comes to what other countries think.

Hill also disputes the notion that the former mayor’s policy toward the world will be aggressive or particularly unilateral as some critics fear, despite Giuliani’s vow to keep the U.S. on "offense" against terrorists.

Isn't that what most Freepers are concerned about?

So, if that is the key reason that Ron Paul is rejected, why isn't the same reason that Rudy G. is accepted?

Oh this is just such a positive for his campaign, quite the international gadfly. The moderate one issue elites all swoon in unison.

My take on this is that if you can’t find anything the presidential candidate has said that is contentious and might upset his supporters, find a remark by someone on the candidates staff who said something that you can then link to the candidate by implying that the remark reflects the candidates views. It’s called “guilt by association” and is a time tested MSM technique.

I'm waiting for the headline and story...

"Key giuliani adviser ADMITS TO FAKING PHONE CALL FROM rudy's "WIFE", DURING rudy's SPEECH TO THE NRA, TO TRY AND KEEP rudy FROM LOOKING STUPID DURING HIS BUMBLING ATTEMPT AT QUOTING THE WORDS OF THE 2ND AMENDMENT".

The adviser went on to say, "What do you expect? rudy doesn't KNOW the words of the 2nd, because he DOESN'T GIVE A SH*T about that archaic amendment, which he thinks is unecessary in today's modern world!".

Hill is a conservative realist, former Reagan diplomat, and not at all like any Democrat. Read this recent interview he did with Human Events.

He appears to be less sanguine about “democratizing” the middle east than some of Bush’s advisors, which I think is a good thing.

What about the Giuliani foreign policy mistakes? Giuliani sent his mob crew to Iraq. Kerik totally dropped the ball on his responsiblity to train the Iraqi police. Then again Kerik’s mission might been related less to Iraqi’s law enforcement more to his crime ring.

Any of you see this one yet?


Judith Regan Sues Murdoch Empire

Publisher claims firing done to protect Giuliani presidential bid

NOVEMBER 13--Judith Regan, the volcanic publishing industry figure who sought to publish O.J. Simpson's "I Did It" (and trysted with Bernard Kerik in an apartment overlooking Ground Zero) today sued Rupert Murdoch's media conglomerate for defamation, claiming that she was unjustly tarred as an anti-Semite when fired last year. In a blistering $100 million lawsuit filed today in New York State Supreme Court, Regan, 54, accuses several defendants, including Murdoch's News Corporation and HarperCollins Publishers, of orchestrating a smear campaign that was intended to advance the Murdoch political agenda and protect "Rudy Giuliani's presidential ambitions." According to Regan, Murdoch employees were aware of her personal relationship with Kerik and, fearing she had damaging information on Giuliani's former police commissioner and business partner, "knew they would be protecting Giuliani if they could preemptively discredit her." The Murdoch firms did this, Regan charges, by claiming she made anti-Semitic statements during a phone conversation with a HarperCollins lawyer. However, the ousted editor alleges, the offensive statements were never made-an assertion she says is backed up by a temporary secretary who listened in on the call in question. An excerpt from Regan's sprawling 72-page complaint (which even quotes from the tawdry sex suit once filed against Fox News Channel star Bill O'Reilly) can be found below. The entire lawsuit, in a PDF form, can be downloaded here. (4 pages)

Judith Regan Sues Murdoch Empire - November 13, 2007


Murdoch favors Hitlery and is going to throw a big fundraiser for her. Rudi is his backup plan.

I haven't seen a thread on this yet at FR. I thought one of you might have more info to add to this to kind of flesh it out. I think it's up on DrudgeReport now too.
