"Russert--accuse[d] rudy of putting lipstick ona pig when referring to our party platform--what an a-hole Russert has become."
I loved Rudy's rejoinder: "Am I the lipstick or the pig?"
Too bad Russert didn't answer. The correct answer is: "lipstick". The metaphor is, morality is a pig(morality that opposes killing babies and calling homosexual perversion "marriage"). Rudy, since he supports these social issues (and Schwarzenegger too) are the lipstick.
Rudy did a fine job supporting the President and giving rational answers to very biased questions. Unless the Republican party moves far to the left, or abandons its Christian supporters, I don't see how Pataki or Guilianni can become the Republican nominee in 2008. They might be a VP.
I think the best nominee in 2008 would be Jeb Bush. Tommy Thompson might be #2.
That's the whole game right now who will it be?
