On criteria such as this, I feel I would have to vote for Chuck Norris for president.

Whoop tee doo. Deroy loves Rudy.

[MaestroLC]

Too bad Rudy is not a conservative.

[big'ol_freeper]

Wow. I'm impressed. Rudy can read (or at least look at) literature in low air pressure situations.

You mean Rudy didn't take over the plane and rescue everyone?

In this critical emergency, he just sat on his butt reading?

What kind of leadership is that?

[badpacifist]

He just looked like he was reading ...his mind wondered how he would be judged about abortion, affairs, etc.

[1Old Pro]

UGH, the potential of a Hillary v. Rudy Presidential race reminds me of the definition of LOSE-LOSE.

[Antoninus]

Yeah, a tough guy with a lisp who has a penchant for nylons.

Has America really become *that* metrosexual when a guy like Rudy is portrayed as a "tough guy"?

[commonguymd]

Did he release the recent medical test results he promised after Christmas?

Rudy Giuliani: 2008's toughest Republican

[Clemenza]

Deroy has been shilling for Rudy for two years.

I'm sorry, but a creampuff from Lawn Guyland should be handling divorce cases, not running for president. Getting cops to DO THEIR JOB and arresting squeegee men is common sense, no matter what New Yorkers think.

Besides, Rudy's Podhoretzian insistence on "spreading democracy in the mideast" should have died with the Scoop Jackson Democrats on West End Avenue that are his mentors.

[Night Hides Not]

I was asleep on my couch on a Friday night about 15 years ago. My wife woke me up, screaming that my 3 year old son was choking on a grape that was stuck in his windpipe.

I got up, did a nice, easy Heimlich maneuver on him, and the grape popped out. I then proceeded to return to the couch and resume my nap (after making sure my son was breathing normally, of course).

Instead of a congratulatory remark, my wife was angry at me for reacting as calmly as I did. To this day, I haven't figured out her reaction.

Does this qualify me as a "tough Republican"?

[wastedyears]

Stuff like that would keep me grounded for a while, and probably cause me to cringe every time I hear any aircraft overhead.

[Red in Blue PA]

Okay, I’ll bite. What was he **supposed** to do?

[alicewonders]

Portraying Rudy as “tough” doesn’t do a thing to change the fact that the man publicly cheated on his wife, had taxpayers foot the bill to “protect” his mistress, has trusted and partnered with some “ethically challenged” people, and has views on abortion, guns and gays that most socially conservative people cannot stomach.

Not to mention that he has NO foreign policy experience. I know a lot of tough people - but none of them would make a good President - you need a lot more than that. If his wives and children can’t depend on him - I know I sure as heck can’t.

[Calpernia]

Ummm, yah

this headline needs a laughtrack.

Gov Palin says she has no intent of leaving her present office to run for higher office not even a Giuliani/Palin08 ticket.

This “tough” guy kills babies in the womb.

And he wants me to pay for it with my tax dollars.
