Rudy, ribs and Iran

Well, as controversy increasingly swirls around New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and his presidential candidacy, The Oklahoman does a usual bang-up job on missing the obvious questions.

Instead, the Sooner State's paper of record simply reported bland comments by patrons at Earl's Rib Palace in Oklahoma City and Rudy's own talking points. And not surprisingly, Rudy made much of New York's connection to Oklahoma via the fact that both places experienced terror attacks. In between gulping down ribs, Rudy makes sure the folks know he's a tough guy, a New Yawkah' who, if elected, will put those Iranians in their place.

Writes Okie reporter Michael McNutt:

"Iran has to realize that we're not going to allow them to get nuclear weapons," Giuliani said.

Giuliani's stand on social issues, such as supporting abortion rights and gun control, are contrary to most conservatives, including many Oklahomans, critics say.
"I am who I am,” he said. "I'm not going to pretend to be somebody else. And then people have to evaluate the whole thing, what are the most important things, what are the most important issues.
"If they agree with me on most of the things ... then they should consider voting for me,” he said.

Yeah. Sure. And what of your advanced knowledge of the 9/11 terror attacks and the mysterious implosion of your mayoral command center in WTC 7 on that fateful day?

Not a word.

And do we want this guy's third wife involved in Cabinet decisions? Hell no!
