Another Republican Hopeful

Last night I saw “Charlie Wilson’s War.” Fun movie. Cryptic. The book was a compelling read and the story is a amazing. Foreign policy driven by alcoholics and idiots. We might be better off today if we had more alcoholics in Congress and they screwed around more. Oh…they do screw around….except now its with young boys rather than Charlie’s Angels and assorted bimbos.

Rudy Giuliani is sick. No, not sick, but ill. Must have been a pretty bad case of the flu to turn the plane around in mid-air and head back to the airport and hence to the emergency room. My suspicion is that they suspected he was having a stroke, or an aneurysm. He doesn’t look to be in very good shape. He looks overweight and soft. There is more to this story. Running for national political office is a marathon. You have to be in very good shape to endure the rigors of a campaign.

Giuliani was mentioned in the movie. He was investigating the alleged drug use of Charlie Wilson while he was at the Department of Justice in the early Reagan administration. Nothing came of the investigation. I do like the way it painted Giuliani as a spoiler of good times. He is a classic double-standard type of guy. There is evidence of that in every aspect of his life.
