What's that old Tom Petty song again? Oh yeah—Free-fallin'!
Too many lead weights in a fella's pockets makes it awfully hard for him to not fall the hell down.
And our dear friend Rudolph's got more lead weights on him than anybody we know. Thus...a yippee-ki-yay-motherfucker moment—via TPM:
In a sign that his campaign in New Hampshire could be flagging, Rudy Giuliani has been significantly scaling back his ad buys in the state. Records show that numerous ad buys in the Boston TV stations have either been cut by more than half, or cancelled entirely.
The campaign has kept up its buys in the much cheaper WMUR in Manchester, where Rudy has a strong base of support thanks in part to the mayor's endorsement — so Rudy might be going trying for a decent second or third through a strong, concentrated showing there. And the campaign is shifting its resources to Florida, where Rudy is also sinking fast.
As Giuliani plummets to the ghetto of single digit-ville support in Iowa, backslides to third place in South Carolina (where he led until a week or so ago) and now has fallen behind in Florida, in spite of heavily-touted northeastern “snowbird” support, there are many out there who seem surprised at his seemingly sudden “Man Who Fell To Earth” routine.
If you read this blog, you shouldn't be amongst that group. Giuliani's over-stuffed American Touristers full of campaign-killing dirty-dealing were going to be a huge problem for him the moment the press' equivalent of airport X-rays got through looking at him even a little bit. And a mere hard week's worth of digging on their parts was that little bit—albeit way too much for Rudy's glass Xmas ornament-tough campaign to handle.
He is merely the most morally and ethically compromised candidate of ALL of the GOP's choices—and that's one hell of a thing when you consider how damaaged they all are. Giuliani was living on borrowed time to begin with. In choosing between the lessers, Beelzebub, Mephistopheles, Lucifer, and The Anti-Christ, Giuliani's P.R. savvy Satan got a bit of a free ride for a while. But as the saying goes, “The devil is in the details.“. Rudy's details, oozing from within, and showing on his very skin like sweat are slimy and putrid indeed.
And no matter how tough, or how hardcore you may appear , no one wants to be around you when you sweat and smell.
Even the odious-himself Bill Kristol can't stand Rudy's ammonia-strong funk:
“What's the agenda for the Giuliani presidency? So I think he made it all about himself, about his record, but when you make it about yourself, it's also about other aspects of your past—and that stuff's emerged that much more, and I think a lot of Republicans look up and say 'Look he's a good mayor, he did well on 9-11, but why should we make him President?”
When FOX News'—“The Official Network of Rudy 'Razor-Lips' Giuliani”—main Sunday pundit puts pennies on Rudy's eyes...kiddies...he's a free-fallin' in a major way.
Is there any lead left in his pencil at all?
Doesn't look very good right now, does it?
Yippee-Ki-Yay-Motherfucker.
