Rudy exposed by a surpising source:

[In 1996, Rudy] stepped on the podium at the Kennedy School of Government to deliver a speech on immigration. “I’m pleased to be with you this evening to talk about the anti-immigrant movement in America . . . I believe the anti-immigrant movement in America is one of our most serious public problems. . . . It can be seen in the negative attitudes being expressed by many of the politicians.” . . . At the moment [in 2007], Giuliani and fellow moderate Mitt Romney are attacking each other for being insufficiently Tancredo-esque. . . .

Even the conservative David Brooks recognizes that Rudy Giuliani is as phony as a three dollar bill.

    that trying to sugar coat Rudy will only make him a sugar coated Rudy, and won't make him any easier to swallow.

    His opening line should have read: "Rudy Giuliani can play a little rough at times, but there [were] some moments when an inner light turns on and he [sounded] downright idealistic" till he probably realized he was as transparent as glass to everyone except the 24 percenters.

    Rudy is (1.00 / 0) (#2)

    Giuliani said, somewhat unfairly, that the anti-immigrant movement at that time continued the fear-mongering and discrimination of the nativist movements of the 1920s and the Know-Nothing movement of the 19th century
