Shoot Me, I Agree With Canuck Flying Monkey Right Winger David Frum

David Frum, writing in The New Republic, in yet another example of how that magazine has fallen, actually writes something that I wholeheartedly support, though for very different reasons:

I have my own personal nomination for vice president for McCain. It's Rudy Giuliani, precisely because he shares the vision of a practical, reforming, war-winning Republican Party that inspires John McCain, plus the stronger-than-usual grounds for hoping that he might be the rare candidate who can make a difference in an essential state--in this case, New Jersey.

Simply put, it's been way too long since I've had the opportunity to use the phrase, "Clown Show", but making a your vice-presidential running mate the man who:

• Chose a police commissioner who was mobbed up.
• Who recommended said mobbed up police commissioner to be head of homeland security.
• Who broke up with his wife at a press conference on mothers day
• Whose first wife was his cousin
• Bailed on the Iraq study group so he could get fat speaker fees.
• Lobbyied for unsavory clients, including Saudi Arabia, Tobacco, and Coal.

Would give me plenty of opportunity.

Of course, I can't hope to own him the way that Joe Biden did when he said that when Rudy talks, "there’s only three things he mentions in a sentence: a noun and a verb and 9/11."

That one is one of the classics of the ages, up there with George Bernard Shaw and Winston Churchill.
