The Old One, Two Combination
I really wish Guiliani had been well enough to have run against Hillary Clinton for the Senate seat in New York well over half a dozen years ago. He seems to be the only Republican candidate who is swinging back at the disgraceful treatment General Petraeus received from the left this past week.
First Giuliani runs this ad in the NYT (but not at the discounted rate the Times gave MoveOn.org):
(NYT stock hit a new low yesterday, below $20) That Pinch is sure one savvy newspaperman.
Then he has a pretty good 'shot across the bow' campaign ad.
See post above.The Clinton response, through her myrmidons, has so far been weak: It's hardly surprising that Mayor Giuliani is running the first negative ad of the '08 campaign, given his inability to justify his unqualified support for President Bush's failed Iraq strategy.
Wow, what a comeback! "failed Iraq strategy" I guess they weren't listening at all to Gen. Petraeus and Amb. Crocker.
There's more: He'd love nothing more than for her or members of her campaign to respond in an agitated way to what is clearly at best a very dubious linkage between what Moveon does and what Hillary Clinton says.
Me? I settle for an unagitated explanation why Clinton called Petraeus a liar, without using the word liar.
Drudge's headline is: "It's On!" If this is the best the Clinton camp can do, please let that be true.
