The Pendragon's Hall

Rudy Giuliani is reminding me more and more of Howard Dean. Not only is his arrogance increasing by leaps and bounds, but he is now out to identify himself with the strangest of Bible stories. Nailed for his disgusting personal life, Giuliani whined that people who point out his personal foibles are just like the people who wanted to stone the woman caught in adultery, to whom Jesus said, "He who is without sin cast the first stone." Remember how Dean was persecuted like Jesus and he felt like Job when people criticized him? Giuliani, of course, conveniently forgets to mention that Jesus then told the woman to go and sin no more. How many divorces is that now? Can Republicans risk, especially if the Democrats retain control of Congress, having a president go through a messy divorce? Won't the Clintonistas point out that we impeached Clinton "for sex" and begin impeachment proceedings? And who can blame them? The prospect of a Giuliani presidency actually makes the Pendragon long for a return to the Clinton days. At least then I wouldn't be expected to be on the same side as the scumbag.

But they seem to be all the same these days. Fred Thompson was asked if it was harder to be president or to play a president on TV. An idiot question from the media, considering Thompson has only ever done either, but whatever. His response: "Neither one is that hard." Wonderful. He announces his candidacy with a few jokes on Lenno and now we learn that he expects the presidency to be a breeze. He is not fit to be president and he joins the lengthening list of Republican presidential candidates the Pendragon will never endorse, vote for, or support in any other way. John McCain has sold out the Republican party one too many times. Giuliani is worse than the Democrats. Ron Paul and Tom Tancredo are ignoramuses. I am still constantly told that an evangelical Christian cannot support a Mormon for president, on what basis I do not know, but Mitt Romney seems to be the only one currently in the race that I can even consider casting a vote for. If he is out before the New York primary, I will support Mike Huckabee, a no-name candidate going nowhere. Or, I may, gasp, support a Newt Gingrich candidacy after all. He's got the record to give Clinton a run for her money.

The Democrats are no better. Hillary is campaigning on Ellen Degeneres' show and promising socialist health care if elected. HillaryCare was rejected by Democrats, leading to the Republican congressional takeover in 1994. John Edwards is a vain pretty boy with thin skin and Barack Obama is shamelessly exploiting the race card, while being unaware that our neighbor to the north is governed by a prime minister, not a president. Richardson has good credentials but no chance of going anywhere. Snoopy for President in 2008.
