"Obama has a fan in Miss Giuliani" - fine!
The Guardian, 7 August 2007: I had missed this. Maybe you know already.

"The leading Republican for next year's presidential contest, Rudy Giuliani, is having to contend with the embarrassment of discovering his teenage daughter signed up as a supporter of one of the Democratic frontrunners, Barack Obama.
Mr Giuliani, whose family relationships are strained after a messy divorce, is well ahead of his Republican rivals in spite of a series of reports about his personal life.

His children have already signalled they do not intend to campaign for him. But the Slate political website discovered that his daughter, Caroline, 17, went one further and declared herself a member of the Barack Obama (One Million Strong for Barack) group on the social networking website, Facebook.

...

This comes only days after Mr Giuliani's wife, Judith, faced sharp criticism in Vanity Fair, which portrayed her as interfering in the campaign and drawing up a list of aides she wanted fired. The most damaging allegation of all was that she demanded a separate seat on the campaign plane for her Louis Vuitton handbag."

The Guardian, the article: http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,,2143578,00.html?gusrc=rss&feed=networkfront

Obama fans or not, I think this is one thing we may rejoice in.
Indeed the article has a light ironic cut!

Outstanding news about a member of the party of family values.

4. Ain't that the truth.
I'd love to see Donna Hanover (Rudy's ex) stump for the Democratic nominee.

7. Are you saying
one has to be stupid to support george bush? Well, by gosh, I think you are right. And you have to be proud for no apparent reason and a fake patriot and a chickenshit chickenhawk. Yes indeed, bush supporters one and all.
