The Smoking Gun has got its hot little hands on the confidential report from his campaign.

2. The oppo-researcher in me just got a huge chubby!

:woohoo:

3. There's a whole lot of material there to go through!

I think they may try to run Rudy — conveniently overlooking his problems for the ultra-righties — because they have no other candidates to excite anyone. They might try to slide over his "pre-9/11" history.

6. This could be a repeat of 2000

When quite a few GOP mouthpieces got quiet about things like drug use, serving in the National Guard, business failures etc because they so so wanted a win.

14. LOL! If Rudy hadn't told us it was a painting of the Virgin Mary, no one could

ever tell!

9. As mayor he was proud of the fact he never shook a black person's hand

who was a political leader. Yup, he actually bragged that he got through his first five years without meeting with a single black political leader.

It's not that he's vulnerable to the perception of being a racist. It's that he's an out and out proud Klan level racist, and on record saying so many times.

10. I think this is pertinent in today's political environment

13. Too much rouge?
