If Rudy Giuliani's constant evocation of September 11 leaves a latrine-like taste in your mouth, this is for you. Via the Associated Press:
The chairman of the panel that examined the nation's security before September 11 2001 and the aftermath of the terrorist attacks announced Monday he was endorsing John McCain - and not former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani - for president.
Former New Jersey governor Thomas Kean, a Republican like Giuliani and McCain, said the Arizona senator's blend of congressional, military and foreign affairs experience left him the best equipped of the GOP candidates to serve in the White House.
Maybe this will teach Giuliani that presiding over a city attacked by terrorists doesn't provide you with the foreign policy credentials or know-how it will take to defeat al-Qaida or restore America's squandered soft power reserves.
But Giuliani's adoption of this man as a foreign policy adviser should show us all that America's Mayor has not only learned the wrong lessons from Iraq, but that he's destined for a room with a view at Bellevue.
