Rudy Ditches His Comb-Over

Meet the new Rudy -- the silly comb-over is gone. And he's trying out a new personality.

Mr. Giuliani laughs, he gestures expansively, he even pokes fun at his tendency to wax a wee bit authoritarian. (He suggests a touch of the cane was necessary to impose discipline on that liberal asylum known as New York.) He shakes hands with reporters he once viewed as “jerky” and assures them he is fine with tough questions about abortion, where he has settled on a position supporting a woman’s right to choose, and about gun control, where is he at least halfway into a policy back-flip.

Expect the next change to be to his wardrobe.

He dresses in the one-size-too-large suits he has favored since his days as a federal prosecutor, with the top shirt button fastened and tie knotted tight. It is difficult to imagine anyone asking him a “really dopey” (two favorite Giuliani words now in abeyance) question about his favored style in underwear, as someone once did of Bill Clinton.

Thank goodness only Judi has to see him in his underwear.

    The amusing comb-over was the only thing about Rudy that made me smile.  What on Earth is the point of him now?
