What is a sentence like this doing in a national news article on Rudy Giuliani's Iowa campaigning? Reporter Jill Lawrence writes:

Suffice it to say Republicans have never had a presidential candidate like this — half Woody Allen, half Rambo and 100% cerebral.

Via Media Matters which is tracking the media's reporting on Giuliani (and others).

Ms. Lawrence is also in need of a reality check.

    How about this... (5.00 / 1) (#2)

    from the same article...

    "On a trip here last week, Giuliani, 63, was thanked time and again for his leadership after the 9/11 attacks and almost as often for making New York a livable city."

    Talk about fawning, and this is in New Hampshire.

    My entry would be that Rudy is half-Mussolini, half-Ferengi, and all weasel.

    I want to apologize... (none / 0) (#6)

    she's just faithfully toeing the party line, with respect to "saint rudy of the pit".

    i wonder if his woody allen half dated his g/f's adopted, 18 year-old daughter? or, would she only have been 9?

    Cerebral compared to who? (none / 0) (#3)

    It doesn't take very much to impress Jill Lawrence apparently.
