There's a dearth of real celebrities willing to associate with Trump, so they've reached to the C list and back in time. They are trotting out Rudy Giuliani.
Newt Gingrich today told Sean Hannity he hoped Trump makes Rudy Giuliani Secretary of Homeland Security. Hanity's next guest was none other than Bernie Kerik, Giuliani's police chief whose world came crashing down after Bush nominated him for Homeland Security chief without vetting him and he had to withdraw from consideration, Rudy Giuliani dropped him like a hot potato and he ended up with a four year prison sentence after pleading guilty to criminal charges. He's out now, and commenting on gun laws and security issues. I suspect we'll be hearing from Mark Furman soon.
Hannity, Fox and Republicans love anything law and order, no matter how they misused their positions. All day they called the murder of local police "assassinations." and belittled Obama's comments about disparity in the criminal justice system. As if life is like an episode of Law and Order where the cops can do no wrong.
Not for me. I'd much rather watch the gran finale of Senor de los Cielos -- at 8, 9 and 11 pm -- than listen to a bunch of has-been, fact-challenged Republicans spout statistics they pull from a hat.
Also today, according to the captivate gizmo in my office elevator, Gingrich called Jeb Bush and his family "sore losers" for not attending the convention. I also heard him tell Hannity Hillary is the most corrupt politician of all time and Chris Christie should be made Attorney General. Is Newt holding out for Secretary of State?
Here's a thread for Thump, the convention and Cleveland. Please put any comments on police killings or whether we need gun control in an open thread, unless they reference remarks made at the convention.
