Conservative hypocrites - Giuliani

Giuliani is running for President in the "family values party," after not speaking with his son for a year? And, the source of of this "estrangement" is Rudy's divorce of the kid's mother and remarriage?
Mr. Giuliani once prided himself on attending all his children’s events and went to Andrew’s high school football games and Caroline’s plays. But he stopped at some point after his marriage to Ms. Nathan in 2003. He missed his son’s graduation, in 2005, and his daughter’s plays in the last 18 months, said people who attended those events.

There's those family values we can get behind.

Rudy! Rudy! Rudy!

(Last night, I mentioned the more than coincidental timing of the "Obama's family had slaves" story. With the CPAC vote today, I would class this story as equally timed. Politics has become such a nasty business in the interconnected "new media" world. It's so easy to rapidly spread dirt.)

Also: I think it's telling that the NYTimes article on the CPAC conference and the conservative frustration with the "moral values" their candidates begins by talking about a poker game they hold every year. Gambling. How does that leadership behavior go down with the faithful?
