Rudy Giuliani has released his own Christmas ad – in which he, Huckabee-like, sits in front of a Christmas tree wearing a red sweater.  Only he has a tie on underneath the sweater and says his holiday wish is for “peace through strength.”  And then the camera pulls out for a hokey joke.  The script:

MAYOR GIULIANI: “There are many things I wish for this holiday season. I wish for peace with strength. Secure borders. A government that spends less than it takes in. Lower taxes for our businesses and families.  And I really hope, that all of the presidential candidates can just get along.
 
SANTA CLAUS: “Ho, ho, ho, ho.  I was with you right up until that last one.  Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.”
 
MAYOR GIULIANI: “Can’t have everything! I’m Rudy Giuliani and I approved this message.  Merry Christmas!  Happy Holidays!”
