Kathryn, so to wrap this up, in criticizing Rudy, you would be more effective to focus on his actual shortcomings: egotism, mania, does not play well with others, would marry gay fetuses then abort them, etc., etc.–all of it true. But to imply that he is “all hype”–especially compared with GeorgeAllenBillOwensMittRomneyJohnMcCain and all the other bland voids he would be running against (McCain is a hero as to biography, a bland void as to career)–is simply false.
