The interview was way too short, so it ended with Giuliani asking Ingraham if she would ask him about the war on terror next time he’s on, saying that’s what citizens most frequently ask him about. She ended with: “conservatives are citizens too.”

Most of the interview centered on abortion. When she asked why he gave to Planned Parenthood if he “hates abortion,” he said “Life is tremendously important. So is personal liberty.”

The mayor said he would support the Mexico City policy, after Laura explained what it is. I’m surprised he doesn’t get himself crash-coursed on this so he is on top of it and sounds like it. He uses Deroy’s adoption up/abortion down argument but he doesn’t know the numbers. It helps a candidate, persuasion-wise, to know his own record.

By the way, Rich’s column today is on Rudy’s insincerity problem on this issue — odds are he doesn’t really care about abortion, so the “hate” rings awkward.
