Debbie Schlussel: Giuliani in Drag: Can He Live These Pics Down?
As readers know, I like Rudy Giuliani because of his tough stance against Islamic terrorists. I'm definitely troubled by his past positions on illegal aliens and immigration, but I'm hoping that will change.
Still, Rudy violated the number one rule in politics: Never get your picture taken in funny hats or weird costumes. Only Nancy Reagan successfully did that, as "Secondhand Rose." As for the rest, think John Kerry in a bizarre space suit that looked like a giant condom; think Michael Dukakis in a military helmet riding on the side of a tank.
And now, think Rudy as a Rockette (complete with legs shaven and pantyhose--sorry, only Joe Namath can get away with that) and as Marilyn Monroe. Since the original occupants of the White House wore wigs and silk stockings, maybe Rudy can, too. But I can just imagine the campaign materials. Uh-oh:
