I still think that the debacle is a foolish one. I doubt, for example, that Bloomberg could come up with 29 free hours between now and Christmas. These sorts of jobs are too complex (I was once a speech writer in Canada for some provincial ministers, and even their time was staggeringly precious). You ever seen the last Pope's schedule? Some of it was blocked out in 15 second increments--his staff knew how long it took him to walk down a corridor and planned accordingly.

Guiliani used a poor choice of words and accidentally slapped rescue workers in the face. The general public will not care. Of course, it would be nice if they would care, as we are going to face either him or Thompson and it would be nice to face someone we could beat more easily. I don't think it's going to happen unless the Repuke right wing are more successful, but as they've been so comprehensively discredited, I don't think that's going to happen, freep notwithstanding.
