Rudy Ghouliani, your humongous EGO is showing -- again!
Just what we need after the Shrub -- another mediocre politician with delusions of grandeur.

"During this appearance on the international stage, he was intent on associating himself with two of the most powerful Britons ever to play on it: Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher.

He was not subtle.

The entertainment for the luncheon was billed as a conversation between Giuliani and Celia Sandys, Churchill's granddaughter. . . .
Sandys described Giuliani as 'the man Americans call `Churchill in a baseball cap.' ''

Giuliani, as expected, spoke at length about 9/11 and his guidance of New York through its darkest hour. That day, he said, as he has before, he looked to Churchill for inspiration. He prepared for Sept. 12, 2001, by forgoing sleep to read Churchill's biography, he said.

He said beforehand that he'd embarked on the London trip out of respect for Thatcher. He didn't need to bolster his international image, he said.

''I'm probably one of the four or five best-known Americans. In the world!'' he said. He soon amended that to put himself as high as No. 3.

1. I prefer an America where Livingston Taylor is more famous than Rudy Giuliani.

2. Rudy would make a great narcissist-in-chief.
Certainly the last thing this country needs succeeding the egomaniac currently occupying the office.
