There are times, in the course of human events, when giants among men must emerge and lead a stunned nation through crisis. Welcome to the present day, folks. See any giants out there, any Lincolns, Churchills, Roosevelts, you know, that breed? If you do, please go easier on the dosage. If only Rudy Giuliani hadn’t proven to be a dismal dud on the campaign trail, because this financial crisis – with its clarion call to excise excess and corruption from the system – is right up his alley. Recall the eighties when U.S. Attorney Giuliani presided over one perp walk after another out of Wall Street houses, and those transgressions pale in comparison to the current nonsense. (In fact, some of those guys were unfairly railroaded). And, let’s face it, he acquitted himself fairly well following the World Trade Center attacks.
O’Reilly last night implored McCain to name Rudy and Romney today as Attorney General and Treasury Secretary. If he did, he’d be so far back in this race he might even take the lead. Yet, alas, no such grand gesture, no such bold action seems imminent. For heaven's sake, Johnny, do not let this unproven uppity upstart take this prize. Do something and do it now!
And speaking of pygmies among men, did you catch Barney Frank getting bitch-slapped through the airwaves by O'Reilly? If only they were in the same studio, I'd love to have seen Barney's fighting technique. He probably would have scampered behind the cameraman for protection. Holy shit! God save us all.
