Rudolph Giuliani: A gun-grabbing, gay loving, pro-abort, big spending, pro-UN corrupt scumbag who is beloved by the mainstream media.
Lots of people on FR would still vote for him no matter what. I don't know if I could do it.
Except for the big spending part, you described him to a "t".
You forgot to mention he endorsed Mario Cuomo for governor one year.
He is liked by the media for the republican nomination, if he was the nominee, the Media would villify him as Hitler right after.
Before 9/11, the media in NYC loathed him.
