As one of his supporters, actor Robert Duvall, might say: Rudy played this one beautifully.
Last week, all Republican politicians worth their weight came out blasting MoveOn.org for taking out a full-page ad in the New York Times smearing Gen. David Petraeus on the day he was scheduled to deliver his Iraq progress report to Congress. The outrage among conservatives only grew as leading Democrats failed to condemn the ad, Hillary Clinton questioned the general's honesty, and it was disclosed that the far left group was given a drastically reduced advertising rate in the New York Times.
But while other Republicans complained, Rudy Giuliani did something about it. Speaking to reporters in Atlanta on Thursday, Giuliani demanded that the New York Times give his campaign the same discounted rate so it could take out an ad defending Gen. Petraeus and assailing Clinton and MoveOn.org for "character assassination of an American general in a time of war." He also called on the paper to run the ad at the time of his choosing (Friday, the day after President Bush's primetime address to the nation).
The next morning, American liberals had to spit out their soy milk while reading their paper of record over breakfast.

I was born under Impellitteri but Wagner is the first mayor I can remember.
I was born in Brooklyn, lived in Manhattan 1976-79, and left right before Dinkens.
It's an f'ing MIRACLE what Rudy did, and the idea that Hillary would have done 10% of what Rudy did, or that they are basically the same, is just ridiculous.
LOL----you could never do that.
However, those who have, NEVER forget the experience.

I may vote for Rudy in the General Election (probably but not 100% sure of that), but will fight to my last breath make sure the choice is NOT....Rudy.
We stand to loose as much if not more in some ways under Rudy.....
Fred can and will beat the Hildabeastie.
Sexism only exists if there are people of both sexes involved.....(LOL)
Didn’t he refuse a check from a moslim dictator, was it the the saudi’s? after 9/11?
There are several different options for treating prostate cancer. One is the one Kerry opted for--surgery. Giuliani chose a different option to treatment which involved a three step approach. He began the third phase in late November.
Mr. Giuliani announced April 27 that he had prostate cancer in an early, treatable form. Three weeks later, citing his illness, he withdrew from the Senate race. He also began preliminary hormone treatments to lower the levels of prostate-specific antigens in his blood. In September he underwent the implantation of radioactive seeds in his prostate gland.
Mr. Giuliani's doctors had said that the seeds would emit radiation for about two months, after which a third phase of treatment, the external beam radiation, would begin. The goal of the second and third phases is to eradicate the cancer.
A snot-nosed Saudi prince oozed over to City Hall and offered Rudy a ten million dollar check, I suppose in recognition that the terrorists were almost all from the Kingdom.
Of course, the prince had to make a few remarks, among which were that fact that it was America's support of Israel that made his little people so upset.
Hizzoner then handind him back the check, said, ;thanks, but no thanks", humiliating him and his masters in front of the national and world press.
I've never seen a US politician who cared less about the New York press, when that press was in a position to hurt him.
-come ON, Rudy DID\ run against the beast for the Senate seat - he just dropped out before she beat him.
EXACTLY!!
He could have done his state, his Party and his country a GREAT SERVICE by removing Hillary from the Senate last November.
He could have kept control of the Senate for the Republicans, seriously damaged Hillary's Presidential ambitions, and likely helped his (at least with some conservatives) by removing her from the Senate in the liberal state that knows him best, and loves him.
He can spare us his LIBERAL efforts now!
True, but he ran from that fight with his tail between his legs.
He's no "Hillary Slayer." He's a wimp, who'll get eaten alive if he has to stand up to her.
I’d guess there are only about 30% of real Americans left in this country.
Yep, fastest recovery in history. He would have lost anyway. He got a double recovery with that one illness.
Nobody questions that Rooty Toot had cancer. But many think he used it as an excuse to drop out of the race because he knew he would lose. There is NO evidence that suggests that the cancer interfered with his abilities to run for office.
Moreover, if as the Rooty Rooter claim, Rooty Toot is the “only one who can beat Hillary,” why didn’t he do it LAST YEAR?
I agree. I have her thighness as my state senator NOW and I do blame Rudy for chickening out during that attempt. I do not believe for one minute that Rudy can beat hillary.
NO, Rudy had cancer. BUT, he used it to get out of a losing senatorial race. The new guy couldn’t get any traction and she sailed into office. America forgets that he had a shot at hillary and dropped out once already.
