If anything, his 'stunts' at these events show that:
He is a good sport, and
He has keen political sense that self-deprecating humor is a great thing in a politician, and
He is anything but a 'stuffed shirt' and a man comfortable with who he is...
People who would use this as an issue to denigrate Rudy likely have latent homosexual tendencies of which they are afraid.
Don't bet on that. What the MSM wants is turmoil and indecision in the Republican party. As a bonus, they get to poke the social conservatives. {Who they hate/fear? far more than blue blood Republicans}
But I agree with the rest of your post. Sometimes we are called upon to do stupid things for charity.
A mildly self deprecating sense of humor is very welcome in a modern era politician, in light of self important windbags like McCain, Schumer, Kerry, and others.
Good post, Al.
That the media and the libs have guns blazing at Rudy this early shows they're scared spitless of the guy -- not so much that he might win the Presidency, but that his win might be the kind of victory that sweeps other Republicans into office on every level.
Their tactics are so laughably obvious, too. Every article seems to be slanted toward Rudy not being conservative enough for some.
Since when was the media ever worried about how conservative somebody was?
They float these stories simply to divide the right, and I'm surprised at how many people fall for the gag.
and a man comfortable with who he is...funny
I'm a farmer and a man and am quite confortable,,,only women and pervs wear dresses and make-up..
I'm waiting for an MSM piece on Rudy that doesn't mention how he's going to sink once GOP learn his positions on social issues. Do the MSM really think we're that stupid that we don't already know where Rudy stands? Oh, wait.
