How about some historical perspective here?
Men dressing as women have always looked and sounded hilarious. Whether it’s Halloween or Elizabethan theater or Noel Coward entertaining the troops during WWII, it’s just damned funny.
Rudy is tough as nails, and will certainly get my support.
Now I guess I’ll have to retire after only a week on FR.
Rudy Giuliani is not "tough as nails" at all. He's a short, bald, lisping lawyer from New York City who has probably never made a fist in his life.
I'll offer a quote from an extensive post I made on FreeRepublic earlier this year. I think it addresses this issue pretty well . . .
Anyone who has the time to do some research on Rudy Giuliani might want to sit down and do an extensive search through old newspaper articles, internet articles, etc. -- and try to find any such article where Mr. Giuliani is doing something that anyone would consider manly in any normal sense -- and by this I mean engaging in physical activity, playing a sport, or doing just about anything that most normal people would associate with manliness. Ive looked long and hard for this, and I simply cant find one. I mean, even something staged as a photo-op for PR purposes -- like Ronald Reagan riding a horse or chopping wood on his California ranch, George W. Bush clearing brush on his ranch or driving around Crawford in that big white Ford F-350 Super Duty truck -- is nowhere to be found.
"Tough as nails?" LOL -- you must be kidding me.
