As the AP reports Rudolph Giuliani is apparently already so desperate in his quest for the 2008 republican presidential nomination that he has gone to Georgia to kiss Ralph Reed’s ass. Reed, as you will remember, is so far enmeshed in the numerous Abramoff felonies that even Georgia republicans have deserted him in his pursuance of election as the state’s Lieutenant Governor.

The much heralded Giuliani is such a whiz that he decided to place the NYC emergency operations center in the World Trade Center after the building was the target of a 1993 terrorist bombing. Let’s also remember that apparently Giuliani thinks so highly of himself that, in the wake of the 9-11 WTC attacks, he suggested he should remain in office beyond the end of his term, as presumably mayor elect Bloomberg was not up to the task of salving NYC.
