This is interesting news, that former NYC Mayor Rudy Guiliani is now positioning to run for NY Senate next year — and not against Chuck Schumer for the full 6-year term, but against Kirsten Gillibrand to fill the remainder of Hillary Clinton’s Senate term.  

For starters, here’s what strikes us:

* Giuliani will never be president, because he dressed in drag, is pro-choice (great way to keep the base home on election day), and has a wife, Judith, who tortured and killed puppies as a surgical sutures rep in the 80s and 90s.  There is a whole Vanity Fair piece run in 2007 that spells out all the sick and perverse things the two of them have done through the years:  it’s been too long since 9/11 for Giuliani to profit off being mayor on that day, which is the only thing that would have trumped most of the negatives about him, especially for conservative voters. The GOP cannot run a moderate and expect to win because those conservatives will sit their butts home.  Learn from 2008, people. 

* It’s a BIG DEAL that Giuliani is not running for NY governor.  That means the state is in too much trouble to save.  David Paterson said it would be broke by Christmas, but this is a good indication of how bad things must really be.  It seems like Giuliani would win the gubernatorial race if he wanted it.  It’s also interesting to us that Hillary Clinton didn’t want to be governor of New York either.  Paterson is a weak governor.  If he survies the Dem nomination process, he will be a weak general election candidate.  It’s interesting Giuliani wants to head to the Senate — a place where he won’t be able to do much of anything because of Senate seniority rules.  When so much bad legislation is coming up consistently for votes, being part of the Senate is the last thing anyone should want. 

* It is interesting that Giuliani is going for Gillibrand’s two year term and not after Schumer’s 6-year term.  That means Giuliani would be either up for re-election in 2012, or he could try to run for president again.  Unless Sarah Palin backs him, he’s toast for the presidential nomination.  Sorry, but all of us here are gay and we don’t want a president who dressed in drag (that goes for you, too, Charlie Crist). We don’t care why he did it.  He did it.  It’s not appropriate for a president.  It should indeed be used against Giuliani.  As should his wife’s puppy killing (where she used live puppies, cut their stomachs open, then demonstrated how surgical sutures she was selling are used to close up wounds like that.  After her demos, the puppies were euthanized).  By 2012, America will have suffered so much under Dr. Utopia.  We really, really don’t need the Rudy and Judith Show after having gone through the adventures of Dr. and Mrs. Utopia.  

We heard rumors former Governor George Pataki was running for the Senate.  Maybe he’ll run for Schumer’s seat.  Governor Paterson humiliated HRH Princess Caroline of Kennedy and forever ruined any chance she had of becoming an elected official herself, so for that the man has our constant gratitude. We know people who’ve worked for Paterson who say he’s kind of an ass and a big baby to deal with, so we won’t be helping him in the slightest — but man, to do what he did to Princess Caroline, that guy’s forever on our Christmas card list, let us tell you.
