You can see he is smiling and laughing with the schmuck next to him, but when Slick Willie sees he is on camera.... cue the tears and pouty lip.

Re: Who is your ideal candidate for 08?
All I know is Mayor Dinkins = play hopscotch over crackheads on way to work, dodge squeegee guys at the tunnel every time I drive into Manhattan. Giuliani = cleaner safer city, increased tourism and property values, better overall quality of life.
Yes he's kind of a prick and yes his 9/11 "hero" status is probably overblown. But he's not the heartless nazi his haters portray and he did a great job as mayor of a huge, diverse, mostly-democratic city. He's probably the republican with the best chance to win some key states that usually are conceded to the Democrats.

By imprisoning all of the "squeegee guys?" Sounds like a solid plan, if you imprison everyone obviously there can be no problems.

[/ QUOTE ] ughh..this guy is such a douche He was a senator who didn't want to be a senator and now he is an actor who is going to run for president simply because the social conservatives are so desperate for someone to do what they want they'll take anything they can get.

[/ QUOTE ] True but I don't see this as much different than you or I joking with a friend on the way into a funeral and then feigning great sorrow when we see the family members of the deceased. Not saying Clinton wasn't a phony like most politicians, just that this particular example isn't all that big a deal IMO.

Same for muggers and subway panhandlers. Should I prefer they stick around? Or should I ask my mayor to try and increase the number of addicts criminals and mentally ill homeless I have to fight through on my daily commute?
