zasel says:

Giuliani is one of the most outrageous liars I have ever been aware of in politics in my entire life. And believe me, I have known some big liars. But none of them could so fluently pull facts and figures out of their ass the way Rudy can and expect everyone to believe what he says, simply because he says it forcefully. Paul Krugman elaborates far better than I could, and he asks a very urgent question. Why is Rudy's blatant pattern of lying and smearing not mentioned in the media as a character issue? Is it not as important as Edward's haircut, or Hillary's cackle?

Bigger than Bush ??? Have all these religions right problems with TRUTH, SEX, EDUCATION, MEDICAL, TORTURE, LAW, CONSTITUTION, FOREIGNERS, DEMOCRACY, WAR, DEATH, ENVIRONMENT, ALCOHOL, LOYALTY, PATRIOTISM.

What have I missed? LIFE?
