Rudy hits the air waves with the first Benazir Bhutto assassination political commercial.

I will say this: I am heartened by the fact that Rudy's campaign not only seems to be definitively swirling around the bowl but that he also seems committed to shuffling off this electoral coil with no dignity intact. I think we may be tumbling toward the aesthetic or comedic version of a parallax view in which the reality and parody versions of Rudy's campaign are meeting their long-anticipated convergence.
