New York TPM Reader KB on why the catastrophe of a Rudy presidency may force us to embrace the self-respect fiasco of Romneyism …
Josh, I totally agree with you about the danger to the Republic Rudy represents. He is totally and utterly unsuited to the oval office. Which is why, as allergic as you are to Romney’s phoniness, you have to see that as plastic and anodyne as Romney may be, he doesn’t represent quite the same danger as Rudy at the controls. As a Dem I’m hoping Romney gets the nomination, not only for this reason, but also because the media tends to run with the hero worshiping b——t narratives. No matter how hard we try, the narrative of a Rudy nomination will not be the one from the Village Voice’s Wayne Barett. It will be the one from Roger Ailes’s Fox News. Here’s to rooting for Mitt…
Also, very much a good point that the Fox News, in addition to operating as an adjunct of the Republican party as usual will also fall clearly behind Rudy since that’s what Roger Ailes wants.
