My opinion piece in today’s Jewishworldreview.com addresses Rudy Giuliani’s demonstrated commitment to Israel, including in times when it won him no accolades.
An added bonus: my dear friend Julia Gorin and I, unbeknownst to each other, were at work simultaneously on pieces on this subject, and those pieces are featured today on jewishworldreview.com side by …
Maybe I’m thinking with my heart, but I believe the polls will get it at least somewhat wrong in Florida. Especially after Rudy Giuliani’s strong showing in tonight’s Republican debate in Boca Raton.
A few highlights: When Tim Russert asked about the economy, Rudy made the point that he’s the only candidate who has truly turned …
Thanks to Leo Drew for the comment re: Hillary’s attacks on Obama. I watched the videos Mr. Drew sent, and at least one correction to my earlier post is in order. According to both ABC News and CNN, Rezko’s contributions to Obama’s various campaigns are in the multiple thousands, rather than $1000.
ABC News claims …
Tonight I watched the Democratic debate from South Carolina. For anyone who didn’t see it, Hillary and Barack were scrapping like wild and Edwards was piping in with his usual warmed over class warfare spiel. Most striking were Hillary’s fierceness, even ruthlessness, and an intriguing comment on the part of Obama.
One of the bones of …
Am I the only non-leftist who’s glad to see Hillary take New Hampshire? It’s not that I give her points for crying, but there was something far-fetched about the media’s anointing of Obama after his win in just one state.

Supporters of Ron Paul, I must give you points for enthusiasm. Thanks for all the comments, and for keeping them, for the most part, civil. Some of the criticism I’ve received for previous posts charges I don’t know enough about Ron Paul to dare opine.
First, I do not claim to be an expert on …
In a previous post, I wrote that Ron Paul’s performance last week on “Meet the Press” made me think he’s been spending too much time locked in the bathroom reading Ayn Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged,” a sort of unofficial libertarian manifesto. After receiving some angry comments, I wrote another post in which I explained …
You gotta love Ron Paul and his admirers. No sooner had I posted a few thoughts about the man’s performance on “Meet the Press” on Sunday than I started receiving vitriolic comments from his followers across the country. That’s ok – it’s good to get comments. But their nasty and personal tone (see comments to …
It’s no wonder all the malcontents love Ron Paul. On “Meet the Press” on Sunday, he propounded the naïve idea that the attacks of September 11 were, at least partially, America’s fault.
“They attacked us here because we were over there,” he said, referring to the U.S. military base in Saudi Arabia.
The idea, like all blaming-of-the-victim, …
Remember the Circus, and Support Giuliani in Florida and Beyond

Ah, 1995, when terrorists were statesmen and Rudy Giuliani, in the words of Ed Koch, had “behavioral problems dealing with other people.”
I refer to that glorious time following Yasser Arafat’s receipt of the Nobel Peace Prize, when His Excellency Arafat arrived unannounced at …
