Meet your new thread, same as the old thread.

[Tyrone Slothrop]

Via James Wolcott, this is from the end of Vanity Fair's profile of Rudy Giuliani:

• The position of "Mrs. Giuliani" has not historically been a secure post. Although the candidate has lately been warned by advisers to avoid any hint of scandal, there is a sense that perhaps he is not listening. "Does a leopard change its spots?" says one close friend. Recently, Starr Shephard, a Texan who informs me she used to be on the "U.S. world team of rhythmic twirling gymnastics," emerged in The National Enquirer, which ran a story suggesting she might be a Giuliani love interest. "I am not having an affair with Rudy Giuliani. I do not need a political power stick," the 36-year-old redhead says when I call her. "I believe in his vision and his voice even if I do not believe in his family."
  
  
  "What do you mean by that?" I wonder.
  
  "Oh, you know, you hear things about his family," she replies.

Says Wolcott (who also writes for VF):

• I have no idea what this strange contortionist is intimating about the family, but I am relieved that Rudy's leopard-spotted power stick has not fallen into her twirling hands. Such a scandal would only serve to upstage Jeri Thompson's snowy Alps, which, I'm sure David Gergen would agree, is not the direction this country wants to go.

Which asserted basis for initiating the Iraq war did you find persuasive?

Your response proves that you are, yet again, my superior.

Yeah -- but you're like Avis.

this just in:

• Lawyers at Kirkland & Ellis, the law firm that's home to Whitewater prosecutor Kenneth Starr and Bush administration official Jay Lefkowitz, have given more to Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign than to all of the top Republican candidates combined.

of course. do you know how much starr billed? if she were actually President, in 2 years every partner there will be buying ocean front vacation homes. Can you imagine the shit she'd get up to?

Ron Paul ad (mostlySFW) -- discuss.

• "I say one thing to you out loud. How many deputies go to bed with prostitutes? It's not a crime. Of course I identify with Christian values but what have those got to do with going to bed with a prostitute? This is a private matter."

I'm a little surprised that the Ron Paul thing didn't get a reaction, but I guess people expect to see the lesbian action on the FB, not here.

Okay, CAIR, the entity that fights every step taken here to highlight the insanity the Jihadis want, has engaged it's hired gun to stop free speech once again:

here's the thing, CAIR's shill is also General Counsel for the DNC. Once we get to the election you'll lose again, not because the Rs will defame your candidate's weakness on terror, but because your own Party needs to be so "big umbrella" that you actually would be. You GC is CAIR's attorney. that is scary.

Bonus points: how many think Obama would invade Pakistan?

You're going to hold his legal clients against the party? Quick, someone get me a copy of Fred Thompson's talking points. "The flies buzz louder in the summer." There we go.

Depends on the facts -- probably less likely to do so than Hillary.

But that's pretty much irrelevant because I can guarantee you that whoever the next President may be won't invade Pakistan.

We simply can't do it while we're in Iraq and Afghanistan. We would be all but physically incapable of doing so within two years even if we immediately withdrew from Iraq.

It will take the Army years to recover from where we are now to the pre-Iraq condition. And everyone knows it.

P.S. The "Young Americans for Freedom" are a bunch of ball-sucking (NTTAWWT) wild-eyed, lunatics -- much like their leftist counterparts.

This is the only link in your post:

Not his firm bio. Perhaps a mistake?

ETA: Or you're the poster "Bryan" at hotair.com?
