Washington Post Hits Rudy For Hypocrisy On Guns And NRA

Today's Washington Post picked up our story from the other day on the interview Rudy Giuliani gave to Charlie Rose in which he suggested that the National Rifle Association are "extremists."

Rudy is set to speak at an NRA convention tomorrow as part of his efforts to obscure his past support for gun control in the quest for GOP primary votes. WaPo sticks Rudy's "extremists" reference right in its headline:

Giuliani Seeking Support From NRA

GOP Presidential Candidate to Address Group He Once Likened to 'Extremists'

WaPo adds a great little detail: When Rudy speaks before the NRA tomorrow, a panel of Federal judges will simultaneously be hearing arguments in a lawsuit that New York City brought against the gun industry when Rudy was Mayor -- a lawsuit loathed by the NRA and "gun rights" advocates. We wrote extensively about this lawsuit in our original story, but WaPo was able to add the juicy fact that the arguments will be ongoing as Rudy speaks to the NRA.

On the other hand, if there were rules in place preventing hypocrites, windbags, demagogues, reprobates, and liars from campaigning for the Republican nomination, why we just wouldn't have anyone in the race, now would we?

People! Let's focus on the positive, shall we?

Alan Keyes is running! The humor factor of this election just increased ten-fold!
