Yesterday, I took note of the fact that no matter how poorly he performs, the political press seem invested in pushing the narrative that Rudy Giuliani is still a leading contender for his party's presidential nomination. The Mayor of 9/11 has failed to win a single primary contest, and has lost to Ron Paul twice, yet political reporters continue their efforts to polish his aura of inevitability.
Today, Phoenix Woman attacks this ridiculous meme from her perch at Firedoglake.
You may be wondering, as I did, when does a guy who gets creamed by Ron Paul in the primaries get to be called a "winner"? When the person doing the calling is a movement Republican desperate to keep alive Rudy Giuliani's candidacy, of course. (Or a Republican blogger desperate for a few easy clicks on the "Ha! Made ya look!" principle.)Read the rest. It's great.
