Yesterday, 'America's Mayor', aka Rudy Giuliani endorsed Mitt Romney for President.
Forget about the GOP primary debates leading up to the 2008 Presidential elections, and the fact that both sides took nasty swipes at each other then. No matter, that back then, Giuliani dropped out of the race and endorsed the eventual GOP nominee John McCain.
...
Its irrelevant, that In January 2012, Giuliani said "Romney will say anything to become President of United States." He added during an interview: “I’ve never seen a guy change his positions on so many things, so fast, on a dime, on everything. Pro-choice, pro-life. …Then he was pro cap-and-trade. Now he’s against cap-and-trade. He was pro-(health care) mandate for the whole country, then he becomes anti-mandate, and he takes that page out of his book and republishes the book. I could go on and on.”
Today, Giuliani said "Romney has won, fair and square." When asked about polls showing Romney has a "likability" problem (is not likable), Giuliani put the dagger in to his new friend:
"This reminds me of going to a surgeon. If I've got a terrible cancer or something to be operated on -- when I had to be operated on for prostate cancer -- I didn't go to the nicest doctor, I went to the best doctor. The guy could have a great personality and tell great jokes and put the knife in the wrong way."
Let me see if I got this right - Giuliani was endorsing Romney for the Presidency of the United States. And, in this analogy President Obama is the 'nicest doctor', with Romney being the 'best doctor'. The US Presidency is about our country's fate, and its future. Is Giuliani then suggesting United States is the prostate cancer?
Call me slow, but this felt like reluctant dealmaking rather than an endorsement for anything.
Oh, and Mr. Giuliani, you'd be well advised to avoid any metaphors related to cancer, of the prostate, or otherwise. Be a little less of a narcissist.
