The sign of a sick mind is one that exposes itself for the sick mind that it is. This is not rocket science, and you don't need a doctorate in psychology to see it. If it walks and quacks like a duck, then, brother, you've got a duck on your hands.
Let me be the first one to say this, out loud and for all to hear. Rudy Giuliani has a sick mind, a mind that stays on one track, like a railroad heading for a station wagon carrying a family of four stuck on the tracks. Rudy is no idiot; unlike George W. Bush, had no accomplishments to speak of before he ran for president, Rudy actually worked for a living before his super-sized ego convinced him that he and only he was qualified to serve as President of the United States.
The problem with Rudy is the problem with American politics. Americans don't vote, and when they do vote they do so thoughtlessly. If a candidate has a nice family, that helps the candidate. If the candidate is well-known, that helps, too. In fact, that's all you need. Nobody reads position papers, and the television advertisements are nothing more than propaganda pieces intended to suck in the mindless TV watchers who don't even know who's running for office.
Rudy has become closely associated with September 11, mostly because he happened to be the mayor of New York City when the terrorists struck. He got on TV that day and in the terrible aftermath and said that we can get through this shock. He didn't do much else. No matter. Our pathetic national media dubbed Rudy "America's Mayor." So when his term ended and Rudy returned to the private sector, he decided he wanted to be president. His personal life is a mess and he is now swimming in scandal, but he knows that the 9/11 card works every time.
It is well known that Rudy cannot stop talking about 9/11. He's a one-note Johnny who thinks that somehow his public image from that day establishes him as an expert on terror and security. There is very little evidenc of this, but the media does not ask him tough questions about this and, let's face it: many Americans are not sufficiently well-informed to know the truth, which is that he is actually a 9/11 failure.
The Iowa caucuses took place this week. Rudy did not campaign in this important first test of the 2008 campaign, and he got his ass kicked badly. He was asked if this was a setback. He replied that it was not, and that he's had challenges before. Listen to what this disgusting and arrogant egomanic told the New York Daily News:
"None of this worries me - Sept. 11, there were times I was worried," Giuliani said.
Even worse, take a look at this shameless advertisement intended to scare the shit out of anyone who does not want to die. There is no nuance anymore. His campaign is sagging and let's pull out all stops. Osama bin Ladin is now Giuliani's running mate.
There is something wrong with a man who profits from terror. Rudy profits from terror. I am sure he did not welcome 9/11 and we know that he lost friends in that tragedy. But the tragedy is that he is using the death and suffering of thousands of people as a springboard to the presidency. Rudy, I think I speak on behalf of everyone who still cling to a sense of decency when I tell you that you are one very sick man with a lot of emotional problems. Get yourself to a good psychiatrist and find out why, exactly, you decided to become a social degenerate.
