"The Real Rudy?" Gawd, I hope so
Here’s old video in which Rudy Giuliani calls “bullshit” on former New York Mayor David Dinkins. Among other inanities,* liberal Greg Sargent implies that Rudy’s diction could get him in trouble with the GOP’s conservative base.
Where does Sargent get such a dippy, reductionist notion? If anything, this sort of stuff attracts conservatives to Rudy. Accordingly, I’m happy to embed it here:

*Sargent stupidly suggests that Rudy’s utterance of the word “bullshit” tells us something about the man’s “reliability and temperament” as a potential commander in chief.
UPDATE —
Welcome TPM readers! I’m your host, “some clown.” Thanks for stopping by.
And Greg, thanks for the link, bud! I appreciate it. But your reply is as lame as your original post. As Professor Althouse puts it, “Your post wasn’t about the larger context. You know damned well that you just thought you could make conservatives tremble because the guy yelled ‘bullshit.’ We called bullshit on you for that.” Precisely.
Now, after your ass has been handed to you, you say there’s a larger story here. Okay, fine. I commend it to the reader’s attention. But a larger story isn’t what your original post was about, Greg. And it isn’t what your critics were responding to. I know you know that.
