Hilarious - NYT says Rudy "goes straight to the pandering"

my god, what a crop of LOSERS we've got running for president... the only one, dem or r, who seems to have a drop of the right stuff is edwards and my jury is still out on him, but THIS is pretty sad...

Americans are weary enough of presidential candidates who blurt out one of those intellectually dishonest sound bites known as “the pander” when they are caught in the last moments of a do-or-die race. But what are they to make of a candidate who goes straight to the pandering, with comments that are offensive to millions of people?

That’s what we found ourselves asking when Rudolph Giuliani told reporters in Alabama that it should be up to the state to decide whether to fly the Confederate battle flag over its Capitol. Never mind that the flag has not flown there for nearly 15 years. Never mind that nobody is pushing to return it. Never mind that lawsuits have been decided on this issue and that millions of Americans find the standard to be a symbol of slavery and repression.

Explaining his let-them-fly-flags philosophy, he declaimed that one of the “great beauties” of American government is that “we can make different decisions in different parts of the country.”

He added: “We have different sensitivities.”

Mr. Giuliani cannot truly believe the issues surrounding the Confederate flag are just a matter of local taste. The Civil War, the civil rights movement and the Supreme Court answered that question. Even the Southern states have largely moved on.

add this to his not knowing how much us po' folks have to pay for bread and milk at the store, and we've got a pretty pathetic candidate on our hands...
