Imagine what he could do as President

Today's New York Times has one of the the nastiest true stories about a political candidate I've ever seen. It seems former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani has a mean streak that extends not just to nettlesome political opponents, but to just about anybody who crosses him, big or small. Yes, all politicians have the capacity to be mean to opponents, but this goes way beyond the pale.

These stories are truly horrifying. No one with a record of vindictiveness like this ought to be given the powers of the presidency. Giuliani would make President Richard Nixon with his enemies list and IRS audits look like Jimmy Carter and a Sunday School picnic.
