Plus: McSchwarzenegger.

Valediction.

Wanted: Red meat.

Update: Here’s Giuliani’s interview on The Glenn and Helen Show.

Rudy Giuliani gets religion in Florida. It’s about all he has left:
With his plan for winning the GOP presidential nomination riding largely on a Florida victory at the end of the month, Rudy Giuliani asked an evangelical congregation for prayers instead of votes Sunday and quoted [...]

A few items for you this morning on our leading GOP immigration drag queens running for president.
First up: Video of Mayor Rudy Giuliani boasting that NYC is “quite tolerant of undocumented immigration and this shouldn’t surprise you because I’ve been mayor of this city a long time and outspoken on this issue even nationally, [...]

Beware the border-control cross-dressers.

“We need a president who has our backs.”

“Coming clean.”

Odd couple.

HEADLINE NEWS! A teenager disagrees with her father! She posts on Facebook! She subscribed to Barack Obama’s Facebook group! I repeat: She subscribed to Obama’s Facebook group! Stop the presses! She has unsubscribed to Obama’s Facebook group! Doesn’t matter: Obama is thrilled!
Pant, pant, pant! Slaver, slaver, slaver!

A liberal blogger at Talking Points Memo is trying to stir up the conservative pot by posting old video of Rudy saying “Bulls**t” at a police union rally in 1992. TPM claims Rudy “screamed” and was “unhinged.” Not:

I’ve expressed my disapproval before when public figures use profanity in public. But making a big deal out [...]

Big news, in case you haven’t already seen: Appeals court overturns D.C. gun ban.
According to the majority opinion, “[T]he phrase ‘the right of the people,’ when read intratextually and in light of Supreme Court precedent, leads us to conclude that the right in question is individual.”
“If the dispute makes it to the high court, it [...]

Bryan Preston, Ian Schwartz, Erick Stakelbeck, and I will be covering the 34th annual Conservative Political Action Conference for Hot Air. I’ll also liveblog events and photoblog here at mm.com throughout the 3-day conference. If you’re planning to attend, we’ll have a booth in the exhibitor hall that opens at 10am later today. In addition [...]

The annual Conservative Political Action Conference will kick off later this week. Hot Air and I will be there covering the action, manning a booth, shooting video, signing books, and reporting on the scene.
Patrick Ruffini sends word that Rudy Giuliani will attend. Via the Politico’s Jonathan Martin:
I reported a piece last month about how [...]

Remember my random gallery of “lone” shooters?
One of the entries was this one:

New York City
Abu Kamal, a Palestinian teacher shoots seven tourists on the 86th-floor observation deck of the Empire State Building, killing one. AP: “‘[He carried a note blaming the United States for using Israel as “an instrument’ against his people. The [...]

With strong caveats:
Many conservatives understandably don’t want to shut the door on Rudy Giuliani. He is very effective at fighting for, and implementing, those conservative causes with which he agrees. Indeed, he represents one of the best examples of executive ability over the last 15 years.
But for four decades, pro-lifers have resisted intense pressure from [...]

Rock star. Obama’s bathing suit shots just made a People Magazine spread.
Ana Marie must positively have the vapors.
As for good-looking candidates who won’t find themselves media darlings anytime soon, Mitt Romney was on the phone all day today, with pretty good results. The Boston Globe reports “more than a million,” but HotLine is saying [...]

After a valiant, hard-fought battle, 9/11 family member Debra Burlingame and countless other Americans who joined her have won the battle to protect Ground Zero from the Blame America crowd. For now. Kudos to everyone who wrote, called, and blogged their outrage since Burlingame blew the whistle in June and refused to relent. [...]

Yes, I’ve been bombarded with e-mail about the New York City delivery guy who was trapped in the elevator for four days. And yes, he is an illegal immigrant. Or as ABC News and most of the MSM are reporting it, “undocumented.”
Amazingly, a local city councilman is attacking the New York Police Department for disclosing [...]

I find it annoying that Bernard Kerik is getting praised in some quarters for “coming clean” and “accepting responsibility” for his “mistake.” From all accounts, including Kerik’s own, President Bush’s aides asked him upfront about the nanny question several times during the vetting process and he did not come clean.
Kerik didn’t just make some [...]

that Tom Ridge is handing in his resignation.
Some conservatives want Rudy Giuliani to replace Ridge. Before you get on the bandwagon, here’s my column from 2002 highlighting Giuliani’s open-borders court battle to keep New York City safe for illegal aliens and, yes, terrorists.
Update: News conference is set for 2:45pm.
Update II: Ridge says he has [...]

My new column is up: Five reasons to fear the Democratic Party.
Well, six if you count Al Sharpton, who will speak tonight, believe it or not, to reinforce the Democrat theme of a “Stronger More Secure America.”
Here’s a quick refresher course on Law-and-Order Al’s record on cops, crime, and security:
1) Sharpton’s post-September 11 attacks [...]
