So what do YOU know about Rudy?
[image by driftglass]
To celebrate the latest poll (and we all know polls don't matter, except when they do) which shows Giuliani has dropped 13 points in four weeks (a personal record!) we thought we'd link to the latest New Yorker "Shouts and Murmurs," which features a Rudy Quiz for your amusement. Here's a sample question:
12. What action by the Giuliani administration was found by the courts to have violated the First Amendment rights of New Yorkers?
(a) Preventing taxi-drivers from assembling for a protest.
(b) Requiring city workers to obtain permission to speak to the press.
(c) Refusing to issue a permit for an anti-police-brutality march.
(d) All of the above, and many more.
Take the reality-based quiz online here...
Update: Okay kids grab yer blindfolds, Fox is reporting that Rudy wants to show you "his softer side".... warning that link does actually go to Fox News
Sounds nauseaous.
Tell Driftglass I need a drink before viewing Rudy's "softer side" (that doesn't involve a wig and makeup, of course).
It's an outrage that TIME mag named Putin Man of the Year over Al Gore. What does a person have to do to get that designation anyway? I don't see Putin saving the world, he's just creating a new tyranny in Russia.
Rudy, Rudy, Rudy!

Got 14 correct! I know my Rudy.
rudy's softer side consists of him testing the water temperature before he orders the waterboarding of a detainee.
but, i think the best people to comment on rudy's softer side would be his two estranged kids... i wonder what their take would be?
Rudy's big campaign mistake was appearing in public and speaking.
I can't stand Rudy any more than the next person but a couple of those items as a bit past what I'd consider newsworthy. Really, should he be held accountable for his father's choice of association and profession? Just wondering if once again we're being a little to much like the hateful neocons we vilify around here to no end.

Oh come on. It's not supposed to be an award of any kind. I hope the left isn't going to start whining about Al Gore like the right is whining about Petraus.
I'm just (pleasantly) surprised it's not an american as usual!

TIME should have left the cover blank and printed "I don't recall" in bold letters. See what I did there? lol

Time, The Weekly Fiction Magazine, names the person of the year based on the impact the editors felt the person so named had, for better or for worse. I think Ol' Adolph Himself made it one year. This isn't journalism- it's CRAP
Thanks for the warning on the Faux News link - I managed to avoid a mid-day headache.
At least I got eight correct on the poll -- and I haven't lived in NYC since 1988!
I know that Rudy is a POS!!...And that's enough for me...
Learning about Rudy is like learning about the Dodo, except he's not quite extinct.
Appears fox's youdecide08.foxnews.com server is down. So we're safe from Rudy's soft side.
Yeah nothing on that site is working at the moment. Oh well... - BG

That picture is HILARIOUS!
Does Rudy's "soft side" include his cross-dressing and serial adultery?

Rudy's on his fainting couch from the mouth-breathers abandoning him
I really hope Rudy gets the republican nomination
Who was it that called Rudy "A man in search of a balcony?"
Rudy wants to show you “his softer side”….
OK Rudy you put your best cheek forward and show us your softer side!

Touché! Good one.
Ha ha ha. Guess it don't look so good if The New Yorker feels compelled to put a quiz in about how S-L-E-A-Z-Y Rudy is.
Driftglass, aaaaaaa, you're great! Il Douche' for the new millennium.

:-PPP
Ah yes Rudy "To know him is to Loathe him"
Rudy sounds like the kind of guy who would give you the shirt of of your back. I bet he has friends he hasn't even used yet.
The Time cover used for this post is appropriate. Rudys campaign has a lot in common with the Italian Army in WWII, couldn't beat anybody.
Water-boarding no big deal !!! Flu like symptoms requires hospitalization assuming you're a candyass blowhard with a limp dick
Rudy how dare you not speak for the people who have breathed toxic fumes, you and Killary are the death of NY. I hope you Rudy got a lungfull on 911.
MSNBC sums up his treachery

I think Jimmy Breslin said "...a small man in search of a balcony."

Don't tell he forgot his Viagra again.
