#1 Good for him! Either they lose money on the ad, or they effectively admit they made an illegal in-kind contribution, and Rudy scores bonus points for backing Gen'l Petraeus.

#3 Rudy definitely shows he has the guts to be the commander in chief and calls out slime when he sees it. I sooooo want to see a Thompson/Giuliani or Giuliani/Thompson ticket for the republicans.

#6 And a complaint has been filed with the FEC about the ad as well. Political ads cannot be discounted, therefore the claim is that becuae it was a political ad and was discounted, therefore in violaton of that rule...

One of Hugh Hewitt's regulars was talking about that yesterday...

#9 Wonder if he got it?

WASHINGTON - Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani criticized Democratic front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton in a full-page ad in Friday's New York Times, accusing her of attacking Iraq war commander Gen. David Petraeus' character.

Giuliani's ad in the Times quotes the GOP candidate as saying, "These times call for statesmanship, not politicians spewing political venom."

The Giuliani ad accuses Clinton, a New York senator, of participating in a "character attack" against Petraeus, citing her comments during a congressional hearing that the general's progress report on Iraq required a "willing suspension of disbelief."

#10 This is why I love Guilani for president. He does the kinds of things we wish Bush had the balls to do. Darth thinks Rudy will team up with Freddy and make a winning ticket. Don't bet on it, Darth. Rudy will pick his running mate, and I don't see Thompson's smoke and mirrors show as able to fool the Roodster.
Thompson should join McCain in uncovering how Hillary could grab 40 million from one guy for all the democrats to share. It must be in the fine print of that pesky McCain/Feingold campaign finance law.

#13 He does the kinds of things we wish Bush had the balls to do.

AMEN and AMEN, wxjames. Watching Bush respond to criticism is like watching paint dry. My God, what a frustrating excercise. He's had HUNDREDS of opportunities to respond to the America haters and most of the time just sits on his hands.

Whether Rudy can do this on a regular basis remains to be seen, but someone needs to beat the left at their own game.
