Count me among the millions who wonder all the time, “Why bother?  What Digby said.”

Rudy is a bully, authoritarian, my-way-or-the-highway kind of guy.  Period.  End of story.  This man LOVES him some himself, and his potential power.

And as Joe Biden, who despite all his faults DOES know a little bit about foreign policy says, paraphrasing a bit, “When it comes to foreign policy, Rudy is a nut-job.”

Rudy does have his appeal to the I Need A Daddy, and We Should Bomb Everyone crowd.  So there’s that.
