US Presidential Politics. Ask Guiliani any question, and he talks about his "leadership"--I don't know what that refers to--on Sep. 11. Ask John McCain a question about his links to lobbyists (read the account about his role in Keating Five in today's New York Times--do you know that the crook, Charles Keating, was a great friend of Mother Teresa and she wrote letters to his judge on his behalf?), and he asserts that he was proud to serve his country in the Navy. Ask Huckabee a question on health care, and he reminds you that he has visited Israel nine times. Ask Obama a question, and he denies being a Muslim. Ask Hillary a question, and she responds by insisting that she sides with both sides of any issue. Ask me a question, and I will yell at you.
