Vice President Rudy Guiliani?

Chris Matthews interviewed Rudy Guiliani last night and Rudy proceeded to kiss the ass of every Republican in the Race from Donald Trump to Jeb!, which means that Rudy is angling to be somebody's -- anybody's vice president.

Tweety usually goes after this kind of crap with a vengence, but he was unusually polite, didn't interrupt and let Rudy have his few minutes to pitch himself as acceptable to anyone and everyone.

Sorry, but I don't have a link to the video. If someone can find it, please post it. It's one more example of the disease that is today's GOP.

(And by the way, does Jeb! really think that anyone believes he's changed his last name from Bush to an exclamation point?)

Too old and doesn't bring much to the table in regard to large voting blocs that won't already be accessible to whoever the Republican presidential nominee is

going to put him on a ticket for VP.

On the other hand, who would have been incredibly stupid/incompetent enough to put Sarah Palin on a ticket as VP. This might be what Rudy is thinking.

(I guess "Bush third time's a charm!" tested badly with target audiences.)
