Bono to Giuliani: “I Got You, Babe”

Okay, that headline is lame, but former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani received the endorsement of Congresswoman Mary Bono (R-Palm Springs, Calif.), wife and successor to the seat once held by her late husband, Sonny Bono.

Rep. Bono said:

Giuliani is the right man for the job, Bono said, adding that she’s in line with “most of his philosophies.”

“Most of all, he showed tremendous leadership on Sept. 11 (2001),” she said. “It could not have been planned or staged. It was truly him, the man, rising to the occasion. I admire that.”

Also in the news today, Giuliani’s playbook that was leaked to the press earlier this month is now available online in full, Greg Sargent reports.

You know, I was a Philosophy Major, but I never had multiple philosophies. I guess I was missing out.

Speaking of those “philosophies…”

For Giuliani to get Bono’s support, it is no ringing endorsement of his conservative bona fides.

She has a mixed voting record from an ideological standpoint and, for instance, supports gay rights, including legal benefits for same-sex couples.

The precise issues that will derail a Giuliani’s shot at the nomination.

[...] Once again, Giuliani’s raised profile from the 9/11 terrorist attacks works to his beneft. Cellucci, like Rep. Mary Bono did just recently, pointed to Giuliani’s leadership in the wake of the attacks in New York. [...]
