Yuille then added that Giuliani's "campaign will tell you that ... he hasn't changed, but that the laws have changed, and therefore he has kind of evolved over time with them."

I am not suprised by this, the MSM has been treating Rudy and McCain for the most part with kit loves. I do not call the issue with his kids as being a huge deal, but can only imagine if it were a Democratic candidate, the outrage from the MSM.

Isn't that about par for what's left of the GOP diehards?
I don't understand what's happening to MSNBC, for about a year
they reported accurate news, even when it contradicted the bush
administration, then about three months ago they started acting like Fox again....Iwouldn't dare think blackmail
