I Said From The First He Was The Worst

We’ve been having a debate at TAPPED about who’s the least bad of the potential Republican candidates. As Kevin Drum notes, however, there should be no serious question about who’s the worst:

Choosing the best presidential candidate among the 2008 contenders is a tough job. Picking the worst is easy. Rudy Giuliani is the guy you’d get if you put George Bush and Dick Cheney into a wine press and squeezed out their pure combined essence: unbounded arrogance and self-righteousness, a chip on his shoulder the size of a redwood, a studied contempt for anybody’s opinion but his own, a vindictive streak a mile wide, and a devotion to secrecy and executive power unmatched in presidential history. He is a disaster waiting to happen.

And he didn’t even bring up such crucial names as Norman Podhoretz, Bernie Kerik, Alan Placa…the danger of a Giuliani presidency can scarcely be overstated.
