Rudy Giuliani’s campaign took yet another turn to the absurd with Christmas Card #2.  Following up on Mike Huckabee’s much maligned but probably successful Christmas ad, Giuliani came out with a similar ad today… also in front of a Christmas tree, also in a red sweater…  From the same campaign that gave us the brilliant response to the MoveOn.org “General Betray Us” ad, we get a knock-off response like this?  Geez, did he have to wear a red sweater?  (It’s not even as nice as Huckabee’s.)

OK–let’s assume that both campaigns just happened to be making the same commercial at the same time, and Huck beat Rudy to the finish line by 2 days.  Why did the ad writers have to have Rudy saying he was going to buy fruitcakes for Christmas?  Are you kidding me?  Does the campaign forget how its opponents like to roll out pics of Rudy in drag?  The only hypothesis I can come up with is they thought this would somehow appeal to aged Floridians or something.  I didn’t think the campaign could screw up more than last week when they scheduled Rudy’s big “vision” speech in Florida, on a Saturday.  But they did.
