"Back in '82..."
Following on my post below about the Hamlin and Schaller pieces, I think I've hit on what Giuliani is all about. He's the GOP's Uncle Rico candidate. He is the Republican party looking back at itself and thinking, I could have been great. He's the candidate of re-living the glory - or the imaginary glory - and pretending the rest of it never happened.
"How much you wanna make a bet I could throw a terrorist over them mountains?"
