Newsweek Reporter Wanted to 'Take Out' Giuliani [Kevin D. Williamson]

A reader points out this fascinating tidbit from Newsweek campaign reporter Michael Hastings, writing about Rudy Giuliani:


I had a recurring fantasy in which I took him out during a press conference (it was nonlethal, just something that put him out of commission for a year or so), saving America from the horror of a President Giuliani. If that sounds like I had some trouble being “objective,” I did.

Nonlethal? Well, that much is a relief. How does Newsweek's reputation survive its coverage?

Newsweek is a rag, like almost all the media. Giuliani would have been tougher for Obama to beat with his "exec experience," and higher appeal to moderates. But he couldn't get past the GOP far-right because of abortion. It's too bad, he'd have made a very good candidate, imo. I would have been hard pressed not to consider voting for him.
