Giuliani's ego ran circles around the press yesterday in London. It was truly a masterpiece production. Rudy claimed to be one of the top four or five most popular Americans in the world. He also said he would increase the size of the military and promise to go to war with Iran if they kept trying to become nuclear. Basically he went around London stomping his feet and demanding to be known as a "big boy." Well Giuliani might wet his diaper when he finds out he isn't even in the top ten.
From The Huffington Post:
LONDON — Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani bragged about his international celebrity Wednesday on a trans-Atlantic campaign trip in which he schmoozed with conservative idol Margaret Thatcher.
"I'm probably one of the four or five best known Americans in the world," Giuliani told a small group of reporters at a posh London hotel as onlookers gathered in the lobby to gawk at actor Dustin Hoffman who was on a separate visit.

But who are the four other best-known Americans?
"Bill Clinton ... Hillary," he said, but he was whisked away for another engagement before he could throw out any other names.
He went over there to impress Margaret Thatcher, after Mitt and Fred had already met the "Iron Lady." Wooing the Tory vote seems a little strange, but let them spend their time as they choose.
As for picking Presidents based on popularity instead of tact, skill and courage (things Giuliani doesn't have), I might have to go with Bill or Hillary, or Dustin Hoffman or Britney Spears or Shaq or Michael Jordan. Thats six names right off the top of my head, so he's at least #7. Perhaps we'll go with someone who has some leadership ability instead. I'd rather leave those who are trained in 'looking good' to other professions.
