Rudy Maybe Out, But Still "Respected"

I was at the Skirball Center here in Los Angeles yesterday while on a bit of a break from chilly warm and stormy New York. After seeing the Dylan exhibit we wandered into another gallery and saw some amazing paintings depicting the Id, Ego and SuperEgo. They were inspired by Freud and a nice touch to end the afternoon over there. I wonder what the artists (and Freud) would think of Rudy Giuliani's battle between his Id, Ego and SuperEgo? Even though he was humiliated out of the Presidential race a month ago, he is still making money off of something he has that is ridiculously inflated.

From Right's Field:

According to the Speakers Bureau’s bio of Rudy, which, I’m betting $911 was written by Rudy himself: “Rudy Giuliani…helped lead New York - and the U.S. - out of the devastation that followed the attacks on 9-11,” because, of course, 9/11 turned Rudy into the President of the United States–er President of 9/11.[...]

And “As a candidate for president, he galvanized the national debate,” which is why of course he’s still in the race for president to this day! He’s that galvanizing.

Oh, and Rudy will show ” leaders at all levels how to transform their corporate and organizational cultures—for bottom-line success and results,” by using his own financially solvent presidential campaign as a prime example.

Finally, this paragraph is worth quoting in full:

Hero and Inspiration: As someone who found himself on the frontlines of the War on Terror, Giuliani understands the grave personal price already paid to maintain freedom. Never one to shy away from a battle —at great personal risk, Giuliani almost single-handedly took on organized crime in New York—he reminds audiences that to protect freedom, eternal vigilance is necessary. His presentations become events of international repute and scope where large, enthusiastic crowds are the norm.

Jeez, what a guy. that should be committed.
