Rudy Giuliani plays defense on 'Press'


To the glee of fellow presidential contenders, the Republican front-runner spent nearly an hour playing defense, attempting to deflect a flurry of questions about his relationship with indicted pal Bernard Kerik and Kerik's mistress Judith Regan, controversial corporate clients and his own tangled personal life.


The usually combative candidate was uncharacteristically subdued throughout the grilling. Somberly dressed in a dark suit, white shirt and red tie, Giuliani employed many of the timeworn techniques of damage control. He turned the tables on his inquisitor - "that's a stretch," he politely complained once - and borrowed from the Watergate scandal's signature "mistakes were made" rationale.


"As one of my predecessors, Fiorello LaGuardia, used to say, ‘I don't make many mistakes, but when I make them, they're big ones.'"


---Articles like the one above are just ridiculus in my opinion. Why should the candidates have to deal with everyone in their personal business and lives? This just reminds me of the situation with former president Bill Clinton. Giuliani has his own ife apart from his campaign and it should not matter whether or not he had an affair. Him doing that shouldn't affect what he can do for our country.
