If you click on this entry's title you will find a video clip of Rudy Giuliani in drag kissing Donald Trump. Being in drag is a very fitting metaphor for Rudy because he is a political transvestite. He takes on whatever outer garments that are necessary to win political power. When he was in New York, where liberals and progressives are a real force, he painted himself as a social liberal on issues such as abortion and gay rights. Now that he is trying to win the Republican nomination he portrays himself as a conservative. Once again he is taking on the garments necessary for political power.
Democrats may laugh at Rudy's pandering, but we shouldn't write him off. Movement conservatives like the kind that were at the Conservative Political Action Conference don't care about whether their candidates are hypocrites, they just care about obtaining political power. If they think that only Rudy can stop a Democrat from winning the White House, then they will get behind him. They are more terrified of a Democrat in the White House than they are that the political transvestite will once again change his clothes.
