Rudy Giuliani is lucky to be running in a Republican race marked by ambivalence and uncertainty, but is engaged in a substantial gamble which I do not believe will pan out. He's Mr. 9/11, and does not attempt to skirt around that title; he does everything within his power to reinforce it.However, I don't believe that his camp... More..

Entertainment > Hollywood & Movie Industry Has Hollywood run out of ideas: 10 of 40
