Oh come on, so would Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, if they were perfectly honest.

What Rudy should really be ashamed of this time is that his Santa Barbara fundraiser ONLY raised a hundred grand. Oprah held one for Obama just a few weeks ago and raised over three mil. 'Course, everybody in Santa Barbara knows the food is better at Oprah's than at the Biltmore.

And what is with the matching ticket prices? Both fundraisers cost $2300.00 to attend, PER PERSON. Is there some Santa Barbara credit union that issues "heavy hors d’œuvre campaign reception" Visa cards in that amount?

BTW Rudy, it's a shame about the three reporters who bothered to attend your Pete Wilson presser too. Dang it, I would have paid off those reporters with a ticket to Oprah's, just to keep that endorsement quiet.

Rudy did get some good news today, though. Atrios points out that since Newt Gingrich decided not to run, "Giuliani remains the undisputed champ in the 'most wives' category."

Do something.  Hokay I wrote an entire Rudy post without once mentioning that date he keeps saying. Somebody owes me five bucks.
