The Curse Of The Goombah

First Nussle, then Ravenel, now Vitter: Giuliani’s political touch seems to have the odd side-effect of getting his staff hired (into a collapsing administration), indicted or implicated in scandal.  In other Giuliani news, Norman Podhoretz himself has been named as a “senior foreign policy advisor.”  Now we know what Giuliani means when he says he wants to “keep us on offense.”  He means it quite literally, as in, “let’s have some more offensive wars.”
