When Pots/Kettles Attack

Here is an awesome exchange between Guiliani and Romney on immigration

Giuliani, the front-runner in national polls, accused Romney of employing illegal immigrants at his home and running a “sanctuary mansion.” The testy personal exchange came after Romney said Giuliani had retained New York’s status as a sanctuary city while he was mayor.

Romney said it would “not be American” to check the papers of workers employed by a contractor simply because they have a “funny accent.” He had landscapers at his Belmont, Mass., home who turned out to be in the country illegally.

Giuliani shot back, calling Romney’s attitude “holier than thou.”

“Mitt usually criticizes people when he usually has the far worse record,” Giuliani said.

The audience, however, booed Giuliani as he tried to persist in his criticism of Romney

Were these two other people I might feel sorry for them. Basically they made a good faith effort to think of rational immigration policy when they were elected officials, and now to get elected they have to pretend that the answer to the immigration is just to be really mean to immigrants. Huckabee seems unwilling to run away from his good decision making on immigration, but these two don’t have the courage.

A few comments 1) Everyone is holier than Guiliani so he needs find a new cliche, 2) What kind of audience boos someone for being full of shit, in order to defend someone else that is equally full of shit
