So how's that "big state strategy" working out for you?
CNN has learned that top staff members of Rudy Giuliani's presidential campaign were asked to work without pay for the month of January, and perhaps longer, so that campaign resources could be focused on the Florida Republican presidential primary.
Two sources in the campaign, speaking on condition of anonymity, insisted the campaign was not in dire financial straits. A third campaign source, however, said "things are starting to get tight" and that "it was more telling than asking" the senior staff to forgo paychecks beginning the first of the year.
I take it as an encouraging sign that Giuliani's campaign is on the way out. Despite the fact that I once thought he might be the best candidate for the Democrats to run against, given his impressively large and overflowing skeleton closet, I'd just as soon see him bow out early so there's less chance of him trying out his authoritarian tendencies.
"Freedom is about authority. Freedom is about the willingness of every single human being to cede to lawful authority a great deal of discretion about what you do."
Yeah, that's exactly the kind of thing I learnt about freedom in school. Great lines like, "Give me liberty! so I can cede it to the government and they can tell me what to do!"
Yep! No dictatorial tendencies there at all. /snark.
Of course, according to Jonah Goldberg, that would be his latent liberalism coming through.
