Comments on: Giuliani’s weak response to why he blew off the ISG. http://thinkprogress.org/2007/06/20/giulianis-weak-response-to-why-he-blew-off-the-isg/ Thu, 26 Nov 2009 11:57:12 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: lestatdelc http://thinkprogress.org/2007/06/20/giulianis-weak-response-to-why-he-blew-off-the-isg/comment-page-1/#comment-3870288 lestatdelc Wed, 20 Jun 2007 23:57:29 +0000 http://edit.thinkprogress.org/2007/06/20/giulianis-weak-response-to-why-he-blew-off-the-isg/#comment-3870288 And as some commentators over at TPM also noted, Rudy was given the ultimatum by the ISG to begin showing up to the meetings or be kicked off the ISG. In other words, the idea of leaving voluntarily didn’t initiate with him. He was going to be canned from it and simply resigned first. His lame spin would be like Wolfowitz claiming that he was leaving the World Bank because he wasn’t able to commit the time for the gig. It’s laughable.

When a GOP candidate is slammed in front of The Corner (National Review), it is pretty bad for that candidate. Even though Jonah probably does not like me - I did give him a hat tip over at Angrybear. Even Jonah Goldberg has noted Greg’s takedown.
