Benito Giuliani

The Lew Rockwell blog has taken to calling "Rudy" Benito Giuliani and I can’t think of a good reason why not.

Here’s Thomas DiLorenzo’s latest entry.

Benito had a hard time at the NRA debate last night, trying to explain
why, as mayor of NYC, he sued gun manufacturers for being "accomplices"
in NYC crime. His defense: He didn’t like the direction the lawsuit
eventually went in. And oh yeah, there was lots of crime in the city.
According to Benito’s logic it’s OK to sue gun manufacturers for the
misuse of their products, or swimming pool manufacturers for drownings
that occur, or baseball bat manufacturers, automobile manufacturers,
silverware producers, or the makers of any other inanimate object that
is ever used in a crime, as long as the lawsuit goes "in the right
direction."

Or, you know, as long as you can get things to run on time.
