Rudy Giuliani’s coat holder, Tony Carbonetti, apparently found a Washington Post reporter dumb enough to print some BS about Rudy.

Contrary to a report in the New York Post on Monday, former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani has no interest in challenging Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D) in 2010, according to his closest political associate. "He has said time and again that the Senate is not a job for him," said Tony Carbonetti.
I challenge anyone to point to single statement ever made by Rudy saying that the Senate was not a job for him.
The Washington Post reporter must not remember way back to 1999 and 2000 when Rudy was running for Senator and said nothing about the Senate not being a job for him, even when he finally withdrew fom the race.
Here;s what really happened –

In April 1999, Giuliani formed an exploratory committee in connection with the Senate run. By January 2000, Giuliani had reversed the polls situation, pulling nine points ahead after taking advantage of several campaign stumbles by Clinton.[72] Nevertheless, the Giuliani campaign was showing some structural weaknesses; so closely identified with New York City, he had somewhat limited appeal to normally Republican voters in Upstate New York.[73] The New York Police Department's fatal shooting of Patrick Dorismond in March 2000 inflamed Giuliani's already strained relations with the city's minority communities,[74] and Clinton seized on it as a major campaign issue.[74] By April 2000, reports showed Clinton gaining upstate and generally outworking Giuliani, who stated that his duties as mayor prevented him from campaigning more.[75] Clinton was now 8 to 10 points ahead of Giuliani in the polls.[74]
Then followed four tumultuous weeks, in which Giuliani's medical life, romantic life, marital life, and political life all collided at once in a most visible fashion. Giuliani discovered that he had prostate cancer and needed treatment; his extramarital relationship with Judith Nathan became public and the subject of a media frenzy; he announced a separation from his wife Donna Hanover; and, after much indecision, on May 19, 2000 he announced his withdrawal from the Senate race.
