Today policy switch-hitter John McCain went to a Yankees game with 9/11 mascot Rudy Giuliani. Rudy insists he’s not introducing McCain to the Yankees lineup to curry favor as a VP possibility. (Maybe Attorney General, but so what?) 
I documented Rudy’s Yankees fetish and love of power symbols as part of his megalomaniac bully complex for my upcoming film, RUDY & ME, part of the ‘Dude Trilogy’ as I will call it.
While still cutting the Ohio epic that would break into the separate docs FREE FOR ALL! and PAY 2 PLAY, I was also following Rudy’s campaign, interviewing his old rivals in New York, and revisiting my cable access comedy show that sparred with him in the late 90’s, Toolz of the New School.
Once Rudy’s campaign dissolved in a tidal wave of un-enthusiasm, I set RUDY & ME aside to follow up after the 2008 race. But as he now eyes the New York Governor’s Mansion, you better believe I’m eager to get back to work.
Rudy: We’ve had this date with each other from the beginning.*
