Rudy's Thugs

The small man in search of a balcony, like all two-bit bullies, has the usual thuggish security detail. And he doesn't like being forced to respond to allegations about his shady past:

“We’ve already explained it,” he said, walking past reporters after a town hall meeting. Giuliani, who is normally friendly to reporters, bristled past them, and campaign staffers were unusually physical in keeping the press away. Several campaign aides told campaign reporters to return to the press area, and some of his security detail manhandled reporters.

If his goons act like this on a minor issue in a primary campaign, can you imagine how he'd handle his police powers as president?
