“Could the United States, for that matter, elect a cross-dresser? The Rudy Giuliani surge would be comic if its broader implications were not so grave.”–James Carroll, Boston Globe, Oct. 29
“Rudy’s acceptance of Pat Robertson’s endorsement is equally foolish. Not only has it made utterly transparent that Giuliani isn’t just a cross dresser but also a man capable of practicing the oldest profession as well as any Jezebel . . .”–Gloria Feldt, Huffington Host, Nov. 9
” Rudy Giuliani did Hillary imitations, complete with mincing steps and effete hand gestures, looking just like the cross-dresser we know him to be.”–Stanley Fish, New York Times Web site, Nov. 11
“The old guard, Pat Robertson, has just endorsed the cross-dressing former mayor of New York to defeat what he called Islamic ‘blood lust.’ “–Andrew Sullivan, Times (London), Nov. 11
As James noted, “It’s especially sad to see Andrew Sullivan, who styles himself a champion of gay rights, resort to a rank appeal to homophobia in order to score cheap partisan points.”
