A thought from TPM Reader RC ...

I noticed several similarities between Rudy Guiliani's performance after the 9/11 attacks and Crandall Creek Mine owner Robert Murray's performance after his mine caved in.

Rudy had the guts to go to Ground Zero and talk to the media while rescue workers dug through rubble in the background. Likewise, Murray had the guts to go right down into the bowels of his mine and talk to the media while rescue workers dug through rubble in the background. Both men came across as don't-worry-everything's-under-control-type guys. Both were very reassuring.

Here's my question: If Guiliani's performances in front of the media's cameras and microphones following 9/11 were sufficient to qualify him to be our president, then didn't Murray's recent performances in front of the media's cameras and microphones at least qualify him to be our vice-president?

How about a Guiliani/Murray ticket?

Just an idea.
