Rudy
has found a new theme. He had cancer and he's going to use it argue
against Hillary's health care plan. The only problem, he's not telling
the truth according to Paul Krugman. Prostates and Prejudices - New York Times.
“My chance of surviving prostate cancer — and thank God I was cured of it — in the United States? Eighty-two percent,” says Rudy Giuliani in a new radio ad attacking Democratic plans for universal health care. “My chances of surviving prostate cancer in England? Only 44 percent, under socialized medicine.” It would be a stunning comparison if it were true. But it isn’t. And thereby hangs a tale — one of scare tactics, of the character of a man who would be president and, I’m sorry to say, about what’s wrong with political news coverage."
