This week Rudy and Mitt got into it. Rudy accused Mitt of appointing a judge who is soft on hard crimes. Judge Tuttman recently released a convicted murder, who killed two of his neighbors. In response Mitt gave a statement about how he, "...can't believe that Rudy would say something like that...". Mitt's people also released a statement that the Judge was well qualified, and released the convict on the basis of bail policy, etc. Mitt's people further responded with bringing forth the police chief Rudy put into place who is now being indicted on tax fraud.
Talk about fighting fire with crap. A few things: First of all, what does it say about Mitt, that he is doing the same thing that he "couldn't believe" Rudy was doing. It says that he is just a politician. A "do whatever-it-takes" politician. It reflects poorly on him that he came back with the exact same type of dig that Rudy made on him.
Second, Mitt and Rudy are both humans. How would they know every aspect of everything going on in the heads of the people they appoint. More often than not, people in their positions don't even do the research on the appointees themselves. It isn't Rudy's fault that his police chief MAY have committed tax fraud, and Mitt probably had no idea that Judge Tuttman planned on releasing that particular convict. It is something that she has in her power to do, and she was put into that position with the understanding that she would be making decisions on her own.
Why can't we all get along.

I definitely agree with the sentiment regarding candidates fighting over who can make the other person look dumber or less competent; however, that is the game that is running for the Presidency. Rudy and Mitt have to show that they are better than each other to win those votes.
I not a big fan of when people do things like that but that is just a part of the job, I guess. At least Rudy and Mitt didn't begin their candidacy on 'hope' and 'change' and then begin to attack others when they claimed that they would have a clean campaign.
