Digby: Loving Rudy Out Of The Race

Atrios says:

Rudy's going to try to make this an issue of family privacy, but to the extent his ex-wife and estranged son want to talk about the issue it's unclear what the hell that actually has to do with anything.

True, but we already know how this will be handled by Rudy and the right wing. They will follow the Cheneys gay daughter formula. If anyone brings it up, Rudy and his followers will immediately growl in the impudent reporter's face about the invasion of privacy, even if the kids and the ex are out there stumping for Hillary. They will further go out and condemn any Democrat who brings it up saying "this is not a gooood man." The press will be flummoxed and drop it. So will the Democrats. The wingnuts and the Christian Right will ignore it just as they self-servingly ignored Cheney's glaring hypocrisy about his daughter.
