Tonight: America's Mayor and America's Neologizing Comedian

[Update: The video's available at the new post.]

Lucky me, I've gotten my hands on a ticket to tonight's Manhattan fundraiser for Rudy Giuliani, hosted by Dennis Miller.

Miller has been transmitting an unambigious message lately that his support would (and that all of our support should) be won by whatever candidate is most likely to "stay frosty on the Islamo-fascists" so it's not terribly surprising that he's planted himself in Rudy's corner.  Back in January, Miller called for a McCain-Giuliani ticket, but just yesterday he upgraded Rudy to the top spot.  Mumblings around town suggest it'll be tonight that Giuliani upgrades his own status from exploratory to official.  We'll see.  One way or another, it should make for an amusing evening with Miller as emcee.

I'll plan to post a few pictures and a recap tonight.

Meanwhile, take a minute to bask in Miller's 1-on-4 partiotic chiding of the intelligentsia of daytime television.

Update:   Just returned from the event.  Allow me some time to upload and cut together the video (and to digest the 5 Yankee Stadium hot dogs I put away) and we'll have some multimedia on which to feast our senses.  In short, Miller was his loquaciously amusing self, while Rudy poured on the inspiration to a highly receptive home team crowd.  I don't know if it qualifies as an official upgrade of candidacy, but the final two words of Rudy's speech, regarding whether or not he'll run, were an unequivocal, "I will."
