All that good cancelled out with one lousy statement

This week, on the 700 Club, the Christian Broadcasting Network was raising funds to help send aid and relief to Haiti after their violent 7.0 earthquake Tuesday.

It’s hard to understand what drew the two men together. Rudy has hedged his positions on quite a few issues lately — but he has yet to suggest that New York had it coming.
