Is Rudy Giuliani really going with the imagine-you're-hiring-someone-for-a-job metaphor? The look-through-their-resumes gambit? If I'm not mistaken, Giuliani is the dude who touted this guy as Homeland Security chief. Slamming Obama's preparedness is a good idea, but Rudy might want to block that particular metaphor.
(Also, I somehow don't think this particular line from his spiel was meant as a reference to Monica Goodling, but it'd be nice all the same: "Imagine that you have two job applications in your hand, and the names and the party affiliations have been blocked out." Yes, imagine!)

Absolutely disgraceful how Rudy trashed community organizers. Who are the real elitists in this country if not the millionaire, smug bastards who will go on national TV and trash people who dedicate their lives to helping the least fortunate among us?

Having done job interviews, and being interviewed, the resume was just to get you through the door. You then had to open your mouth and speak. Because we all knew that what was on paper just indicated you had been around the sun a few times. What you said told us what you had learned and what you could do.

also, Rudy has hired lots of inexperienced people, just because he liked them. Kerik wasn't the only one by a long shot.
