At a campaign event in Florida the other day, Rudy Giuliani was confronted with a gaggle of anti-abortion protesters, who shouted: “You need to go to confession!”

Poor Rudy: he’s abstained from actually campaigning for so long that he doesn’t have time to go to confession: aside from which, he’d be in the confessional for so long that by the time he got out, it would be time for the 2012 election.
