Washington Monthly

  • The current Washington Monthly has two articles about two differently nutty politicians: Rudy Giuliani and Lyndon LaRouche. The first article describes Giuliani's power-grabbing tendencies when mayor of NYC as evidence that he would be the most likely presidential candidate to continue the Bush administration's overreaching policies on executive power; the second describes the recent financial collapse of the political/personality cult of the eight-time presidential candidate LaRouche. I encountered several members of LaRouche's Youth Movement at a Nader talk at Harvard's JFK School of Government a few years ago, where they stood up and started singing an anti-Nader song in unison during the Q&A.
