I’ve made no secret of the fact that I am not a backer of Rudy Giuliani for the presidency – and I’ve acknowledged my concerns over his personal life.

But when Howard Dean raises such issues, IÂ’m stunned by the hypocrisy.

Democratic party chairman Howard Dean said on Thursday that Rudy Giuliani "personal life is a serious problem."

Dean sent the warning on CNN's SITUATION ROOM with host Wolf Blitzer.

Chariman Dean said the former New York City Mayor "has a lot of character issues that he has to answer for. And overwhelmingly, Americans are going to vote on honesty and integrity.... We've begun to reach out to evangelical Christians, and that's a real problem for him. His personal life is a serious problem for him."

BLITZER: Well, describe those character issues...

DEAN: No, I'm not going to get into that stuff. I don't like attacking people on their personal lives, but I can assure you that in the Republican primary, given what went on in the 2000 Republican primary in South Carolina between George Bush and John McCain, those attacks will be made in the Republican Party.

For this to come from the leader of the party of Barney Frank, Gerry Studds, Ted Kennedy, and Bill Clinton is rather shocking. After all, Giuliani has never let a prostitution service run out of his home, had sex with a teenage page, left a woman to drown in his car after diving drunk, or committed perjury about his sex life. After all, the familial sins of Rudy Giuliani don't hold a candle to theirs.
