Robert Greenwald, producer of Outfoxed, Iraq for Sale, and other outstanding progressive movies, is now working on a movie about Rudy Giuliani. On a promotional website for the film, Greenwald asks visitors to vote for Rudy’s Biggest Mistake. Watch the video.

Unfortunately, the video fails to mention aspects of Giuliani’s record that are much worse than a love for lipstick, wigs, and marrying close relatives. Giuliani has a troubling record on one of the most important issues the next president will face: the war in Iraq. Giuliani resigned from his position on the Iraq Study Group after he failed to attend a single meeting of the ISG. His absences from the ISG meetings were due to lucrative speaking engagements that ” garnered him $11.4 million in 14 months.” Giuliani’s lack of interest in or knowledge about Iraq is reflected in his misguided Iraq plan. He does not support any time-table for withdrawal and would actually support a further escalation of troops.

Hopefully, the full movie will include more about Giuliani’s policy than his personal life. Instead of focusing on Giuliani’s estranged children, the usually impressive Greenwald should be focusing on Giuliani’s estrangement from the 70% of Americans who disapprove of the war in Iraq.
