Former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani says he believes his successor Mike Bloomberg won't run since he can't win. Somebody better tell that to Bloomberg's deputy mayor for political promotion, Kevin Sheekey. 
Meantime, in what supporters of Sen. John McCain are known to consider a patronizing gesture, Giuliani -- while campaigning in New Hampshire -- said the Arizonan would make a good adviser to him as president.
This may come as a surprise, but last month, McCain did give Rudy a little advice.
When former police commissioner Bernard Kerik was indicted on federal charges, McCain slammed Giuliani's poor judgment in pushing his longtime friend for top posts such as U.S. security secretary. On behalf of the Rudy camp, former deputy mayor Randy Mastro called attention to McCain's role in the savings and loan scandal of the 1980's. To which Team McCain pointed out that Mastro had served as an attorney for the construction firm at the center of the Kerik prosecution, a company whose owners are accused of perjury stemming from the earlier state case against Kerik.
Would Giuliani have stroked McCain as his good friend and hero once again if the latter weren't rising in the polls? Or is that too cynical a suggestion?

Once again Bernie! Rudy you bettter say once and for all he pulled the wool over your eyes and you would not even consider a pardon suchs as Bernie's crownies who work for him are wispering about, or are you because he knows too much about you? Will 5 yerars as federal convict humble Bernie? only the Shadow knows for sure.
