Fans of the former mayor are kicking around the prospect of their man becoming attorney general in a McCain administration or Department of Homeland Security secretary, the job that underling Bernie Kerik was up for in 2004 before the crash-and-burn came. It's the chatter of the moment, which may allow the defeated Giuliani a bit of vestigial prestige after winning a paltry 15 percent in "firewall" Florida.
If you can identify the gentleman above, you're real good.
UPDATE: Kudos to the very impressive Mr. Stanley Jackson, who nailed the ID within minutes. For the correct answer, see his comment below.
FURTHER UPDATE: And credit to Jim Kelly for his valid predictions about the fate of the campaign.

The person in the photo is AG Palmer famous for the so called Palmer raids where citizens were rounded up and accused of being communists. If Rudy were to get this position would Met fans be the next target of mass arrests or just the individuals who brought down the house of cards?
Just as I stated on this blog and others since summer that Rudy would NOT be the GOP nominee for President, here is my next statement.
The GOP/Conservative Base would never let McCain pick Rudy for AG. There is simply to much under the rug for Rudy from Kerik and so on. Rudy is a Liberal on core values.
The AG will be one of Conservative Values.
A Conservative will hold the AG position as President Bush did with John Aschoff.
In job is a "Stake Position"....Position goes to the base.

I brought this idea up (Rudy for AG) to a Washington insider who started to laugh. Stating Rudy could never cut muster with the Senate Hearing for nomination for AG.
