Non Sequitur

Ron Paul gave his "Educating Rudy" press conference earlier today, giving Rudy Giuliani a reading list of foreign policy books. The response from the Giuliani campaign was striking. Quoting a Giuliani campaign spokesman from the article:

"It is extraordinary and reckless to claim that the United States invited the attacks on September 11th," Maria Comella said in an e-mail.

"And to further declare Rudy Giuliani needs to be educated on September 11th when millions of people around the world saw him dealing with these terrorist attacks firsthand is just as absurd."

This is a non sequitur of a lifetime. Does being abducted by aliens make one an expert in astronomy? Does the Giuliani campaign really think that Americans are this stupid?
