As Giuliani seeks the GOP nomination for the Presidency here is one video - when he dressed as a woman - and one audio when he got just a little angry with a representative of a ferret owners' group.
Click here for the audio. Watch the video below...
Gordon Bennet! 458,698 have viewed that video so far. When millions of conservative Republicans have seen it I would think Giuliani's candidacy could be in trouble!

Politics is a profession where it is very easy to hang yourself, even when acting out a harmless prank. Personally I can see the funny side of it but will John Doe think the same? It certainly wasn't the statesmanlike thing to do. Hillary would certainly have looked better in that dress!

I think the video is of trivial consequence. The only people who will really be offended by the idea of a would-be-CiC in drag are the people who were already turned off by Giuliani's personal life and social ideas.
Far more damaging, IMHO, is the audio, which does an awful lot for the liberal case that Giuliani is just *mean*: 'he doesn't care about you and me - he's just a snarky, malevolent New-Yorker.' That is the impression Giuliani really has to shake off in the eyes of the moderates he needs on-side to win.
Giuliani's doing very well so far at managing his perceived weaknesses - his position on the role of the Supreme Court, for example, is both highly admirable in philosophical terms, and an incredibly astute piece of politics to offset the unpopularity of his pro-choice abortion views.
If he continues that level of campaigning, these sorts of tidbits need not pose a major threat.
