For Giuliani, perhaps the most helpful aspect of the letter is that it is a shield against any future attacks or questions about why he didn’t sign the American’s for Tax Reform pledge. Does anybody care to wager on whether Norquist’s statement that “You are the most successful tax cutter in modern New York history and, on balance, the most successful tax cutter in the Republican field today” will supplant the George Will quote in future debates as Giuliani’s most-repeated citation?
