From a piece by Michael Tomasky, The Guardian’s man in Washington, on Rudy’s lie-filled smearing of socialized medicine:

Giuliani's hypocrisy with regard to this ad doesn't end with the fake statistics. As Joe Conason noted on www.Salon.com, Giuliani was at the time of his treatment the mayor of New York and enrolled in a nonprofit health maintenance organisation for government employees — that is, mini-socialised medicine. And as Ezra Klein noted on Comment is free, the treatment that saved Giuliani was developed in Denmark — which, as Klein drolly notes, "is both in Europe and has a universal healthcare system."
