But what of the heavy breathing over Thompson's Jesus credentials or, weirder still, Brownback's--a man so ostentatiously devout I feel the urge to genuflect every time I see him on C-SPAN. The answer to this puzzle lies in who most notably is not getting tarred in this religious war: Rudy Giuliani.
