When God-o-Meter saw Rudy Giuliani sitting Mike Huckabee-like by a Christmas tree and donning a Huckabeesque red sweater in his new “Holiday Wishes” ad, it naturally thought Giuliani was copping a play from the former Arkansas Governor’s playbook. But Giuliani spokesperson Maria Comella tells God-o-Meter that’s not the case: “[The ad] was taped several weeks ago at the same time as several other ads. So it’s not inspired or in reaction to Huckabee’s spot.” Unlike Huckabeee’s Christmas spot, Giuliani’s makes no explicit mention of Christ’s birth and features no cross-like imagery. God-o-Meter is raising his rating anyway.
