Rudy Giuliani: Took Phone Call From Wife...Because of 9/11
By Nicole Belle Thursday Sep 27, 2007 6:05pm
Shameless...
Rudy Giuliani is now saying that he took a cell phone call from his wife in the middle of a speech last week because of--wait for it--September 11. Of course.
Giuliani also addressed a cell phone call he took from his wife, Judith, last week during his speech to the National Rifle Association...
"And quite honestly, since Sept. 11, most of the time when we get on a plane, we talk to each other and just reaffirm the fact that we love each other," he said.

9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/119/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, ....sqwak sqwak
Rudy should stick to cross-dressing
Sadly, that myopic audience fell for his stunt.
Doesn't he realize that that makes the timing of the call about 1,000 times more suspicious? lol
I have to say, when I first heard this, it made me gag and totally proved that inside this man is a total ass.
Didn't he learn this from Lois on Family Guy?
What kind of sick SOB is advising him. And $9.11 for a fundraising meal? This is a sick joke, right?
This is getting as shameful as Romney's "newfound" conservative values.
Wasn't Rudy married to someone else on 9/11?
Before 911 Ghouliani was an unpopular mayor, Ghouliani was nothing before 911 therefore he must cling to 911 like grim death.
Did I say 911? 911.
Oh Lord... Please take him and his mindless supporters and co-conspirators of his criminal actions leading up to and including 911 and beyond away from this beautiful planet of ours.
Aw christ. What a lying sack. I'll bet he wears the diapers in the house...
I think I'm gonna be sick...blarghhhh!
nkd @ 8:
Yeah, I think he had three wives since then, but I dunno... it's kinda hard to keep track.
Rudy shouldn't be made fun of ... !!
He has a medical disorder called "911 Tourette's Syndrome"
Wait a minute. Lets say he is telling the truth. Doesn't this then show how afraid he is in this day and age? He's a scaredy cat.
What a transparent jerk. When will Americans wise up to his game?
Dr. Matt @ 1:
Love this Dr. Matt. Words presently escape me, so I'll just stick with what a f#*king schmo. Why isn't he even embrrassed? (I am and I'm home alone.)
"...And by plane, I mean stage. And by stage, I mean 9/11. Also, 9. And 11. So, 9/11."
Does Guiliani think that most Repubs are nothing more than Pavlov dogs - if they start to doubt Rudy's candidacy, just give them a 9-11 stimulus and they start salivating once again?
Well, uh, I guess since he in the lead, most Repugs really are that simple-minded and easy to manipulate...
Cythraul @ 18:
911 was staged?
Pathetic. If this is the best the GOP has, Dukakis wins, McGovern wins, Mondale wins, Ferraro wins....
Dr. Matt @ 1:
Actually, 911 made that more important to him, too.
Where were you when they built the ladder to heaven?
Did it make you feel like cryin', or did you think it was kind of gay?
Well I, for one, believe in the ladder to heaven.
Oh yeah yeah yeah. 9-11
I said 9-11, 9-11, 9-11, Ni-hi, hi-hine___
Eleven.

Duh...
Isn't that sweet!
He and Tookums need to talk lovey to each other whenever he rides an airplane because riding airplanes is a death-defying exercise, at least as dangerous as combat in Baghdad, since 9/11. And they need to do this in the middle of his speeches. And how utterly cynical of you to scoff! The man deserves a Congressional Medal of Honor, clearly, for not letting the terrorists win by scaring him off of flying in airplanes.
The whole thing is bullshit. I don't call my significant other when I know he will be busy at work. SHE had to know where he was. They have a freakin schedule for these events.
Rudu Giuliani takes a dump because of 9/11!
If people Americans swallow this bullshit readily, we've indeed crossed the threshold of idiocy one more time.
What a 9/11 whore.
Wait - if she was calling him just before she got on a plane, then why did he say he'd call her back after the debate? You can't call people who are on a plane.
By the way, the phone call was set-up - guaranteed he asked his wife to call while he was giving the presentation. Rudy is trying to cement his "family life" to the gullible Repugs - particularly the gullible NRA members.
The man is an utter tool.
PLEASE do not allow this man to be the next pResident.
He also took a crap this morning, because of 9/11...
And his wife Judith (DON'T CALL ME JUDY) banged her
personal trainer Armando this morning at 9:11 AM
at 911 First avenue in Suite 911, all because of 9/11...
Nothing in Rudy's life happens, except for the intervention of
9/11!
I lived in NYC during the Giuliani era and he was a great Mayor, if you were white. He was the right guy for NYC at that time. But, the qualities that made him so perfect for NYC are the same ones that would make him a disaster as a President.
As for the phone thing. I was in NYC on 9/11. I watched Tower 2 fall as I tried to find my wife in the chaos. I understand the need to pick up the phone when your wife calls. I do the same thing. Though now we have a code where if I need to I'll ignore the call. If she calls back immediately I know something is wrong.
BUT, the timing of his call is a total douche move.
What a dick. And what do you say about "Jude" for marrying a dick.
Shephen, if you can't refrain from taking phone calls during a speech, then don't give speeches. That is BEYOND rude.
This seems to happen a lot:

Perfect candidate for GOP voters.
Lori,
Agreed. You shouldn't take them in restaurants, churches, or movies either.
Interpreter of Maladies @ 30:
Exactly. 9/11 made him a rich man.
Fucking guy figured out years ago that all he has to do is say "9/11" in front of a room full of people, and it puts $50-100 grand in his bank account.
Barf alert ...OH PLEASE
GOP supporters probably bought it. Thought, "see, he's a mans man and cares about the lil lady."
He only did this for one reason:
To give us and the craptacular media something to talk about other than...! Wait for it...The fact that he was once a leading opponent of assault weapons and now here he is at an NRA fundraising whatsimajigger. He has to rationalize his complete 180 on this matter with the fact that his position changed after...wait for it...wwwwwait for it....9/11! But he can't have us talking about what a flaming, flip-flopping, pandering, butthead of a PHONY he is, so he gives us this stupid phone call.
He's a pussy AND a douche bag. "My wife might be being murdered by terrorists right this minute, I better take this call." I guess that means if the nation is under attack, Douchbag expects to get the news from his homewrecking-wife. 2 douchbags.
Bonkers @ 43:
He's not giving these speeches to us. He's giving them to "the base" and they are lapping it up. All we can do is scream, shout, and say, can't you see what he's pulling on you idiots!
Gag me with a spoon!!!!!!
Agreed Stephen. :-)

Watch the video...Guiliani has a a clairvoyant moment, suspecting it is a call from his wife as he reaches into his pocket...before he can look at the caller ID. This wasn't about 9/11...he doesn't ask if everything is all right...he doesn't do this in front of editorial boards or during Meet the Press...its clearly a stunt for the benefit of women voters who might think Rudy a cad.
cadmus@48
Uh...
http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=17d_1190445851&p=1
It was a gimmick.
B
Giggly Annie is a magician.
Not as impressive as the towers trick but still, how the hell did he 'know' that was his wife?
Amazing. Simply Amazing.
Shit, I need to look at the screen first to see the call-in number on my Nokia. Then I decide if to answer or not. Could be a bill collector or Department of Homeland Security. Never know. Gotta be careful these days.
Maybe, next he'll take up ventriloquism with his hand already up 'W's ass.
please pass the puke bucket, errrp gaghhh janeiana can eat shit and die!
oh did i say please!

Bwaaa ha hah hah hah!!!
Which wife was it?
#1- the one that is also his cousin
#2- the one that had a court order barring him from entry into the Governor's mansion
#3- the one his children refuse to speak with
Such complexity from the Family Values Party.
What a pig's ass.
This is flat out sick. We need to investigate Rudy's actual role on 9/11 and call out his hypocrisy anytime we hear it. Damn it is sick to use this event as a political tool like that.
Sheeit, You know I need 50K in cash and it is all because of 9/11. I have been overcome by the fear mongering and I really it to build a bomb shelter and lots of guns. Think Guillani will give it to me.
I think it's cute that Giiuliani calls his wife to check the status of their love. After all he wouldn't want to be married to her one second longer than necessary. It's important to check these things out frequently. Who knows when it will be time for number four. By the way, has anyone else noticed the common thread among all his wives? I think it's obvious that a key selection criteria is that they all take the same dress size as him.
someone needs to come up with a rejoinder for squawking "9/11!!!!"
there has to be a defense for that logic.
bushater @ 14:
Oh gawd, LOL!
Are you sure he wasn't calling his wife to say he was going to miss the next debate where "black people" may be attending or asking him questions?
I ask where is the immediate ads... "if they can't attend debates with AMERICANS who might disagree with them for some percieved reason, how can you think they will be able to deal with Al Qaeda?" Use their pathological fear against them.
When Rudy jerks off, it's because of 9/11. Actually, he probably gets wood when he thinks of 9/11!
How many times can this guy jump the same shark?
This is the GOP front runner.... heaven help us. This country must be populated by a pack of mindless morons. I guess we already knew that.
Mr President. Mr President They are bombin..."hold on, my wife is calling, hold that thought."
Why does Guiliani take shit? 9/11
oh no, he didn't! What an ass.
And so it continues.....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lDZjiPok3w
And to think, this guy is currently leading among Republican candidates. If this guy is the best that the Rethugs have to offer I am greatly encouraged about the next election. Now if we can just get rid of some of those Blue Dogs and not elect one for President.
I wouldn't be surprised if there actually wasn't even anyone on the phone.
on 911 he was cheating on his wife...
what is the deal with gop
bunch of sick desperate nut jobs..
Let's see: This, and the fundraiser charging $9.11. When's he going to change his name to..., you guessed it, 9/11?
Rudy's the biggest phony. He has campaign interns call his phone to memory hole his serial groom past to make the marks think he's a "family man"
This reminds me of that scene in the movie "Being John Malkovich" when John Malkovich himself goes into the portal that connects into his mind. All all he sees, says, and hear is "Malkovich, malkovich? maaaaalkovich"
I guess the sequel for this movie should be "Being Rudy Guiuliani", except that now all we hear is "911, 911? 911, 911, 911"
Lets give Rudy Mussolini an ASScadamy award for his not so brilliant job of acting competent.
Oh man, that was sloppy. Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy politically. Just a real screw up.
What idiot answers his cell phone will he's C-Span? And has a conversation with her?
With his hot little trophy wife? That was SO awkward.
You shouldn't even carry your cell phone with in big speeches like this. Bad move, Rudy. Bad move. Make it easier for the Democrats to win with blithering fool.
Too bad with cell phones you can't hear a dial tone...
and this guy is a front runner time to send him to the end of the line
Too bad cell phones don't work on most planes...which, I feel, blows a huge hole in the 9/11 theory that calls were made on cell phones from the planes. Some carriers have recently installed wireless capabilities on larger planes like 777's, but think about this technology being available on 757's in 2001. And how many cell calls can you make on the GROUND without disruption? Now consider making a clear call at 5,000+ feet. Next time, leave your cell phone on during the flight just to see how good the reception is...
9/11...total inside job.
Wonder how much of a kickback Rudy got from BushCo and Silverstein for getting their mess at WTC cleaned up so fast. So fast in fact that investigators never got to look at much. Only what the FEMA guys would bring out to them. Still wish someone would have the gonads to ask Rudy how it was he had foreknowledge of towers coming down anyways ?
Vlad just seems too emotionally scarred and unhinged by 9/11 to be an effective administrator. Somebody get him a padded room, mebbe.
Giuliani reminds me of the penguin from batman.
bushater @ 14:
"Okay! Shoot you later. 9/11."
Rudy and George are turning "9/11" into a verb.
The Carpenter @ 5:
Every time he mentions 9/11 I think of Lois Griffen.
I suspect he's the one spamming all those penis enlargement Emails.
As a conservative, I find this man repulsive and not at all in keeping with what I believe. The fact this guy can be the leading nominee for the republican party says it all about just how stupid the majority of republicans are these days.
Balanced budgets? Naa.. lower taxes? Naa.. Civil Liberties? Naa.. Smaller government?.. Naa... Obeying the constitution? Naa.. that's all wimps stuff..
Torture and nukes? HELL YEAH!! *Rolls eyes*
It sounds to me like his wife was worried about him being up there in front of a room full of gun-toting Republicans. That is at least as dangerous as flying in a plane with Arab nationals over here on student visas. Remember Oklahoma City?
He should be ineligible on the pansy factor alone.
I didn't follow any of the links (sorry, no time right now). But they were probably pointing out that he's used this trick at other speeches. What a complete and utter phony. No one would be at a major speech and take a call from his wife. Like the rest of us, you get off the plane and make the call. If you get the other person's voice mail, you leave a voice mail. This is just utter bull!!!!!
rduke @ 10:
Aman!
What!? He wasn't even married to his prize whore in 2001!
Isn't this a repeat post? I already read his quote about 9/11. What did we expect? Its hard to imagine the possibility of a president WORSE than George Bush, but Guiliani could be it... another slimey piece of shit only dumber.
And just this morning we hear that his good buddy was the one who tried to get an initiative going in California that would have split the electoral votes - guaranteeing that Republicans would have taken California. Rudy of course, denied all knowledge of the scheme, just as he denied all knowledge of the $9.11 price tag on one of his fundraisers.
Quick!! Where's my bucket??! I feel I need to puke!!
next staged phone call, rudy should have that trombone sound like the teacher in charlie brown cartoons. that is the only thing that could make this lame trick even funnier.
wahp wahp wahp wahp, wahp wahp wha.
maybe we should just all vote for Ron Paul.
Cadmus @ 49:
That's because (drum roll): He IS a cad! Think he interrupted any speeches to take gooey phone calls from Donna Hanover? Of course not. Donna was too intelligent to do something stupid like that. She's better off without him, and so will the country be if voters get smart and don't vote for the cad.
Oh cmon, this is lame. So what. He took a phone call. You fuckin libs are grasping for straws.
Just what we need...another liberal rant bashing everyone but obama and hillary(or 'face of all evil' as i like to refer to her)
get lives people...go try and get laid or something
[...] read more | digg story [...]
[...] off a plane? Both times? Were the calls really from his wife? Prove it. Release the phone bill, Rudyread more | digg [...]
Another great blessing of the modern age is radio interoperability, but I guess Rudy didn't think it worth while to invest in that. People, I'm from New York State, and I can tell you that this man has nothing to offer you but fear itself. You would be foolish to think he would make a good president, let alone a better president than Bush. Believe it or not, he can be just as opportunistic as Bush, and could potentially be worse. Do not trust him with your life for one second. (Don't trust him with your wife, either, for that matter.)
Mike @ 102:
Jake @ 101:
you have GOT to be kidding, right? you can't POSSIBLY be THAT naive. this man has a scheduled speech in front of the NRA and his wife just HAPPENS to call while he's speaking, as if she had no idea? and THEN he says that it was because of 9/11?!
is it any wonder how our country is in the shape it's in right now?
Watch the video…Guiliani has a a clairvoyant moment, suspecting it is a call from his wife as he reaches into his pocket…before he can look at the caller ID.
Maybe his wife is the only person who ever calls him...?
"I think it's my wife calling." You think? You knew before the speech it was going to be her. It's a double shot - 1) set up for another 9/11 reference 2) remind everyone that he's a good ol' wholesome married family man.
Transparent as transparent gets.
milquetoast @ 25:
watch "loose change"
What's really sweet is they started calling each other on 9/11 when he was still married to wife number 2.
Can't some talented hacker, or investigative reporter, find out, through phone records, exactly what phone number called asshole face's phone at that exact time?
Does he take phone calls during the speeches where he's making $100,000 (or whatever he makes) or just the speeches that aren't that important to him? I'm no fan of the NRA but his behavior was very rude. What does he mean by "it's better this way" if he takes the call? Is Judith going to check up on him in cabinet meetings?
[...] presidential candidate who cannot see the error in taking phone calls from his wife while in the middle of a speech is not a man who should have his finger on any trigger. The pathology which leads a man to view his [...]
