Bring out your dead! Bring out your dead!
Apparently, despite any protestation Rudy might give of feeling better, The Weekly Standard's William "The Bloody" Kristol has decided that Giuliani's presidential campaign is no more. And the reason? That Rudy has been running solely on being the 9/11 guy.
Of course, with Kristol's track record of being right--somewhere well south of the Mendoza line--I don't know if Rudy needs to worry about packing up those lawn signs just yet...but it is satisfying to see Rudy's unofficial public relations firm--FOX News--decide that it's over for "America's Mayor."

bill needs a friend!will you be bills friend?
Rallying around Romney?
Perhaps the Republican Politburo has decided that it is time for the maximal effort to stop Huckabee. And perhaps that involves concentrating on one candidate as the firewall against Huckabee. Look's like Giuliani ain't that candidate, perhaps because they're trying to throw the Jesus freaks some sort of bone.
I think Faux noise should create an hour long show featuring Willy Kristol and John Bolton, and call it the Nihilist Hour.
Kristol's afraid Rudy is pretending to be a "populist".
That would threaten the completion of the number 1 job on the Neocon's agenda. To reverse the shift of the distribution of wealth in this country from rich to poor.
Given that Kristol is wrong about, well, everything (he's like Dick Morris in that regard), shouldn't Rudy feel comforted by this? This could mean a surge in his numbers is around the corner! Take heart, Rudy!
"he has lots of interesting ideas" = he wants to bomb Iran.
Giulaini would have been much better running as a democrat like he used to in the 70's.
If Giuliani suckers enough people to get the nomination, I think the single biggest hurt that will be put on him will come from the NY firefighters, since those accusations cut the legs out from under him on the sole issue that Giuliani is running on, 9/11.
If he gets the nod, maybe the word 'firemanning' will join the vernacular, to accompany 'swift-boating.'
But, where swift-boat is now a synonym for dishonest sliming, maybe to 'fire-man' someone will become synonomous with holding someone accountable for their past failures in time of crisis.
I put the NY Firefighter and 'Real Rudy' videos on my blog, but they can also be easily found at You Tube.

No matter what. If Hillary get's the nomination, you can be sure it's going to galvanize and mobilize the idiots in this country to vote against the best interests of this county.
Kristol dismisses Rudy for president while perpetuating the myth that Rudy was a great mayor and a hero on 9/11. Typical propaganda crap about repeating the same lie over and over until it becomes commonly accepted as fact. BTW, Reagan was a great president. F-ing NOT.
Well, I'd also written off Rudy but I'll say this: William Kristol is to political punditry what the Weekly World News was to newspaper journalism. Has this neo-con bozo ever been right about a single freakin' thing!?
If Kristol says it's over for Giuliani, maybe the old cross-dresser still has a shot.
Well, that guarantees that Giuliani will be the repub nominee.
I trust Kristol's analysis to be right on,
right on the opposite of what will happen.
Yes Rudy, let's fill potholes with 911 debris, complete with human body parts.
Oh and get those thermite cut steel beams outta here pronto!

All but the "unelectable" candidates in this election seem to be against our interests. A few of the Democratic candidates play lip service to progressive ideas just as Romney and Guiliani play lip service to their conservative base but in action so few have done anything real in all their years of public service that actually showed legitimate interest in serving the public good.
Ol' Bloody Bill is the George Costanza of punditry. He should say the opposite of whatever he really thinks, and then instead of being a complete fool people would be in awe of his wisdom and insight.

Very low income, couldn't afford $100, but sent $25.
Bill LOVES 9/11!!! My favorite video on YouTube is called "PNAC Founder William Kristol Heckled in Austin". He even "explains" the whole New Pearl Harbor concept in it too.
Maybe if Rudy campaigned in drag he could fire up the base.

So does he now support Mitt, the Mighty Morphin' Mormon?
Well I guess that settles it... if Kristol says he's a dead candidate, then it looks like we're stuck with Rudy as our next president!
TimV @ 21:
no way!
huck huckabee/ted nugent 08!
christ and bullets for a better america!
Hmmm, me thinks this is nothing more than Fox News letting their viewers know that Giuliani's popularity in the polls is waning and that they need their audience to get the word out and help him.
Of course, this is cleverly disguised as looking like William The Bloody is saying something deragotory about Fox's wet dream candidate.
....the Mendoza line.
nice reference on a cold winters day.
I wonder what the chick with the huge buggy freakshow eyes (they freak me out, every time) thought about it?
9iu11ani for President!
Why, why, why ...does this person have ANY air time???
He is intellectually unworthy of our least attention.
bill might
be right
arrrrrrrrrrrrgggghhh
splat
something
sticked on the wall
heh...
What's Kristol trying to do, pick a fight with Sean Hannity?
TimV @ 20:
I thought Fred Thompson was the dead candidate. He looks dead anyway.
not a good week for America's cousin-diddler
Has he just noticed the constant 9/11 stuff?
Too funny, they have a Mormon flip-flopper, an adulterous ego-maniac, and a Baptist televangelist. Guess they decided to throw some shit against the wall and see what stuck. Scared much?
deathskull kristol must feel he wouldnt be able to sufficiently control rudy.
RATS DESERTING A SINKING SHIP.
Hold on C&L...
Mario Mendoza was a fine ball player. Slick fielding, good off the bench/utility and a decent hitter who finished with a .215 lifetime BA. There are hundreds of ball players who have a lower career BA.
A Pittsburgh Pirate for many years and upstanding community member Mr. Mendoza has been good natured about a wrongful comparison to being tagged the worst/wrong at something.
Leave Mario alone.
As for 'lil Billy... as always, Fuck 'em!
Wow! Maybe "The Bloody" didn't get the memo. He has effectively killed Rudy for FOX veiwers. Bye Bye Rudy.
Israel wants McCain now that the NIE has discredited Norman Podhoretz, Rudy's foreign policy advisor. Israel believes that McCain will go after Iran.
Bill Kristol is a worthless smug piece of crap! He should be tortured as he has tortured the rest of us. Why does that pinhead moron even have a job? He is unqualified to walk erect.
Rudy sucks, and his shiny head is like looking at the sun. Too damn bright!
I can't believe I find myself in agreement with William the Bloody. I think this "running on his past record, no future agenda" analysis is a good one, that I had not thought of before. Also, Bloody alludes to Giuliani's biggest achilles heel, that being his monumental ego and vanity, which results in scandals like ShagGate. What happened to the Faux Noise wall of support for Giuliani? Is it crumbling? Who on earth would they support instead? Would they back Romney because he sounds like a conservative now, even though it's the result of massive flip-flops from just a few years ago? Will Cheney resign for health reasons and Jeb Bush take his place and then run as the sitting VP? It's interesting to watch them shoot each other in a circular firing squad.
Bloody Bill Kristol! Warmonger.
Yeah, I like that. Has kinda a ring to it.
Bloody Bill is only a top feeding minnow on this. The mudsuckers haven't really began to feed on Mr. 9/11.
And for Bloody bill, (who thought of Pop Ciulture that Shia and Sunni could get along) is now gone on to be an expert on Rudy?
Watch out for fiery Fred Thompson, or grandpa McCain. Then there are the Godles ones Mitt and Huck.
Where is Jeb Nush and Newt? Comedy Central would really have a blast with them.
Damn! And I thought Giuliani's campaign was dead...!
L.A. Confidential @ 9:
As if Hillary is in the best interests of the country. Do you think before you type? Rudy or Hillary would at best more of the same. This country would be hard pressed to survive more of the same, much less the tragedy the would be either presidency of those two. The best hope for this country out of the choices we currently have are Ron Paul and, though I disagree with him on most issues but have faith in the man, Dennis Kucinich.
Every time I see Bill Kristol, it makes me proud to be an Earlham grad. Still, I hardly needed his word to deem Giuliani's candidacy DOA. It seems to me that almost every Republi-fraud is DOA when it comes to the general election. The GOP has given its members the choice between a Mormon, an adulterer, a mediocre actor, and the father of a dog-torturer. This general election is going to be a gas.
Jason @ 44:
How about a Paul-Kucinich independent ticket?
If Rudy could answer a question with out referring to 9/11 I would vote for him.
But he ca't. So I wont.
/Ron Paul 2008
who gives a shit about KKKrispy or fux?
lewisnclark @ 11:
The Weekly World News contains some actual, legitimate news stories. Of course, they're re-written in a sensationalist, ridiculously over-the-top manner. Maybe more like the Globe.
As the old saying goes, Bloody Billy doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground. He's never been reich about anything yet, why start now? Here I thought Looney Judiani cross dressing would be a hit with the republiCONs. So many liars, so little time.
