With Giuliani, take your pick
By Steve Benen Monday Jan 21, 2008 2:01pmAt this point, I can’t help but think Rudy Giuliani is staying in the race simply as some kind of nuisance. I’m trying to decide which of these two are more ridiculous, and I’m at a loss.
Rudy Giuliani’s campaign released a new ad in Florida Friday that uses footage and photographs of 9/11 and the ruins of the World Trade Center to emphasize his leadership as New York City mayor. […]
“[W]hen the world wavered, and history hesitated, he never did,” he continues, over images and footage of people running from the site of the Trade Center attacks, and the former New York mayor embracing rescue workers. “Rudy Giuliani. Leadership. When it matters most.”
Let me get this straight. Giuliani’s performance on 9/11 was superior to that of the entire world? He held a few press conferences, and wandered the city after putting his emergency response center in the wrong building. That’s “leadership”?
Giuliani mailing in Florida: “My belief in God and reliance on His guidance is at the core of who I am.”
Seriously? Giuliani, who has shown practically no interest in matters of faith in his adult life, is a thrice-married serial adulterer who rejects (or, at least used to reject) most of his church’s teachings on major social issues. But that’s fine, because this direct-mail piece insists that his faith is “the core” of his being.
Please.

HUCK!
9/11 told him to say all this.
9/11 will tell him later to drop out, because it's good for 9/11.
AND HUCK!
On One Good Move they have a link up to the Daily Show's moment of Zen. Show's Rudy making a comment about the economy, GDP up from 9 to 11 percent! N,V, 9/11!!!
Fishbone got the news:

Which is followed by '9' & '11' knocking ummm ... serifs .... oh yeah ..
Rudy Guilani... one of the biggest crooks and liars currently outside the white house...
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
THTOP GANGING UP ON ME!!! I'M RUDY (AKA RUDY COP!) You can't talk about me like that! I'll...I'll...I'll...I'll make my eyes go all big and buggy and you'll be thorry!!!
FLORIDA ITH RUDY COUNTRY - at leatht in my rhetoric! Tee Hee...
VOTE FOR ME! 9/11!!!
Rudy
He can pick a little from A and a little from B in Fla. all he wants.
McCain will still kick his ass even in Fla.
HUCK! will lock up the Jeebus vote, but that's not as big as Guiliani apparently thinks it is. He might take the panhandle, but the voters live from Orlando on south. That's hardcore service industry and Jeebus ain't big with the food and beverage crowd.
Ron Paul might even kick his ass....again.
I think Rudy's ego is keeping him in the race. He failed to get his crooked buddy into the office of head of homeland security. His ego had to take a hit over that. Now he himself is running for the highest office in the land and he just doesn't want to admit that so far it doesn't look like he's getting there.
I think he really believed that 9-11 alone would catapult him right into office.
Fred Thompson just officially dropped out! Woooo!
Giuliani just moved up a spot since Fred Thompson just dropped out.
Fred Thompson Quits Presidential Race
I can't wait for feb 5th when he has his a$$ handed to him.
If JuliAnna picks his nose, we won't hear from him for days.
"...when History hesitated..."
Holy fuck - Giuliani is the true Archimedean lever, he is...That powerful sumbitch urges even faltering History onwards...
"that his faith is “the core” of his being."...says it all
that means he know he can get a free to him piece of tail at the
expense of the taxpayers of NYC.
“[W]hen the world wavered, and history hesitated, he never did,”
how does "history hesitate"? i don't know what that means...
but, really, i have never understood how this tragedy made rudy a "hero"... i see how he has profited off of the deaths of thousands of people, and used the tragedy to catapult his terminally ill political career, but hero? come on. more like a grim opportunist looking to make some loot off the dead people he was in part responsible for.
yes, i will say it again, rudy 9uilian11 is responsible for some of the deaths during 9/11.
rudy, you are an unlikable tragedy-pimp. and, fuck, you are one ugly ass cross-dresser too...
What is it with all those facial expressions he makes? The raised eyebrows and the bugged eyes make me think he is lying with every word he says.
Well, if there's one thing 911 has taught me, it's..........
pissed off patricia @ 18:
It's constipation. But that isn't the worst of it. The medication he is on for his constipation is conflicting with his Viagra medication, and it makes his garter belts too tight.
I bet he's still in it because he runs the kind of organization where they all tell him how great he's doing and no one will tell him he's a loser.
The good news is that we here in Fla get to vote next Tuesday and after that all these rats will leave us alone. Okay Rudy may want to stay and take his bus on one more lap around Daytona speedway, but after that, he's gonna go away too.
Rudy is the scariest of a scary bunch. One nasty man. Of course, that's what we've been seeing these past 7 yrs. so maybe the rest of the country doesn't see him like his neighbors to NYC do. If he wins FL, watch out!.
"...and, fuck, you are one ugly ass cross-dresser too…"
Whoa, there! "De gustibus", etc...Somewhere in a max security lockup there's a ne'er-do-well on an aluminum toilet, with a pat of butter in one hand, and a picture of Lady Rudy in the other, ready to take love into his own hands...
What is this, a menu from a Chinese restaurant?
I look forward to his upcoming concession speech...just like that of *yawn* Freddy T.
Are you guys kidding me? We have to give Giuliani all of our support right now, he needs us! If he wins Florida, that'll give him the jump start he needs to beat Romney and then hopefully Mccain. If Giuliani wins the nomination, that means a democrat will be in the white house. This guy has so much dirt on him and so many skeletons in his closet that even if we didn't have a candidate he would get less votes than "Uncommitted." It is in our best interest that Mccain does not get the nomination.
The left and right always remain vote on party lines, but it's the undecided middle that we'll have to win. Mccain is center-right, it's not good if he gets the nomination.
Did you guys see the daily show last night. How Giuliani managed to get 9/11 in a discussion about the economy was hilarious.
Choice B makes a lot more sense when you realize that Rudy believes he IS God.
because 9/11 wouldn't quit. i'm gonna 9/11 until the 9/11 decides i'm 9/11.
9/11.
menomena.
Can I drive a pathe car? I wanna drive a pathe car! Waaaaahhh!!!!
Footage and photographs of 9/11 and the ruins of the WTC = leadership
Huh?
but sean hannity loves him.
and that's enough.
i can't wait to see him get 3rd or 4th place in the GOP caucus in FL
he's done like dinner
oh....speaking of dinner.........9/11
Too bad Fla's not an open primary. If it was, we could help Rudy out like Mitt in Michigan.
Richardson, Biden, and Dodd are on the sample ballot I got. Hmmmm.
Dr. Acula @ 31:
Someone needs to use the footage of his Daytona snit fit in a ad against him. Classic.
Patricia - with the Dems forsaking Florida as they did Michigan, what good will voting next Tuesday do?
Rudy's whole 9/11 remembrance is falling flat on its face. Voters want more than that he is not providing it. On the other hand though. He might have a chance at beating someone in Florida. Huckabee's campaign may not be making it financially as we see from this story:
Huckabee Broke
"Less than a month after a huge upset victory, and promises that fundraising would be ramped up, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee is asking his senior staff to keep working for him without pay, while lower level campaign staff are seeing their salaries cut dramatically or eliminated altogether."

It all depends on who that elusive "God" is -
.. there ya go!
His campaign slogan should be Vanity and Arrogance 2008!

Crossing Mayor Giuliani Often Had a Price By MICHAEL POWELL and RUSS BUETTNER
Far more than his predecessors, Rudolph W. Giuliani's toughness edged toward ruthlessness and became a defining aspect of his mayoralty.
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/22/us/politics/22giuliani.html?th&emc=th
“My belief in God and reliance on His guidance is at the core of who I am.”
That's true - but you have to get the additional point that Rudy thinks he is God.
Fruadulant representation, self aggrandizement and self serving schemeing is at the core of his being... nothing more, nothing less.. You are a pathetic excuse for a person, let alone a leader Rudy.........Why don't you and your buddy Bernie show your true colors and go hire a couple of hookers and get the fuck out of the way asshole... Oh, that's right.. your buddies currently unavailable...Tuff shit Rudy..JD
When the towers fell, my first thought was, "Thank GOD Rudy's our Mayor! Now he and his mendacious middle-aged gold-digger can profit handily, and maybe even win the White House! Huzzah!"
Sell your soul to get the ticket. Nothing new here.
Is God a bad advisor? It sure would seem so, since Georgi, Rudito, and Huck sure have been getting some bad advice from the Almighty's "guidance." God, after all, told Georgi to invade a counrty that posed no threat, remain there in a protracted engagement refereeing a civil war, run the U.S. economy into the ground and basically say F.U. to everyone making less that 1 mil./yr.
God, the core of Giuliani's being, must have been napping when Rudito was out adulterating or pushing (Weekend at That Ragan Woman's) Bernie Kerik to head up homeland security; not to mention the heavenly guidance Rudito received telling him to put NYC's emegency command center in the only location in the city that had already been hit by terrorists.
Finally, I don"t think God would approve of the Huckster telling folks to stick a flagpole up their arse under ANY circumstance! And THAT, folks, is what we have to look forward to if any one of these "divinely inspired" jokers gets to be president! May heaven help us!
What we need is a candidate who gets guidance from a Ouija Board and says so. Although not likely (not ruling anything out in this country) to get elected the honesty would be refreshing.
Crossing Mayor Giuliani often had a price!

“[W]hen the world wavered, and history hesitated, he never did,” he continues, over images and footage of Giuliani running from the site of the Trade Center attacks because HE KNEW that the twin towers AND WTC#7 were being pulled, and the former New York mayor MURDERED rescue workers. “Rudy Giuliani. Leadership? When it matters most?”
Giuliani just moved up a spot since Fred Thompson just dropped out.
Gee, now he'll just come in FOURTH or FIFTH place without ol' Fred.
The sick criminals who run our country told Rudy they would back him for President if he went along with the 9/11 treachery. Watch Rudy move to China if a real investigation of that event ever takes place. Isn't the mob also backing Rudy?

He cannot resign, he's only a few thousand dead kids from VICTORY!
randron @ 46:
Anyone who buys that horseshit has such for brains.
Oliver Stone is earning the cash he got from Scaife.
Invading a country to install airbases does NOT require religious assistance, which is why Bush makes so little effort to sell that mallarky now that the Mission is Accomplished.
Here is my prediction on Rudy re: the Florida primary -
Remembering that he ahs the blessing and advisors of the Neo-cons in his campaign, we will get a sudden 'Terror' warning or incident, maybe right in Florida, about 2 days before the primary goes off. Rudy will change his stump to a constant, histrionic "You all forgot but I didn't" rant. "I warned you about this dangerous world. You need me!"
Tested. Ready. Now.
Rudy pulls off a big victory in Florida. Two to four weeks later, the whole 'Terror' incident unravels as they all do. Nobody notices, just like always. Regardless, Rudy has already won the Super Tuesday contests.
The Neo-cons smile darkly.
I'm heartened to see the C&L monitors allowing comments above that don't swallow the whole offical story of 9-11. The turn will turn eventually.
Rudy has been running for the GOP VP spot for the past month.
The reason he wandered the streets on 9/11 is that he did not have an office to go to ... the emergency response office was in the World Trade Center.
Fingers crossed for a Rudy upset in Florida - I'd like the Republican primary to play out as long as possible. Keep spending their money beating each other up - not the Hil/Obama..
"Rudy! Rudy! Rudy! He's our man...."
"If you don't think he'll fuck us.....your a dumbass man!!!"
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaa Rudy!
(punk bitch)
So Rudy is THE hero of 911.
Has Tom Cruise been informed of this?
It will be interesting to see if MSNBC omits Rudy from their debates since Kucinich was and he polls higher than Rudy.
I hope I'm wrong - when he talks about a 'miracle' in FL, I think of Karl's 'secret math.' I enjoy the thought that he's out, but it's obvious that he's the prized choice of neocons everywhere. In reality, the odds of Rudy winning FL are about the same as, say, Bldg 7 collapsing. Again, I sincerely hope I'm mistaken.
For the 9 hundreth and 11th time. Aren't you being a little to hard on Rudi?
News flash: " Rudi vows not to drop out of race until 9/11 or he wins a respectable 9 or 11 delegates".
