McCain delivers Rudy's goodbye speech: UPDATE: Rudy will endorse McCain in CA
Here's a brief clip of McCain's victory speech in Florida where he talks about 9iu11ani in the past tense...
McCain: And I want to thank my dear friend, Rudy Giuliani---who invested his heart and soul in this primary and who conducted himself with all the qualities with the exceptional American leader he truly is. Thank You Rudy. Thank You Rudy---for all you've added to this race and for being an inspiration to me and millions of Americans.

Yea John, he ran a wonderful campaign. So good in fact that it might be the worst campaign in the history of modern politics. By not participating in the process except on FOX---he handed you Florida and New Hampshire and the lead heading into the debate tomorrow night. Bravo! Update: And how ridiculous do all the networks and pundits look over their poll driven pimping of Rudy early on in the process?
Update: What do you know. NBC confirms that Rudy will endorse McCain at the Reagan library tomorrow.
Let's get rid of Mitt "I'll flip flop on any issue" Romney.

He looks like a used Q-tip.
Uh oh -- here comes another wave of man-crush mania from Tweety. I actually don't WANT to smell the Aqua Velva on McCain.
Is that the "scent" used on adult diapers by any chance?
*
"Exceptional American leader"? I'll say.
This feels too good.
I'm not used to it.
Every time that loser opened his mouth, another 1,000,000 Americans thought "WTF"?. Rudy is as contemptible as any candidate I can remember. I hope he is found in a derelict bar, lying in puke and piss, and crying why no one loves him.
Rudy can still finish behind HUCK!
If the last county's to be tallied are the one's that were open till 8:00, that's the west panhandle. Bible-thumping country.
Huck gets the bump from the thumps.
Aw shucks. And Rudy was such an inspiration to us all. So why did everyone go for McCain and Romney? What a thorough loser.
This is great! Rudy Ghouliani got his ass handed to him on a platter. We want "bomb, bomb, bomb" McCain in the fall. In fact, any of the rethuglican dimwits will do! It will be such fun watching them squirming through the debates in the fall...and I can't wait to see the commercials showing all of their dirty laundry.
Salon.com is reporting that Rudy is out and will support McCain. Announcement coming real soon now...
Wait, McCain didn't say 9/11! 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11! (Fuck-up, 9/11 happened on the Retardicons watch so to speak)
McCrazy will never be President. We will not survive a McCrazy Administration.
Does McCain now get Rudy's "9-11" track?
Yeah , you 2 morons have inspired millions of Americans to vote Democratic in the upcoming election you shriveled up old fool.........
Goodbye, Rudy. Don't let the door hit you in the ass, you money grabbing fascist phony. I'm glad the rest of the country sees you for who you are. As long as you are out of the race, this is a victory for every decent human being who puts life ahead of profits. (And in the end you'll pack up and fly down south...and so on)
see ya rudy.........McCain is a formidable foe.........with the exception of his capitulation.......both times.

Vote Retardo-con, vote terrah-wrist! I'm hoping they get their ass handed to them on a bible (or a quran).
cinderdoo @ 15:
good catch....without a doubt....they will try again.
Isane McLame is just as sick as the current giggling freak in the White House.
Which means the m.edia will promote him to the Presidency after the describe as your "average" American or someone you could drink a damn beer with!!
So if Fuckabee would get out of the way, we could finally get to that three man race, Hominy Romney, Insane McCane and Ron
As if Floridians didn't embarrass themselves thoroughly enough in 2000 , they attempted tonight to surpass that rare and dubious feat.
Almost 70% of the GOP voters this evening claimed the ECONOMY as the No#1 issue on their minds.........
So you go out and vote for the idiot who is the least knowledgeable in that particular area ???????????????
Holy Christ..........GOP backers have proven to be just as ridiculously stupid as those they back.
nyguy @ 13:
dont worry about rudy hes going to make millions explaining to american audiences why he was the only one at the destruction of the twin towers with a face breathing mask hangy!
handy
So wait, who will become president of 9/11 now that Giuliani is out of the race?
I don't think it matters too much who the Republicans nominate, I don't see any of them winning. However, I'm particularly glad not to have to listen to anything more from that dumb ass from now on.
Whats best is all the die hard hate from the nuttiest on board the wingnut crazy train towards McCain, damn, they are almost to the point of eating their own, they couldnt keep their venom directed at Democrats forever, could they?
Burn, baby, burn!
Billy Bob @ 19:
you do realize Ron Paul got 3 %.........right. Theres a reason for that you know.
This goes to show you Romney will try to buy the presidency at any cost. Disgusting,no?
In my view, Rudy's donations from NY and elsewhere will be used to strengthen the republican base.
Is it fair to say that these politicians are robbing their states for donations in the pretext to be a president and then leave to build their party base?
So McCain now can kiss Rudy good-bye.
What a totally pathetic combination.
The two of the them have had so many dementia moments combined that I've got to believe they are THE chosen pair for our next rulers.
Reagan, Bush= Idiot puppets hanging by a string.
No reason to doubt this trick won't work again.
This whole thing is planned, signed off on...FORGETTABOUTIT
Note also that the leading thug candidate got fewer votes than the leading dem. And the dems in Florida had no real reason to go out and vote.
Everything on the line for the thugs and the dem turnout, while less than the thug, was damn strong.
Good God...
Last thing anyone should think about are closed off secret societies.
Oh NO!
That's why our President John Adams went haywire against secret societies in a so-called open democracy.
LOOK IT UP.
McCain is making heads explode all over the red blogosphere... Pick your favorite wingnut site and enjoy the show!
Looks like someone's glad Romney lost!

Guiliani is a fraud anyway. McCain looks really really tired, and I am expecting him to have a "Bob Dole moment" sometime soon.
I said this on a previous Rudy thread but it's worth saying again:
Remember how Rudy claimed he was the one to take the fight up to al Qaeda?
He couldn't even take it up to New Hampshire!
O.K. It's a given that rudy 9/11 dropping out of the race was a good thing.
However, what's even better is that even though the Democratic candidates didn't actively campaign in Florida, a Democrat won the overall primary.
God and diebold willing, November is going to be a wood shedding of biblical proportions.
I make take vacation just to celebrate!
Peter G @ 34:
Using the word "prescient" to describe anything associated with FAUX Comedy Channel is akin to calling Chimpy clear-thinking and/or an intellectual..........
a noun, a verb, 9/11, and now 1/29...what a failure of a presidential candidate...too bad, Rudy, we really knew ye (that was the problem)...
the new repug ticket:
mcLame - preznit
9u11iani - veep
victory DIEBOLD, just like NH.
Two words for Rudy.
GOOD RIDDANCE.
Awwww.
I was hoping to see Obama vs Rudy.
There are sure alot of stupid old fart sheep out there. I wouldn't even think about supporting any of these goons if I was a repub, but especially Bam Bam McNut - Bush on steroids. Ron Paul is the only honest one out of any of them.
I'm really thinking this election is rigged. I have a hard time believing the results I'm seeing. Maybe America is just dumber than I think.
The guy who runs "top ten conservative idiots" got Giuliani nailed down pretty well. In addition to his many, many problems, he also ran the least effective campaign I ever seen (valued in terms of political dividends and delegates obtained per $million spent).
His campaign makes Gravel's look good, or at least, not so bad.
Told ya...God I'm good.
McCain vs Hillary folks...and he could win.
Be careful what you wish for...
omg
the repug base must be livid....they hate mccain
Johnny2bad @ 48:
and this could all have been avoided if people had the good sence to vote for edwards! sigh
Yo Mitt, you hear what Giuli and McCain been sayin' 'bout yo ass? Spend some of that Staples money, dude! Hell, it ain't gonna cost you nothin' anyways, just hike up the cost of paper for awhile!
The Guardian website is saying that 'moderates' propelled St McCain to victory. 'Moderates'!!?? Propelled the "bomb, bomb, bomb, Iran man to victory? Yeah right! Does Murdoch own the Guardian too now?
Good----bye, Ruuudy Tuesday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well that's settled then.
Its Hillary/Richardson vs McCain/Giuliani
Thank you Rudi for the indictment of your trusted friend till the end, Bernie Kerick.
Thank you for making money off the deaths of 9/11 and that Ann Coulter gave you her blessing for using 9/11 and did not give that same allowance to the widows of some of the victims of that attack for the use to encourage a commision to seek facts of that attack.
Thanks for all the campaign laughs and gaffes. It is ashamed you and Fred Thompson didn't hook up.
Most of all thanks for going away. Your campaign managing skills, 9/11 leadership and craving to torture America out of a recession will not be missed. Yet does belong either in a comedy skit or a "B" sience fiction.
By the way, Did Murdoch and Ailes approve Rudi to drop out and crown McCain?
oh no! Giuliani may not be gone, he will be McCain's VeeP
oh no!!!!!!!!!!!
Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!!
I think McCain would take Lieberman over rudy 9-11 for VEEP.
Also, considering how many delegates Edwards has, Hillary is no shoe-in. When he (sadly) bows out, whomever he supports will likely get the nod, in my opinion.
Rudy, you've been nothing but a perspiration it me!
mudshark @ 26:
Is it Katherine Harris or just that Floridians love fascism?
Oh wait, I know. The GOP asked Ron to sing "BombIran" and he didn't know the lyrics!
Johnny2bad @ 49:
That's like vomiting vs. diarrhea.
What I found especially amusing was this bit in the New York Times in an article today on Rudy's collapse:
Which could almost be called plagiarism, because it's exactly what was said in a couple of dozen comments made on a NYT blog post that talked about Rudy's "mistake in not competing in New Hampshire". Maybe the NYT is using its blogs to test out wording of stories before it puts out "real" ones?
McCain Guiliani loses to Obama, but beats Hillary every time. Bummer.
My friend, my friend, my friend
LOL
The GOP is pathetic this election.
If Rudy is dropping out then why is he even allowed in the debates??
Kucinich and Paul were excluded from several debates whilst actually running.. yet Rudys dropping out and still gets an invite..
Typical MSM.
to me ,
Nothing scares me more than McGain and Livermann , and then again maybe its time to start over .
You want real change then vote for it , protest ( while you still can ) , you neocon bastards , Ron Paul said he would press charges against bush/cheney , they should lose every penny they have just like a drug bust and given the gallows in PUBLIC .
mcgain you are a POS .
NBC confirms that Rudy will endorse McCain at the Reagan library tomorrow.
Is that like kissing the Pope's ring at the Vatican? Or, given Republican tendencies, is it another portion of anatomy that gets the smooch? And is it the back...or front?
I hate to be a nitpicker, but McCain used the present perfect tense, not the past tense. "You have added" indicates that an event has happened at some point in the past, but that may continue to occur today. Usage of the past tense would be far more terminal in tone.
Even so, it's good to know that the raving neocon looney's gone. Anyone who is seen publicly heeding Norman Podhoretz's advice has to be disturbed.
Okay, Mark of Cain has been embraced first by Joe 'war-over-party' Lieberman and now by Rudy 'islamofascism' Giuliani - what more needs said? This front runner is beginning to scare the shit out of me by association.
check out Viet Nam vet's against mccain on youtube ( no plug , I just do not know how to add it here sorry ) coward , ? , traitor even ? you tell me .
I want to vote for competence and integrity... something rarely seen over the last 8 years of the Nek'd Emperor.
Obama certainly has integrity.... I just don't see the competence beyond being inspiring.
Hillary seems to have the competence, but no real integrity.
Edwards... I just don't know. I like his pro-poor policies, but he doesn't seem to have the experience and he seems a little sleezy to me.
just some thoughts
Trittydi @ 3:
LMAO @ your comment...! Too funny!!!
Notice how quickly the GOP will boss their primary, while the Edwards camp will drag out the process till the convention which will certainly leadtoa Clinton nomination AND an ugly fight.
Edwards is the new Nader; complete with Nader endorsement I might add.
And the MSN article's title: "For Giuliani, a dizzying free-fall"
For Rudy the 'free-fall' happened within a month of his declaring his presidency run. He started out on the bottom one the primaries started. To say that there was a ;free-fall' ignores the less than a chance start that Rudy had when he started. To describe it as a 'free-fall' sounds overly dramatic and just silly...
Heck, that would be like me throwing a rock up in the air and mourning it not reaching earth orbit. True, the rock (and Rudy) had a chance, but not really...
King of Kings @ 74:
Unlike the Nader cover for the 2000 election GOP hit, I could actually see Edwards doing a fantastic job as president. Nader as president? A bowl of mashed potatoes could be a better leader!
Did anybody notice that on MSNBC last night they had all their news/commentary people working everywhere? Even Kelly O’Donnell (is that her name?) was working the McCain headquarters. Or was it the Romney headquarters? Did you notice who was nowhere to be seen? Bowtie man. Tucker was not there!!! Was he packing up his office to make room for Rachel Maddow?
I simply don't understand people! McCain tells them that many American jobs are gone forever, the economy is going to get worse, doesn't address the problems of middle America (except by calling them "My Friends) Can't wait to get us into another War - yet his supporters roar their approval. What am I missing here?
missmarple @ 78:
And I forgot to add that he also says the illegals are never going to go home!
Oh you are wrong, wrong, wrong.
Rudy DID NOT run the worst campaign that is just not true. Fred Thompson's was far worse, he never even tried. At least Rudy told you he wasn't going to try until he got to Florida.
And so the former #1 in the polls and former #2 in the polls hit the exits, to very soon be followed by the winner of the Iowa caucus.
Jesus, it's like whoever is left in the room I guess we'll nominated your sorry butt and turn off the lights when you get the boot in November. This party is in for a long cold winter.
Mike Donnelly @ 80:
Yeah that's after he lost in other states -- "Oh I wasn't really trying!" LOL!
missmarple @ 78:
Wall street and our friends are doing well , what do you mean the enonomy is tanked , I have intel that says , we have " Mo Buck's " coming .
And on top of the profits , tax cuts , yea baby .
