I'm not sure what's up with Giullani besides wanting to stir things up. Everyone just wants to stir things up, that what passes for substance these days.

Do you think maybe he's been in perpetual conniption since 911? Ever since then he just seems bats***t crazy. I don't know how else to explain this. He's just plain nuts.

Of course the content can't be disputed, it's O-P-I-N-I-O-N, nothing more.

Mine is Rudy's a washed up political hack who's had his fifteen minutes and misses them.

He is a sad, bitter man.
First Bloomberg gets the third term that he himself tried to wrangle after 9/11 and then a real liberal gets elected.
It must irk him no end that NYC set a record for most number of days without a homicide under that liberal mayor.

To the poster that tried to compare the Mayor's behavior to President Clinton's, yes, both were despicable, but, did Clinton divorce his wife as a result?
Did he announce their separation to the press before telling his wife he was leaving her?
Did he try to move his mistress into what was the family home while his wife and child(ren) were still living there?
Is he now estranged from a child as a result of the treatment of that child's mother?

That's the kind of man Rudy is.

His outrage doesn't strike me as all that genuine. Most of our representatives, conservative and moderate, have been lethargic where Obama is concerned for the past six years. There is a better way to get a point across without shouting it like the wizard of oz.

There was also a better time to say it...like six years ago.

That'd be great. He'd hand the Presidency to the Dems for the next 100 years. Of course, that's gonna happen anyway.

This is quite a shift over time for Giuliani - earlier in life, he was skeptical of the Vietnam war, and declined to serve in it. He certainly didn't trust an interventionist federal foreign policy back then. Times have changed, of course, but it's not exactly clear how his proposed strategy would meet with any better end than the Vietnam war itself did.

Anyway, anti-interventionism is not an unpatriotic position for Americans to take, which is something that neoconservative rhetoric often tries to deny.
Typical Reicht-wing chickenhawk. What a hypocrite.

Oh, was that the Grandmother in Hawaii or the Grandmother from Kenya who stated in an interview that she was present at BO's birth in Kenya? She suddenly died 2 or 3 days after that interview came out.

How about recognizing that Rudy is just a man that tells the truth and is not afraid to do so! Some of us do that and find "political spin" and the "ducking behind false front" when speaking suits their cowardly demeanor.

It was "Hillary" that should have divorced the dispicable idiot. How many women has he pursued throughout the marriage, including having his "security guys" when governor of Arkansas bring many to him in a hotel room? Both of them are, IMHO, totally immoral and should never hold public office.

Oh, maybe they deserve each other, since both seem to ignor the marriage vows. Hmmmm!
