Born at the Crest of the Empire

But I thought Patriotism was the last refuge of a scoundrel...

Giuliani tries to hide his personal life behind the bible....
"I'm guided a lot by the story of the woman that was going to be stoned, and Jesus put the stones down and said, 'He that hasn't sinned, cast the first stone,' and everybody disappeared.

"It seems like nowadays in America, we have people that think they could've passed that test," he said. "And I don't think anybody could've passed that test but Jesus."


What Giuliani doesn't seem to understand is that those in the "Christian" movement who are criticizing him departed from the messages of tolerance many decades ago. (And I'm sure lecturing them on it will go over so well.)

Same interview, the 9/11 Tourettes reappears as Giuliani tries to explain the phone schtick at the NRA appearance.
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.

C'mon Republicans. You can't be serious about this guy.

  • This man is such a shameless tool...

  • I just can't believe he's being taken that seriously.

    Of course, most people probably don't watch as closely so they have this vague vaseline lensed picture of him as "the hero of 9-11."

    I'll be really curious how that develops. It's very hard to maintain that sort of vagueness under the public eye.

  • Admit it Giuliani...since 911 everytime you get a call you think it's God.

  • We already got one of those as President, and I don't think we need another.

  • I thought Giuliani would have dropped out of sight long before now, after voters got a good whiff of him. But he's still polling well, and what that says about the American voter is a little troubling.

  • See, I don't think most people are watching that closely right now.

    I'll be very curious how it shapes out when the national spotlight really falls on Giuliani.

    He's going to have to push hard to keep the daily news cycle on what he's saying rather than all the backstories.
