Picture of the Day - 3




















Rudy Giuliani has pulled this "call from his wife" schtick at previous stump events. I assume the idea is to try and give him some kind of "family values" cred and soften up a hostile audience.

(CNN has the video and it looks so fake.)
"Hello, dear," he said, presumably to his third wife, Judith Nathan. "I'm talking to the members of the NRA right now. Would you like to say hello?"

Whatever she said at that moment, Giuliani laughed.

"I love you, and I'll give you a call as soon as I'm finished, OK?" he continued. "OK, have a safe trip. Bye-bye. Talk to you later, dear. I love you."

The crowd applauded.

  • Good one. You could be writing for Letterman.

  • It'd be such a nice slam.Candidate A gets a laugh while Giuliani's falseness gets another few days of play.

  • Wouldn't it be funny if Rudy picked up the phone expecting Judi and it was his mistress instead?

    He's had at least three of those.

  • Three that have been bad enough to be known publicly.

    If you didn't, go back an watch the video. It's sooooo fake.
