During NRA Speech, Giuliani Takes Call From Judi

2007_09_giulianiphonecall.jpgRudy'n'Judi, may your antics never ever end! The former mayor was speaking to the National Rifle Association today when he interrupted his speech to take a call from the wife. Seriously. The NY Times has video and coverage - it doesn't seem like he silenced his phone fo the speech! That's how much he respects the NRA members!

When Giuliani reaches into his pocket for the phone, he says it's probably his wife. He answers the phone and says, "Hello dear. I’m talking to the members of the N.R.A. right now. Would you like to say hello? I’ll give you a call as soon as I’m finished. Have a safe trip. Bye bye.”

Man, they should learn about text messaging. Or not: The NY Times points to this Youtube video of Giuliani answering Judi's call during a June speech. The NRA audience did clap (applauding family values?), but apparently many members aren't sure what to make of Giuliani, who did, you know, sue them when he was mayor of New York.

Here's another Giuliani moment: When he was in London earlier this week, Giuliani said, "I'm probably one of the four or five best known Americans in the world."

The guy is impossible. His track record before 911 sucks. So for forty eight hours he came off as being a person in charge. WOW! What about all the others he gathered around him that were just flunkies?

If that's what the repubs are putting up as their great white hope, forget about it. The guy is basically a loser. Too New York, too Jewish (although he isn't) and just not enough Italian. He's the kind of kid we use to throw rocks at when he was younger because his mother made him stay at home and knit while the rest of us were playing midget football.

That phone conversation is so fake/staged.

Someone should see if they can track that call and see if it really came from his wife.

Was it to remind him to buy milk when he comes home..?

good thing the NRA never forgets what this gun grabber did.

Applauding family values? He's on his third wife and his kids hate his guts. That's hardly anything to applaud.

That's pretty corny, especially coming from the likes of this character...

Does anyone here think this WASN'T staged? The same thing happened at an earlier event -- A cheaply staged gimmick to show Rudy's "deep commitment" to family, reported as if it's hard news. I'm not sure what's more pathetic --this ploy or the press hacks who report it with a straight face.

Blah Blah Blah Giuliani. Hate. Hate from the left.


But god forbid Gothamist talks about Hillary's health care plan. What are you afraid of Jen Chung? Wake up people. The Democratic establishment has piked your nect president for you. There is no democracy in the "Democratic" Party. With front loaded primaries it is over before it begins.

Mitt Romney will probably get the nomination. Rudy is waaay to New York to run the country and you need at least a slice of yokel land to win.

Oh what brilliant writing! [smirk]


#10 and # 13: If the GOP and it's Members, In this case Rudy "9/11 Whore" Giuliani, are doing such a great job, why did they lose Congress?

Um, What "Health" care plan is the 9/11 Whore promoting?

It's interesting that "hate!" is the new mantra for the Right.

"When Giuliani reaches into his pocket for the phone, he says it's probably his wife."
