The drinking game should be the number of times he tries to scare people. That should get everyone pretty soused. In fact, you can do that for the whole four days of the convention.

He should bring his son to the podium with him so his speech can be interrupted with charming and delightfully boyish slurred profanities and invective aimed at his former Duke teammates.

I loved that Joe Biden joke where he said that all Giuliani says is "noun, verb, 9/11".

Well, whether you like him or not it's a rather odd choice since the keynoter is usually someone they look to as a future standard bearer, and Rudy dropped the standard in the 08 race. www.forgotten-ny.com

Rudy says he's "honored." Whoopee. He won't be president or vice president but he'll do his "America's Mayor" thing, invoke 9/11 a few dozen times, and make his (unofficial) pitch for becoming either attorney general or secretary of homeland security in a John McCain administration. Umm, explain again why being mayor of New York on the day it happened to be attacked by terrorists somehow makes him best-prepared to protect the country?

There was nobody more conservative in the Republican race than Rudy Giuliani on taxes. Ron Paul?

You do a drinking game you will have alcohol poisoning by the time his speech is done.

If there's a drinking game, I'll be passed out after 5 minutes and admitted to the ER an hour later.

The next logical step is for Giuliani to merchandise his 9/11 role. Bobbleheads, anyone?

Rudy belongs in J-A-I-L.

We can definitely do both-- but what are your suggestions for the drinking game? I wonder if he'll go easy on 9/11 mentions (since it's a joke at this point, how much he uses it) and opt for allusions.

I want a chart afterwards with how many times he mentions 9/11, terror, World Trade Center, etc. How about a drinking game during the speech? by EastRiver How about both (though, I guess the chart will have to wait a couple of days for everyone to sober up).
