Like other Republicans these days, former mayor Rudy Giuliani defended John McCain's selection of running mate Sarah Palin. He told CNN's Wolf Blitzer, "We have the ticket in the right order. We have got the most experienced candidate on the top... We've got the younger candidate of the next generation on the bottom of the ticket... [Democrats have] got it kind of reversed. They got the guy with all the experience at the bottom of the ticket.'' AND he gave the ultimate approval this morning: When asked by Good Morning America if "she were the president on 9/11, you would have been confident?" Giuliani said, "I'd be confident that she'd be able to handle it. She's been a governor of a state, she's been mayor of a city." Tonight, Giuliani and Palin will speak at the RNC.

Giuliani would endorse Vladimir Putin and Robert Mugabe for "President during 9/11" because they're not a pussies, their dicks (like himself).
Noun, Verb, 9/11
sic: their
correction: they're
Who's dicks?
If he'd been to Wasilla, he would not call it a city.
Palin is governor of a state, and Obama has rarely shown up for work at his senate job since he was elected.
But apparently, according to the messiah, just running for president, (which is all he's done since 2004), now qualifies as executive experience. By that dopey logic, anybody who runs for president is therefore qualified for office.
Glad we cleared that up.
Sure, it's not he matches Sen. McCain's Absentee record on votes...
O that's right! Sen. McCain has been running for President, so it's Ok...

NYC's government workforce is several times larger than Wasilia's entire population.
I don't think Palin is the only one who isn't sure what the VP actually does...
"Obama has rarely shown up for work at his senate job since he was elected."
According to the Washington Post, Obama missed 1.7% of the votes in the 109th Congress, and 45.5% of the votes in the 110th.
According to the same source, McCain missed 9.0% in the 109th, and 63.8% in the 110th. That's more missed votes than the guy whose brain was bleeding.
The 'dopey logic' you refer to is your own (or lifted from the GOP response), as neither Obama nor the campaign has made any such argument ('anybody who runs for president is therefore qualified for office'). Their argument is really simple: the campaign is a large organization, and Obama is the boss. It's kind of hard to dispute this, as the campaign has millions of dollars and thousands of staff. By the IRS' definition, the Obama campaign is a "large or mid-sized business".
So, he himself never said 9/11.
Guiliani - who would listen to a guy whose own children wouldn't vote for him.
The one thing that made this country as great and powerful as it once was - the separation of church and state.
Get ready for this lunatic Palin to take care of that little nuisance of a rule and help complete the creation a fascist government:

If executive experience matters that much you would think Giuliani would have a better resume than Obama, McCain, Biden, & Palin. Crap even Bloomberg and his party-switching ass has more experience.
Question: How does NYCs workforce compare in size to the Obama/Democratic Party campaign staff?
Palin was very brave on 9/11 when a Cessna loaded with stupid crashed into a pair of moose right in the heart of Middleofnowhere, Alaska. She only needed one blast of hairspray to get over the tragedy.
Is Rudy also saying the Republicans were wrong in 2000 when greenhorn George Bush selected experienced Dick Cheney as his VP running mate?
"Obama has rarely shown up for work at his senate job "
Usual republican know-nothing smears. It's McCain who has not set foot in the Senate since early April... not even bothering to show up for the vote on the Webb G.I. Bill... you know, the one he was against before he supported it, before he claims to have been a co-author of?
On September 11, 2001:
President of the U.S. Republican
Governor of N.Y. Republican
Mayor of N.Y. Republican
Majority of U.S. Senate Republican
Majority of Congress Republican
Majority of Supreme Court Republican
It would be more logical to say that the more Democrats we elect, the less likely we are to experience another 9/11.
No, that wouldn't be logical at all.
From the time Obama was sworn in as a US senator to the time he announced he was forming a presidential exploratory committee, he logged 143 days. After 143 days of work experience, Obama believed he was ready to be Commander In Chief, Leader of the Free World, and fill the shoes of Abraham Lincoln, FDR, JFK and Ronald Reagan.
In contrast, John McCain's 26 years in Congress, 22 years of military service including 1,966 days in captivity as a POW in Hanoi. How's that for foreign experience, not to mention a show of character?
that's because mccains OLD, he's 74 yrs old.
older than the state of Alaska.
I'll go with 'quaint hamlets' for $200, Alex. Answer? What is Wasilla, AK (pop. 5,469).
There are 'towns' in this country with more than 650,000 people, and some 'cities' with 100,000 people but Wasilla isn't either of them.
ides you could at least give the appearance of intellectual honesty. Why is it that Obama's experience is counted as actual days of session, but McCain's is counted as whole years? Why is Obama's experience cut off when he formed a exploratory committee, but McCain's isn't (2000 and 2008)?
He's a Republican, that's why. Dishonesty is in his DNA.

PALINOGRAPHY
"You asked for it, slutty girl,
Just read The Good Lord's Tome--
Charity and forgiveness
Begin--and end--at home."
McCain's character gives me no information as to whether he is competent to run the country. His poor handling of issues and his slide from a pork-barrel moderate to a pork-barrel social conservative gives me no comfort in what he really is going to do if elected president. Do we really need another person of 'character' like George Bush? Like the recent transformation of Beijing, the areas of DC were funded by out-of-control policies of Republicans. Take a drive around there sometime and see all the defense contractor offices. John McCain has wet dreams about defense missile systems and endless funding for small upgrades on weapons systems and the next generation of combat robots.
Watch this guy speak without a teleprompter. Oh wait, you won't. If these upcoming debates are about issues other than 'family values' and the right to choose, expect mccain to act like a dumb bully.
McCain is just another roached-out old fart who misses the brake pedal and hits the gas slamming this country into a crowd of innocent bystanders.
