Former mayor and presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani was in Georgia today, to campaign for Senator Saxby Chambliss. Chambliss will face off against Democratic challenger Jim Martin in a December 2 run-off.

According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, Giuliani emphasized that Chambliss's Senate seat was critical, "We’ve got to make sure we don’t give (U.S. Sens.) Harry Reid (D-Nevada) and Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and the Democrats in Washington, D.C., a blank check. If we give them a blank check, they will sign that check and be taking money out of our pockets.

Chambliss won his Senate seat in 2002, and Democrats are reminding voters of the ad Chambliss aired; the ad implied then-incumbent Senator Max Cleland--a Vietnam War triple-amputee--was unpatriotic by showing Cleland and then images of Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein. Back then, Senator John McCain called the ad a "reprehensible" and "worse than a disgrace." Speaking of McCain, his old running mate Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is heading to Georgia to campaign with Chambliss on Monday.

Look at that lineup of goons in the background. Fucking assholes.

Jim Martin vs SAXBY CHAMBLISS?

What an odd name. Sounds German. We can't let one of those Nazis goose-step their way into the Senate.

Beat his ass Jim.

you are a long way from home, daddy boy.

Rudy Tooty and his mrs Judy Tooty are so
passe.
He will go anywhere there is a camera.

Anything that Rudy touches turns to crap, beware!

Giulini f***s his first cousin and then brings his bitch, judy nathan, to bed at Gracie Mansion, in the same second floor where his wife and children sleep.

Is it no wonder that Andrew is so screwed, and Donna Hanover is so bitter?

Can you just imagine how much mayor Mike will be around after his third term bid is knocked down?

Saxby Chambliss was elected after he ran TV ads comparing the incumbent, Max Cleland, a decorate veteran who lost three limbs in Vietnam, to Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden because of his opposition to the Iraqi invasion. There is no one who deserves to lose more than Chambliss.

Is there any way we could get Rudy to stay there? Maybe he and Chambliss could get married.

"The Devil went down to Georgia..."

-cue some lousy fiddling.
