Giuliani Thinks Gingrich Is Reagany (Good), Romney Is Flip-Floppy (Bad)

Giuliani Thinks Gingrich Is Reagany (Good), Romney Is Flip-Floppy (Bad)

In case his gushing admiration isn't enough to tip you off, Rudy Giuliani friggin' loves Newt Gingrich all of a sudden—and he's willing to go on every cable news show to sing his praises if he has to. Not that Gingrich is asking for it, mind you; as the Washington Post put it, "Gingrich needs Rudy Giuliani like he needs another marriage." But even so, Giuliani's gonna do whatever he can to help his buddy out—and that includes ripping on Mitt Romney: “I ran against him in ‘07 and ‘08 [and] I’ve never seen a guy change his position so many times, so fast, on a dime,” Giuliani said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” more ›

Rudy Giuliani Has Strong Opinions On Newt Gingrich, Damnit

Rudy Giuliani has opinions about stuff and things, and you're gonna hear about it whether you like it or not: following his anti-Occupy Wall Street bums rant last month, Giuliani weighed in on the battle to become the Republican presidential pinata candidate, and has come out in favor of Newt Gingrich: “My gut tells me right now as I look at it that Gingrich might actually be the stronger candidate,” Giuliani said on CNN’s “Piers Morgan Tonight.” Well, now Rudy has something in common with Gary Busey besides a shared love of dressing in drag. more ›

Rudy Giuliani Would Have Kicked Out Occupy Wall Street Bums On Day One

Rudy Giuliani Would Have Kicked Out Occupy Wall Street Bums On Day One

Mayor Bloomberg pulled the trigger to clean out Zuccotti Park earlier this week after nearly two months of Occupy Wall Street protesters encamping there. While Bloomberg has been questioned and criticized for his tactics in breaking up the protest, let's just stop for a moment and imagine what would have happened were a certain former mayor still in charge. Because that certain former mayor wants you to think about him. Because that certain former mayor wants you to know that “disgruntled bums” and “leftover hippies from the ’60s and ’70s” (literally) have no place in NYC. Because Mayor of 9/11 Town Rudy Giuliani is not as big a fan of free speech as Bloomberg. more ›

Mayor of 9/11 Town Rudy Giuliani broke his legendary silence on Occupy Wall Street this week at the Defending the American Dream Summit.

Ed Koch May Endorse Giuliani In 2012, Despite Recently Hating His Guts

Former Mayor Ed Koch, the GOP endorsement machine and author of "Giuliani: Nasty Man,", was on WNYM-AM yesterday saying perhaps he has misjudged his old foe, who is pondering a 2012 presidential run: "I think he's a modern Republican, and I think that he would be advancing positions that I could overwhelmingly support, so I wouldn't rule an endorsement out." As he did with his recent endorsement of Bob Turner, the Daily News reports that Koch made sure this one was backhanded too, saying that Giuliani "had a personality problem." more ›

Were Dinkins And Giuliani The Worst And Best NYC Mayors?

Ray Kelly's chances of moving into Gracie Mansion wasn't the only thing that Quinnipiac was asking questions about while conducting its latest poll. They were also interested in history. Specifically how New Yorkers are feeling about Michael Bloomberg's third term (pretty split these days) and how they think New York's mayors since 1966 stack up. And only one percent chimed in to support poor Abe Beame! more ›

Is Rudy Giuliani Eyeing Another Unsuccessful Presidential Run?

A lot of things get Rep. Peter King all hot and bothered: Muslims, Osama bin Laden death photos, and pizza tourism, to name three. But nothing gets him more riled up than the possibility of his good friend and Mayor of 9/11 Town Rudy Giuliani running for president again...but only if they let Rudy be himself this time: “The main problem last time was that nobody let Rudy be Rudy, you want a tough guy to make the tough decisions, and I think that would appeal across the board and to tea party members.” more ›

Giuliani Calls Spitzer An Extortionist, Gotti A "Dumb Moron"

The best part of waking up is Rudy in your cup: Mayor of 9/11 Town Rudy Giuliani joined Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa on his radio show earlier this morning.

"This is like having Hitler as a hero," he said of the upcoming Gotti movie. more ›

Is it really true the King and his men destroyed the building themselves in a controlled demolition? And where did the debris go? "Oh all right," the retired 9/11 King told the students at the University of Arkansas, "Once upon a time, there was a place in America called Staten Island."

Giuliani Calls WTC Building 7 Questioner A "Conspiracy Nut"

As you may recall from reading the 1,000-plus comments on this story, some people believe the building—where Giuliani had his emergency command center—did not collapse on its own, but instead had help from shadowy government operatives who brought it down in a controlled demolition. more ›

Obama Explains Why U.S. Is In Libya, Critics Pounce

Obama Explains Why U.S. Is In Libya, Critics Pounce

President Obama addressed the nation last night, explaining why the U.S. was involved in military actions against Libyan forces, "To brush aside America’s responsibility as a leader and -- more profoundly -- our responsibilities to our fellow human beings under such circumstances would have been a betrayal of who we are. Some nations may be able to turn a blind eye to atrocities in other countries. The United States of America is different. And as President, I refused to wait for the images of slaughter and mass graves before taking action." more ›

That's hard! A no fly zone is r-r-r-really hard!' Can we stand two more years of this? We have to. Can we stand six more of this? We don't have to. It's up to you, and it's up to me. It's up to the Republican Party.... This president has been a failure in just about everything he's done." more ›

Fox News Chairman Allegedly Told Editor To Lie To Feds

Fox News Chairman Allegedly Told Editor To Lie To Feds

Back in 2007, former Harper Collins editor Judith Regan filed $100 million lawsuit against Harper Collins and its parent company, News Corp, for defamation. She accused a Fox News executive of telling her to lie to federal investigators while they investigated former Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik (who is now in prison) because news of her affair with Kerik would hurt Rudy Giuliani's presidential chances. And now it seems like the executive she was referring to was Fox News chairman Roger Ailes. more ›

Politico reports, "Rudy Giuliani is headed to New Hampshire next month as the former New York mayor weighs another White House run.

Giuliani Could Be Delusional, Wins 5th Place In Poll

Last night, former mayor Rudy Giuliani was on Piers Morgan's CNN talk show to discuss a variety of topics, such as Bernard Madoff, 9/11, and 2012.

Video: Giuliani Says 2012 Door Is "Absolutely" Open

Either because it wouldn't be a presidential campaign without at least a little 9/11 or because his 2008 flameout was so awesome to watch, CNBC's Larry Kudlow asked former NYC mayor Rudy Giuliani if he'd run for president in 2012. Giuliani said, "I will take a look at 2012. It’s really a question of, can I play a useful role? Would I have a chance of getting the nomination? Those are things that I’ll have to evaluate as the year goes along." more ›

Chris Christie Fires Back At Rudy Giuliani's Snow Criticism

Chris Christie Fires Back At Rudy Giuliani's Snow Criticism

NJ Governor Chris Christie has gotten some flak for going to Disney World while his lieutenant governor was also on vacation in Mexico during the blizzard. See, the whole point of having a lieutenant governor is basically so the control of the state reminds in the hand of the governor's office, but Christie pointed out that A) he promised his kids they'd go see Mickey Mouse, B) his LG's cancer-stricken dad planned this trip, and C) the state did fine. Still, that wasn't good enough for former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who said that Christie should have come back from Orlando. Uh-oh, trouble in GOP paradise! more ›
