Rudy Giuliani, who has returned as a leading Republican spokesman, condemns Obama's health care plan on Hannity, and offers, in response to the president's hope that the Gates arrest would be a "teachable moment," this:
"He's actually right. It is teachable. Here's the lesson: Shut up."

In before everyone starts bashing on Rudy.
I disagree with him on a lot of issues, but he is right on this.
In NY, isn’t the proper phrase “Shut Ya Yap!”, or just “shaddap!”?
It’s slightly more polite than “Shut the hell up”, which everyone on the left seems to be okay with saying to a president.
No, it’s more like “STFU!”
This is what Iike about Rudy — his to-the-point humor and wit.
I like Rudy, I wouldn’t vote for him, but I like his moxie.
Like him or not Rudy takes no sh*t from anyone.
But this is Rudy Giuliani at his best. He's absolutely right, and he should be let off his leash to spend the next three years making Obama look like the incompetent fool that he is.
Just on the basis of what I read here, I agree. I can’t stand Guiliani myself, but Obama is either very stupid to have even made any comment on this or he was manipulative in trying to advance some racially-charged issue, however phony the thing was. Mom has always said, “The smart person is the one who knows how much he doesn’t know”. That is what ObaMao would have been better off with in this instance.
wrong....Rudy was our White Knight and saved NYC, and those of you who weren’t there shouldn’t talk about him that way....he did great things for NYC.......abd for the record it is STFU
Rudy may be a RINO douche who would scream like a girl if he met some REAL tough guys, but he is right here. I say this as someone who despises Mayor Giussolini. Rudy is a douche, but Barry O is EVIL.
now thats NYC
bttt
Whatever one thinks of Rudy’s politics, the fact is that he would utterly devastate obama in a one-on-one, freewheeling debate.
no question when it came to crime he was the man we needed at that point in time. On the other hand,putting those barriers up so people would only cross one way in midtown? Making old people cross 4 streets where one would do? How anal was this guy? Pre mayor he was another Spitzer too,arresting Wall streeters for the cameras,going into their offices,only to let them go later because he never had a case,only a need for media exposure.
Finally,one part of his legacy is 9-11. I lived here through all that,am a life long Wall Streeter and lost many friends that day,and i am amazed at how people think he did something above and beyond. I suspect most would have behaved in the exact same fashion had they his responsibilites.
Wow, Rudy even agrees with Juan Williams. That must make him a leading spokesman for conservatives!
