what’s the count now - is this the 1000th “Rudy in a dress” thread on FR.

Ten years ago?? Must be a slow news day or someone has an ax to grind.

lol. I think some of the "Rudy in a dress" obsessed are turned on by the titillating tabloid tale.

Tis’ an interesting question but then again most people also recall Lieberman/Bush “smooch” after a Presidential address too...and look what that did to Liebermans run as an Independent? People laughed and got over it.

[Joe Boucher]

NO, but his support for the homosexual agenda, gun control stance, pro illegal immigration stance have blackballed him in my playbook.

I’d much rather see him in the swimsuit competition saying he is for World Peace.LOL

I would like to see the reaction here if someone discovered a photo of Thompson in a wig or a gown at some hollywood party.

We have to read about this again??? Well voters didn’t care about a President who told us what sort of underwear he wore. In fact that bit of useless information probably brought votes to Clinton and increased the sale of boxer shorts. I expect a large percentage of the public will see Rudy as a funny-guy for this and it will make him seem more human than many of the other grouchy old man candidates.

Voters won’t care because they won’t be faced with the choice - Fred Thompson all the way!!!!

Rudy has an excuse....he was the Mayor in a City full of lunatics. His drag appearence was mundane.

If a good ol' boy from TN comes out mincing in drag.....now that would be funny and curious.

If Rudy Giuliani becomes the Republican nominee the democrats are going to use his pictures/video in a woman dress 10,000 more times than we used Kerry picture in the “bunny suit at NASA” or “Dukakis with helmet in the tank”. In fact Rudy Giuliani in a dress is much worse than Kerry bunny suite or Dukakis helmet.

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

He looks a lot better in a dress than the probable democrat nominee. And I don’t mean Obama.

[rockrr]

I imagine it would be similar to Joe’s. As much as cross dressing ain’t my thing, I’m much more concerned about my candidate’s political attitudes.

[TheBethsterNH]

I think some of the “Rudy in a dress” obsessed are turned on by the titillating tabloid tale.

....No kidding, notice the ones to make the biggest deal over this stuff is usually the liberals? Like the Lieberman/Bush smooch of 2006.

Giuliani at Gracie Mansion in 1997 dancing with gayder Howard Koeppel, one of the openly gay couple Giuliani lived with, after ditching his wife and kids to be with his mistress.

This ad with Rudy and Donal Trump is from 2000 when Rudy was mayor. Imagine the video he could get from a State Dinner in the White House.

Here here!

Rudy’s love for putting on dresses is strange enough, but not neccesarily blackball material (though the Trump thing is (!DISTURBING!).

Rudy’s problem is the whole package, from jim crow gun laws, to homosexual marriage, Rudy is just an oddball.

Don’t get me wrong, Rudy makes a fine Marilynn Monroe, it’s just that I’m not sure that is what I am looking for in Republican Presidential candidate.

The photo will play well in terrorist countries. Great recruiting tool.
