[Rudolph] Giuliani notes he can act, too (Fred envy?)
The Boston Globe ^ | June 12, 2007 | Ken Maguire

Republican presidential contender Rudy Giuliani said Tuesday he can act too when asked about actor-politician Fred Thompson's expected GOP candidacy. Giuliani, a former New York City mayor, has appeared in films such as "Anger Management" and "The Out-of-Towners." He also appeared in an episode of the hit TV comedy "Seinfeld." "I go through airports and people remember the Seinfeld episode better than I do," Giuliani said before attending a fundraiser at the home of Richard Egan, co-founder of data storage giant EMC Corp. and former Bush administration ambassador to Ireland. Giuliani said the most fun was hosting "Saturday Night Live." "So my career is as a comedian, not as a serious actor," Giuliani joked, also pointing out his main gigs were as a U.S. attorney and mayor. Thompson, a former Tennessee senator, has played the role of New York district attorney Arthur Branch on NBC's "Law & Order" and has appeared in several movies. Giuliani said he was not surprised that Thompson has been doing well in the polls. "Fred will be a very, very good candidate," he said, adding he's not concerned about any other candidate. "I'm sure he has a lot of important views that he wants to express. From my point of view, the more, the merrier."

Well, I’ll give Rudy this much... when he’s in drag, he’s still got better gams than Hillary.

Rudy is “acting”, any time he pretends to be a republican.

Fred’s a bad actor. He is capable only of playing a tough, articulate, authentic, down-to-earth conservative leader in his roles.

Rudy’s the same, he’s capable only of playing a sawed-off lisping leftist statist thug in his roles.

[Rudolph] Giuliani notes he can act, too

"Oh no he can't"

Oh, yes he can"

Pantomime dame
A pantomime dame is a traditional character in British pantomime. It is a continuation of en travesti portrayal of female characters by male actors in drag. They are played either in an extremely camp style, often but not exclusively by actors well-known for their homosexuality or effeminacy, or else by men acting 'butch' in women's clothing.

One example is Widow Twankey in the British pantomime version of the Aladdin story. In Monty Python's Flying Circus (Episode 30) non-British viewers were puzzled by the nature-film sequence in which the Pantomime Princess Margaret, lurking in the undergrowth harpooned a silver breakfast tray that was scuttling down the woodland trail: "The unsuspecting breakfast glides ever closer to its doom..."

"...From my point of view, the more, the merrier."

For once, the slimebag leftwing mayor is telling the truth.

The only way he wins is to have multiple conservatives to split the conservative base so that he can slip through with his 30%-35% support.

We need to make sure that we coalesce around one conservative candidate early enough to knock him out.

In Anger Management, he played Rudy Giuliani, the Mayor of New York. Big stretch there. He had a couple of lines, including the line USUALLY given to Rob Schneider in Adam Sandler movies “You can do it”.

I think he also said “let him talk”.
