AX FALLS AT RUDY FIRM (Judi's checking the mail)

Giuliani Partners, Rudy's consulting firm, has laid off staffers as the business is reshaped after his failed presidential campaign........layoffs involved at least five administrative staffers.

Judi Giuliani must get agita everytime the mailman delivers---figuring the divorce papers are in transit. Besides Rudy's ridiculous "Save Myself For Florida" strategy, Judi, more than anyone, should be blamed for Rudy's ignominious fall from power. Judi brought enough political baggage to fill a Louis Vuitton trunk.

Clearly, Rudy's ignominious presidential flop can be traced back to Judi - the woman he fell for when she stalked him in a cigar bar in 1999 ---- when he was the married mayor with a wife and two young children at home. "She was a major part of the reason for Giuliani's collapse," said Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia's Center for Politics. "Rudy wanted to head up the 'family values' party, and Judi didn't fit that label. " Even more egregious, Judi was instrumental in Giuliani's estrangement from his children. Their refusal to campaign for their own father spoke volumes to voters.

The political hits just kept coming. Among the misfires that brought national embarrassment to the one-time RINO frontrunner: (1) Rudy's cutting off his wife's security detail in favor of giving Judi taxpayer-funded NYPD detectives 24/7 as personal valets, dog-walkers and chauffeurs while she was the mayor's mistress; (2) Judi's revelations of a secret past marriage; and, (3) staging a cell phone call in the midst of Giuliani addressing the National Rifle Association.

Mike McKeon, the Giuliani campaign aide who was in charge of handling Mrs. Giuliani's national "roll-out" said that despite her lack of campaigning, she was an experienced public speaker who would remain on the trail. "Judith is nothing but an asset, and, as the campaign continues, she's going to be a larger and larger asset," he had said. "She'll be one of our key surrogates." That about sums up the series of flops that totaled Giuliani's aspirations.

Doubts emerged early about Judi, the former pharmaceutical sales rep. She had to fess up to the world that she had forgotten she had a first husband---even Rudy did not know he was married to a serial divorcee. Her willingness to be squired around to official functions by the married mayor and her complicity in the humiliation of his wife were not to be tolerated.

Judith Giuliani's rollout on ABC's 20/20 where she said she would sit in Cabinet meetings was a monumental disaster. So much so the two had to inveigle Sean Hannity to re-interview them to refute the statement. Judi was rolled back inside the campaign tent as fast as she was rolled out.

I would venture to say the Giulani "campaign" was the biggest flop in the history of modern day politics.

Thank you, God.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Rudy came up with the perfect plan. For whom it was perfect, is anyone’s guess.

[Clemenza]

Rudy spent 40 Million dollars and only got one more delegate than I did.

[UCFRoadWarrior]

Hmmm...Rudy cant get a loan from his partners at Dubai Ports? Or, dinero from the NAFTA Superhighway people?

Wonder if McAztlan can get him more non-American work

[pallis]

Now, now folks, Rudy did give us Senator Hillary Clinton.

[Dick Bachert]

YOU’RE WELCOME!

......the Giulani "campaign" was the biggest flop in the history of modern day politics..........

Some pundits have likened it to the biggest flop in a millenium.

I maintain it was his wacky strategy that did him in. As one pundit put it---his campaign was a mix of arrogance and ignorance. Rudy had a sneering contempt for the electorate----he stupidly thought they could not see through his campaign facade.

Giuliani now says he was "aware" his strategy of bypassing early primary states carried high risks. "We were defying conventional wisdom. We had no choice but to do that. I wasn't going to change my positions"........

This strategy is better known as Rudy's Kicking Conservatives to the Curb By Destroying the Repub Party Strategy. The be-all and end-all of the RINO's campign was to religiously cleanse the Repub Party and throw conservatives off the party lifeboat---based on the ignorant assumprtion that conservatives were going to rollover and play dead. That didn't happen--conservatives are the ones that defeated this unremitting liberal fraud.

------------------------------------------------------

Let's not ever, ever forget----Giuliani rigorously competed in every primary/and caucus state, spent $60 million and garnered one delegate. His so-called "withdrawal" from the race was not of his own volition---he gamely campaigned 61 days straight in Fla and finished a distant third. The more voters saw and heard this charlatan, the more his candidacy nosedived. Good riddance.

[oldbill]

Is he going to hire illegals to replace them?

They do save you a lot of money.

[DocH]

Couldn't have happened to a "nicer" a**hole RINO.

Too bad for the goofballs that hung their hats on this "rising" "star" though.

And then there's the same type of Freeper goofballs that did the same thing.

Too bad we couldn't have a real, no-shiite Conservative representing us, but at least mccain, though a RINO, is no where near as bad as jack-booted-thug rudolph.

[DocH]

Rudy spent 40 Million dollars and only got one more delegate than I did.

Sounds like that'd be a great tagline.

Billy Kristol (Fox pundit) his daddy, and that crowd, switched to McCain when their boy Giuliani tanked like a deadweight going down a 300 ft cistern. Keep in mind, the Kristols are cheerleaders for the current admin's most destructive polices---including the twice-failed illegals amnesty plan.

The Kristols are the architects of Giuliani's failed strategy to religiously cleanse the Repub party and kick conservatives to the curb.

Watch candidate McCain talk about illegals, the Kristol's Hundred Year War, and not pandering to conservatives----McCain's posture changes---like the Kristol's are tightening his leash.

[Liz]

MEMO TO McCAIN: If you wanna win, baby, you better tell the hyphenate crowd to get lost.....and that includes Mexican loyalist Juan Hernandez.

McCain's indoctrinated with the Kristol's Dump Conservatives line---saying he won't "pander" to so/cons to get this important constituency behind his candidacy. According to McQueeg, it's called "pandering" only when applied to conservatives.

McC has no problem pandering to illegals McCain chose a dual-loyalty traitor to be his "Hispanic Outreach Director." Talk about pandering-----McCain said he chose Hernandez because he agrees with his positions.

Juan Hernandez was born in Dallas and decided as an adult to become a dual-national Mexican citizen. His last verifiable job was serving in Mexican President Vicente Fox's cabinet as Fox's "American Reconquista Director." Hernandez then worked for Bush hater George Soros' international foundations---(one such foundation published Hernendez's book that taunts Americans).

Hernandez believes all illegal Mexicans and Mexican-Americans in the USA should become dual citizens and consider themselves Mexicans first, "to the 8th generation." The "New American Pioneers" proclaimed in his book are the illegal alien invaders he urges to become settlers in the USA for "Reconquista"---the plan to take back the SW.

"This strategy is better known as Rudy's Kicking Conservatives to the Curb By Destroying the Repub Party Strategy."

The strategy has been morphed into the"McCain's Kicking Conservatives to the Curb By Destroying the Repub Party Strategy." Unfortunately, it seems to have worked for McCain. This makes me wonder if the entire strategy all along was to first show Giuliani as unbearable, then we would accept McCain as a compromise.

As much as I despise Judi, Giuliani chose her, and chose to allow her to participate in his campaign. It’s his poor judgment that is to blame.

[Designer]

"Rudy came up with the perfect plan. For whom it was perfect, is anyone’s guess."

Uuhh...McCain?

That'd be my guess.

[Conspiracy Guy]

That is how it worked out.

[highball]

Rudy came up with the perfect plan. For whom it was perfect, is anyone’s guess.

Perfect for the country - we couldn't afford to have him in the White House.

[Conspiracy Guy]

I agree with that. I just can’t figure out why he even put his name up with such a stupid strategy.

[cricket]

Among those let go was the sister of Beth Petrone-Hatton, Giuliani's longtime assistant, the sources said.

. . .whatever. . .

His self-determined 'death-dive' notwithstanding; have been wondering what Rudy has been up to lately. . .and if wife, Judi is fully recovered.
