We have a winner!!
SHHHHH!!! be berry berry quiet! ;-)
That's a great post - I laughed out loud. Well done.
All the Giuliani in drag pics circulating around seems to have worked in his favor. He now has the drag queen vote, plus all the closet queens out there. There must be more of them than anyone imagined...
I don’t get it.
I hope none of our other Republican candidates prostrate themselves in such a way.
But I suppose they will.
BTW, I put Time Russert (D), NBC, in the same category.
Those photos don’t mean a thing. Everyone in the U.S. who’ve seen it remembers when Rudy did that and why he did it. For a charity event. People don’t have any problems with joking around for a charity event if its to raise money for a good cause.
They will all do it. Every candidate will go on Oprah (remember George Bush and Al Gore?) Also, Saturday Night live, Jay Leno and Letterman. They all will do it. I guarantee it. McCain just happens to be the first that’s all.
I know, I know, but it turns my stomach when they appear with those who work daily to smear and slander them, their President, and the war effort.
I just could not do it, never.
If it is Rudy versus Barack in the general election, I predict you will see a landslide win that will set a new election record. Will Barack win any states?
Just out of curiosity, are you a man or a woman?

But you wait. Wait until the people find out he kills babies, hates ferrets, kisses gays, will take your gun away, and dodged the draft. Then he’ll drop like a rock in the polls. Well if having more than twice the support than your closest rival in a Rasmussen poll is a drop, I’ll take it. :-)
a 62% favorability rating is nothign to sneeze at
as Kenny Banyon from Seinfeld used to say “That’s Gold Jerry!”

WOW! Good stuff. I wish I could post that!
MD, IL,
Interesting lesson. Surely nobody in the race is as well-known as John McCain. He ran for President in 2000, he’s on the news once or twice a week, he’s known as a maverick, he’s on letterman, leno, comedy central.
If there was any candidate for which the claim “everybody knows exactly what he is and what he stands for” was true, it would be McCain.
So for those of you who argue Rudy is already well-known, people understand his positions, that there is no downside for him now, just look at the Rasmussen poll numbers for McCain.
The “electorate” perception of him as “conservative” has gone up by double-digits in 3 months. Whoa, how did so many “likely Republcian Primary Voters” suddenly learn he was a conservative? They didn’t know him already?
Also, his favorability ratings dropped like a rock in the last couple of weeks. What, people didn’t already know he supported the war, Republican Likely Primary Voters are actually learning something about McCain they don’t like? How could that be?
So don’t tell me that Rudy is so well-known that his positions are already reflected in the poll numbers. McCain was just taken out in a week by a simple media blitz about his “conservative positions”.
The Media would have a field day with Rudy, whenever they wanted to. If the media tomorrow decided to tell the public that Rudy was NOT a hero of 9/11, but was rather a person to be loathed, his numbers would drop like a rock, because people don’t have any reason for their support for him other than “The Media Told Us He’s Lovable”.
