Notice how Madame DeFarge doesn’t say specifically or exactly what it was she did for New York State... damned if I can find what it is.

Good morning folks.

Just stopped in to give you all a heads up on the Rudy flap. Forgive me for not perusing the thread first. I will in a bit but for now....heh.

First, I never, not for one minute, thought that the cell phone call in the middle of Rudy’s speech before the NRA was from his wife. I know the political elites think we are stupid out here in la-la land where we’re busy carrying this country on our backs while raising the soldiers and citizens of tomorrow. But most of us live in a world where certain venues are not suitable for cell phones and, silly us, WHILE GIVING A SPEECH IS ONE OF THEM!

Now I didn’t know why Rudy even had a damn cell phone with him during that speech. Most of us fools here in la-la land would not even carry one to the podium but for sure we’d turn the thing off. Raise your hands out there who would actually ANSWER the thing when in the middle of a speech. I look about and see NO hands raised.

So then he looks out and tells us that it’s his wife on the line. Effectively, yon ladies and gems, urinating upon our collective feet whilst telling us it is raining.

That was Rudy’s STAFF calling him. For it seems that ole Rudy was all busy quoting the FOURTH ammendment instead of the second ammendment.

Indeed, thanks to the miracle of Youtube, us peasants can go back and listen to the narrative then upon when Rudy’s wife, heh, called.

Evidently Rudy has a special cell phone that he carries around for when he goofs up because, well what’s the other explanation? That his wife called him in the middle of the speech and he actually answered it? Believe what you want but if you believe this know I have a bridge for sale...cheap.

The audacity of such a stunt!

First, you got a speech before the NRA. How difficult is this to learn...what?...the ONE ammendment so important to that organization? Second, you muff that up....heh, so you have your staff call you up in the middle of the speech and set you on the right direction. THAT is not the sign of a leader and they make fun of George Dubya Bush’s verbal bumblings.

Remember folks, this is the SECOND time Rudy’s got a cell phone call in the middle of a speech. Heh.

Fool us oncit, shame on you. Fool us twicit, shame on us.

What, Rudy’s gonna have his chief of staff call him when he’s working out details with dictators and such should he mess up?

This incident is gonna sink the guy. There’s a whole thread on this topic, which I bet most of you have perused, below this thread on breaking news.

Rudy’s dead. People don’t like being fooled and treated like idiots.

Well, Hillary made the rounds today to almost uniform applause. She acts, looks and is treated like the next POTUS.

It is difficult to tell whether the powers that be really want her or whether they are just fearful of crossing her because she will have power and is noted for getting even.

This is the week that was. While we censure, debate and impugn the character of our candidates, the RATS are almost all unified and desirous of victory at any price. It’s Hillary all the way, every day come what may.

In case you missed the FoxNews interview of Hillary Clinton, the most salient points are at this youtube link:

Another stellar inclusion in the HillSpeak lexicon is coined: “Government Coersion” = “Shared Responsibility”. T

Her phony smile is disgusting. As she moves her head up and down while Chris is asking a question, she looks like a bobble head doll.

Where’s Fred????? Is it true that he took the week off to rest? It was mentioned on FR but I thought it was a joke. I hope he did not vacation already.

FRiends, try not to let it get you down. Let her sit on her high horse right now, thinking we are all swooning after the Hillary Lovefest weekend. Let her get good and cocky and think she has it all wrapped up.

After watching Greenspan on C-span last night, I liked him a lot more than I expected to! Also, there must be more to Andrea Mitchell than I thought for her to be married to this remarkable and seemingly wise man.

If I understand him correctly:

He considers himself to be a libertarian, to consider capitalism the great hope for universal prosperity, and to favor as little government interference as necessary. He and I are completely alike on these points.

He also observed that Clinton's fiscal policy was far more sound than that of George Bush and the 2001 Republican Congress. This makes sense to me too. I think that Bush and the Republican Congress have been horribly irresponsible fiscally and, in this respect, have utterly failed their constituents and their country!

For ONE example of many--my observation not Greenspans: Just as the U.S. Social Security System teters on the brink of bankruptcy, George Bush makes the brilliant decision to provide its entitlements to Mexico.

Question? - I tuned into ABC “This Week” near the end, but still thought it was early enough that I should have caught “In Memorium”, was that part of the show today?

Finally drug myself to watch the vcr tape of cackling Hillary. Some chore. I think what will come out of the FOX freeby RAT commercial is that Hillary is to be touted as moving to the center. I have seen the word ‘center’ pop up in several things I have read today. It seems to me that tho unacknowledged as such, the Genl BETRAYUS ad was her cue for a Sister Soljah moment. Whether contrived or accidental, the Sorros MoveOn ad is being seen as excessive so now she can pull back some from ardently supporting the communist/socialist left. If the MSM now touts her as a centrist then that is what she is. At least for those who want or need an excuse to vote for her. One good thing, we will not have to go thru another exposure to her on FOX for some time as she rations her appearances. Brit and Chris put out the welcome mat for her and I suppose that was the polite, as well as prudent job wise, thing to do so I give them both a pass.

Good gosh. Looks like this needed a serious BARF alert in the title. I bet the queeen annointed had nothing but nerf balls thrown at her today. I may forgo even reading any FReeper replies., but I’d wager if she was even asked about her vote to condem the MoveOn.org ad in the NY Slimes.
