Giuliani compares McCain's al Qaeda in Iran gaffe to Obama saying he was in St. Louis Monday night

http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_10317136

<snip>

And, when asked about a gaffe McCain made about Iran in March, Giuliani bristled. McCain, in two separate instances, repeatedly said the Iranians, who are predominantly Shia, were training Al Qaida operatives in Iraq. Al Qaida is a Sunni group, a fact that McCain acknowledged after it was whispered in his ear by Sen. Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut, the Democrats' vice-presidential nominee in 2000.

Giuliani said candidates during a campaign sometimes get details mixed up when speaking. He pointed out, for example, that Obama, while speaking via satellite Monday night, said he was in St. Louis when he was really in Kansas City.

"When Sen. McCain does it, it becomes a major issue in the press," Giuliani said. "When Sen. Obama does it, it gets buried."



:rofl:

2. Yeah, we're really fighting Al Qaeda in Kansas, and Obama said we were fighting in Missouri?
McCain's goof was of just SLIGHTLY bigger consequence......

3. Yeah. Same thing exactly, Rudy.
:sarcasm:

This line of thinking alone makes Guliani unfit for office (I hope McCain picks him!).

6. Are McCain's houses made of glass and everyone is throwing stones?
But, isn't McCain "ready to lead?"

7. That dog won't hunt, Rudy.
Keep making the comparison though, because it is asinine and it reminds anyone that may have forgotten, that your boy doesn't know the difference between sunni and shia.
