Rudy Guliani Is Giving A Lesson On How To Be A Surrogate

[THUNDER HANDS]

Attack, attack, attack. Any word that's coming out of your mouth that isn't either praising your candidate or attacking your opponent is a wasted word.

As much as I hate him (and believe me, I hate Guliani) he's making an excellent appearance on Meet The Press.

I really wish our surrogates, including Schumer, knew what the purpose of being a surrogate or spokesman was and knew how to attack.

Yeah, Guliani is angry and slimey and a jerk - but when you're attacking someone, those are the qualities you want.

1. much to my disgust, I am watching too and I have to agree.

10. giuliani was good

Schumer was hampered a bit by the fact he's still in office...We need surrogates who aren't answering to voters basically.

[geek tragedy]

2. That's what Joe Biden should be doing. Where is Joe anyways?

Haven't seen him for days.

[Kdillard]

8. Joe is holding a rally today. I also read they are going to be

showcasing him more and he is getting ready for that.

3. He was an extremely successful prosecutor back in the day

the man can sell horseshit to a horse.

4. Watch Claire McCaskill on Stephanopolous

And fuck Gholiani -- if he doesn't have the guts or character to face an Obama surrogate face-to-face (and he doesn't) he can go to Hell, which he's going to anyway.

5. Helps when there's no cross-examination from the defense

Are he and BrokenJaw going to make plans for dinner when it's over?

[Bonn1997]

7. I agree

I can't believe when Guliani said that if it was up to Barrack Obama we'd have left Iraq before the job was done that Brokaw didn't reply and say "Or maybe we would have never gone into Iraq and we'd be finishing off the terrorists who hit us on 9/11"

[Bonn1997]

6. A good measure of how successful as surrogate you are is...

how angry and frustrated your claims make those on the other side feel and by that measure, I'd certainly say he succeeded.

[BklynChick]

9. I was seething during that segment so I guess he did his job.

[alsame]

11. He was effective because Brokaw didn't challenge anything he

said. It really helps when the media does half the work for you. I thought Rudy was back pedaling a bit about all the criticism of community organizers, now he's saying that Obama was not an EFFECTIVE community organizer and his projects failed.

[Cha]

13. brokaw is a whore for war..fuck him and his legacy.

fuck the ghouli too.

[jbnow]

12. Not the right lesson. Our surrogates should attack but

attack by telling the truth, not with lie after lie.

The truth about Obama would win him votes, the truth about McCain would lose him votes.

We just need the truth clearly asserted.
