Giuliani: I'm Among Best Known Americans

LONDON (AP) - Rudy Giuliani was on the trans-Atlantic campaign trail Wednesday, schmoozing with conservative idol Margaret Thatcher and bragging about his international credentials.
"I'm probably one of the four or five best known Americans in the world," Giuliani told a small group of reporters at a posh London hotel as onlookers gathered in the lobby to gawk at actor Dustin Hoffman, who was on a separate visit.

The former New York mayor is the latest GOP presidential candidate to travel to Britain, meeting the country's new political guard and rubbing elbows with Thatcher, an icon for American conservatives.

He also was asked to deliver a special lecture at the Atlantic Bridge, a group that promotes ties between British and American conservatives.

Giuliani told reporters he has made 91 trips to 35 countries in five years and many governments seek him out for advice on security. He was given an honorary knighthood in 2002 by Queen Elizabeth II for his leadership after the Sept. 11 terror attacks.

But who are the four other best-known Americans?

"Bill Clinton ... Hillary," he said, but he was whisked away for another engagement before he could throw out any other names.

1. he`s so full of shit

[EFerrari]

7. He said Bill and Hillary but not Bush and Laura.

Oops

[BrklynLib at work]

2. What a complete and total schmuck. He sure is one of the best known of those...

[spanone]

3. shut the fuck up rudy

[Virginia Dare]

5. Can you imagine being subjected to this ahole for four years or more..

after the tortuous eight years of the stupid idiotic chimp, can you just imagine what we'd have to endure with the continuous self aggrandizing of the blowhard Rudy? I get sick to my stomach even contemplating it..:puke:

[Virginia Dare]

4. Right behind Paris Hilton and Britney Spears....n/t

[dancingme]

10. and OJ

:spray:

[C_U_L8R]

6. full of himself

pah spit

[lonestarnot]

8. Fuck you Giuliani you strutting wannabe peacock. I don't know you and don't care to.

[peacetalksforall]

9. That is as stupid and ego-centered as something king george would say.

What a joke.

[supernova]

11. And that's a great qualification for Pres?

:eyes:

Rudy, Rudy, Rudy. You need to go back to your quiet rich life and leave the running of the country to the experts.

[Retired AF Dem]

12. Who?

[Arger68]

13. Yeah right, maybe one of the four or five best known

cross-dressers in America.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

17. Although I really don't care....

Although I really don't care about Rudy cross-dressing and far as I know, he's only done it publically as a joke and not recreationally (a la J. Edgar Hoover), I do have to say one thing.

That picture, if Rudy gets the nomination, will put Michael Dukakis in a tank to shame in terms of embarassing photos of a candidate and doing irrepairable damage to his reputation.

[Submariner]

22. "will put Michael Dukakis in a tank to shame" = Exactly

The Dem candidate just needs to keep showing that photo in TV ads with a voice-over that says, "Do you (America) want this person representing the U.S. as the leader of the free-world?"

[KharmaTrain]

14. Rudy's Run For Cash...

The reason Ghouliani is in London is to squeeze cash out of American ex-pats (and who knows who else)...note that whatever Rudy says, his hand is out...looking for the cash. His attacks on MoveOn and Hillary are pure cash plays right now in an attempt to line up cash that is starting to get hard to come by.

The goofy thing is Rudy's "Great White Hope" act is what really has him still running strong. It's not "terrorism" of A-rabs as much as its the fear of Hillary that is the base of his candidacy and popularity.

[MrModerate]

15. And clumsy, arrogant, mendacious, offputting, smarmy . . .

Shit like that is exactly why I want Giuliani to win the 'Lican primary. Whoever the Dem is will be able to use him like a Handi-wipe (actually the off-brand, the one that comes apart with one swipe in the commercials).

[Tommy_Carcetti]

16. Narcissitic personality disorder, anyone?

4 years of Rudy would be nearly as bad as the 8 years we've had of Dubya. I pray this man is not elected and people will see him for who he really is. He is no hero.

[Bluebear]

19. John Edwards: Giuliani is Bush on steroids!

[Tommy_Carcetti]

23. NPD symptoms

At least five of the following are necessary for a diagnosis (as with many DSM diagnoses, they must form a pervasive pattern; for example, a person who shows these criteria only in one or two relationships or situations would not properly be diagnosed with NPD):

1. has a grandiose sense of self-importance
2. is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
3. believes that he or she is "special" and unique and can only be understood by other special people
4.requires excessive admiration
5. strong sense of entitlement
6. takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends
7. lacks empathy
8. is often envious or believes others are envious of him or her
9. arrogant affect.

Isn't Rudy always comparing himself to Winston Churchill?

[annabanana]

18. Yeah, You and Jeffrey Dahmer.. . . .n/t

[no_hypocrisy]

20. Taking a bow for being in the Gallery of Rogues is no honor.

1. Ronald Reagan
2. Bush #41
3. Bush #43
4. Dick Cheney
5. Donald Rumsfeld
6. Condoleeza Rice
7. Henry Kissinger
8. Richard Nixon

Does Giuliani aspire to be a future war criminal too?

[Missy M]

21. It would be fun to go to a bunch of different countries....

and ask the man on the street who Rudy is. Bet most don't know.

[sinkingfeeling]

24. Rudy can't get elected; he wouldn't be able to get his head in the WH limo!

[htuttle]

25. "...as onlookers gathered in the lobby to gawk at actor Dustin Hoffman"

:rofl:

[Oilwellian]

26. ROFL

[Bitwit1234]

27. What I find sickening is ...this turd represents the USA

[lligrd]

28. He's Infamous And Bragging About It? nt
