** Rudy's "Surprise" Cell Phone Call From Judi -- It's Happened Before

What A Coincidence! Rudy's "Surprise" Cell Phone Call From Judi -- It's Happened Before
By Greg Sargent - September 21, 2007, 2:54PM

While delivering his big speech today before the National Rifle Association, Rudy was interrupted by a cell phone call from his wife, Judith Nathan. An apparently surprised Rudy told the crowd, "it's my wife," spoke to her for a moment, and closed the call with a touching, I'm-happily-married moment, saying, "I love you" to her in front of a crowd of gun rights types.

Is it possible that the man forgot to turn off his cell -- or at least stick the thing on vibrate -- while giving a major speech that could be critical to the outcome of his candidacy? Or is it possible that Judi didn't know about the speech?

On the other hand, it turns out that this isn't the first time this has happened to Rudy, whose past failed marriages could turn out to be a liability among conservative voters. A rival campaign has sent us some video of Rudy receiving a very similar "surprise" call from Judy at the podium during an event last June. And he did the "I love you" thing then, too.

1. Stagecraft, nothing more.

"Surprised", my ass!

[asjr]

12. Gives new meaning to the word

pandering.

[Whoa_Nelly]

2. It's a Rudy the Clown Show gimmick/schtick

Amend that: Rudy The Asshat Clown Show

[midlife_mo_Jo]

30. Shtick - a good word for this LOL nt

nt

[Avalux]

3. Anyone who thinks that call wasn't orchestrated is an idiot.

When I heard the audio of 'the call' I thought to myself - he sounds like a bad actor in a B movie.

[hobbit709]

4. All the world's a stage

[Jade Fox]

5. Actually, the call was from his NEXT wife......

the woman he's cheating on Judy with!

[NanceGreggs]

6. Oh my God ...

... you're probably right!!!

:rofl:

[Jade Fox]

23. They need to be clear: Rudy's current wife, last wife, first wife, or next wife?

"Rudy Guiliani's wife" covers a lot of territory!

[TwilightGardener]

7. Absolutely silly. I thought Roooody was a better politician than this.

[vssmith]

15. He's a lover not a politician.

[nuxvomica]

8. I think he let it happen on purpose

I'm gonna assume he didn't make it happen cuz that would be a crazy conspiracy theory. ;-)

[Ilsa]

11. I think it was MIHOP, not LIHOP! nt

[Cha]

9. Adultry? Like that hasn't happened

to any of his hypocritical base. Whata gonna do..rudy needs to reASSure everyone that it's judy judy judy and Only judy. No new conquests until this farce is over.

[Ilsa]

10. He was totally unsurprised that it rang. HE picked it up and knew

without looking at the phone that it was her, if it really was her. Really bad acting. And senseless, too: it took away from his message, so maybe I shouldn't make fun of it.

[AlCzervik]

13. he was justing trying to be "Disarming".

see what i dud there? Thank you, i'll be here all week.

[PSPS]

14. I wonder which lowly campaign staffer was on the line while he "spoke with his wife?"

[bklyncowgirl]

16. Probably some fat guy in suspenders with a cigar in his mouth.

Seriously, don't candidates normally turn off their assorted cell phones, blackberries, etc. before giving a speech to avoid embarrassing interruptions.

[nuxvomica]

32. Are you insinuating it was Bernie Kerik?

Hmmm. That would explain the "I love you."

[bklyncowgirl]

33. Oh God, that image, you just spoiled an excellent breakfast.

Homemade waffles with strawberries and you have to bring up Rudy & Bernie in a compromising position.

Fortunately there's plenty of evidence that both are very, very heterosexual--of course there's always foursomes.

EEEEEWWWWWWW!!!!

[Nutmegger]

17. He's such a fraud.

Most of us see right through that bullshit.

[malaise]

18. It demonstrated yet again that Rudy

has no class. That was beyond vulgar.

[Whoa_Nelly]

19. Sing with me! "It's the Rudy and Judi Shoooow!

[Bluebear]

20. Now, if he'd answered the phone with "Bitch, I'm trying to give a speech here. Damn!"...

and hung up and said, "Women! Sheesh!" then he would have got a standing ovation from the NRA.

That from the comments section at tpmelectioncentral :) And too true.

[texanshatingbush]

21. Reminded me of an old Bob Newhart comedy skit......

...guess I'm showing my age. What worked for Bob, however, is highly suspect coming from Rudy.

[TheCentepedeShoes]

22. He's been watching

too many old Bob Newhart skits.

[Goblinmonger]

24. LEAVE RUDY ALONE

How many of you have done what he has done? yadda yadda yadda

For those of you under a rock, search for Leave Brittany Alone on youtube and see a fantastic emo spectacle.

[AlCzervik]

26. ***giggle***

"You bastards!"

[Goblinmonger]

27. Have you seen the Seth Green segment

that he did for The Soup? It is a fabulous satire and is out there on youtube as well.

[AlCzervik]

29. i did and it was funny as hell.

:hi:

i love The Soup and Best week ever on VH1.

[Goblinmonger]

31. I live for The Soup

Usually the most entertaining moments of the week.

"...or platform pumps, or whatever he wears but I bet their stylish."

[spanone]

25. it's showbiz baby!

[lligrd]

28. Shows He Lacks Respect For His Audience

I wonder how he would treat his staff if they took private phone calls during meetings with him? My guess is he wouldn't tolerate it.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

34. When I saw the clip, I wondered if the phone even rang. He could have been talking

to himself for all we know. Whatever it was, it appeared to be a ploy.
