Giuliani: I Answered My Wife's Call During Speech Because Of 9/11

[kpete]

Giuliani also addressed a cell phone call he took from his wife, Judith, last week during his speech to the National Rifle Association, an important appearance because Giuliani clashed with the group when he argued for tougher gun control as mayor of New York.

"And quite honestly, since Sept. 11, most of the time when we get on a plane, we talk to each other and just reaffirm the fact that we love each other," he said.

"Sometimes if I'm in the middle of a very, very sensitive meeting, I don't take the call right then; I wait. But I thought it would be kind of nice if I took it at that point, and I'd done that before in engagements, and I didn't realize it would create any kind of controversy," he said.

1. Lawdy.

The man would invoke 911 as a reason for taking a dump.

[hobbit709]

7. What you mean "would"?

[Kutjara]

10. ROFL. I was getting ready to post the exact same thing...

...after reading the OP. Guliani raises shamelessness to an art form. I'm surprised he hasn't created a celebrity aftershave called "9/11," with a picture of him in a fireman's helmet on the bottle.

[SoCalDem]

31. If you shit your pants, the terrorists win. I thought everyone knew that..

that's why babies are such sinister characters,, they will look at you all smiley-faced as they take a dump in their diapers.. They sneer at 911, and willfully shit their pants.. They are in league with the terrorists.. they scream and everyone jumps to placate them, they reach for something and go "aaaeehh", and people just hand things to them, they see something they want, they just grab it..

[truedelphi]

56. Yu're hitting the nail on the head. I mean, allthose unsolved

Murder cases - in every case like that - not a single baby was interogated as to their whereabouts
at the timeof the crime.

And if they were to be interrogated - they'd tell you they were indeed off pooping their pants.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

58. And those Yaks.

They shit everywhere! They hate the US and freedom, obviously. Especially when they shit their thongs.

[tblue37]

54. Ha! I posted mine before reading any other comments--

but I said he claims if he takes a piss it's because of 9/11.

[calimary]

63. ROFL

Give that man a DUzy!

:applause:

[truebrit71]

2. Oh gimme an effin' break...

...is there ANYTHING this blood-sucker won't use to refer to 9/11? :puke:

[bluethruandthru]

8. No, I don't think so!

"In honor of 9/11, Judy and I only have sex at 9PM or 11PM. We feel it's the least we can do to honor those who lost their lives that day".

[truebrit71]

20. ROFL!!!

..on second thoughts that's more worthy of a :puke: than a :rofl:...

[bluethruandthru]

51. Let's not think too hard about Judy and Rudy in the Nudy!

ICK!

[hobbit709]

3. Say that connected to a lie detector, Rudy

And even then I won't believe it.

[Richard Steele]

13. I have no doubt that he could.

He could say he personally saw the Clenis knock over WTC7
and the machine wouldn't move from baseline. No doubt.

[shance]

4. Lies, lies lies.......what is disturbing is how easily they do it.

n/t

[Richard Steele]

5. Just shoot me now.Recommended.

[Coexist]

6. "I am so completely ignorant of politics that I could not imagine my rudeness

would be noticed, and media harpies would wonder why I would do something so asinine.

VOTE FOR ME!"

[gateley]

9. Awww, that is SO SWEET! And to think I didn't like this guy! Go Rudy! nt

[sir_captain]

11. You know

I don't really see the big deal here. For years after 9/11 (maybe this is because I'm a New Yorker and felt a deep personal connection to what happened) I always called my girlfriend before I got on a plane to tell her that I loved her.

I'm not fan of Rudy, but this is not really something I'd call him to the carpet for, even if answering the call during his speech was pretty obvious political theater.

[jkshaw]

39. But sir_captain, this Guiliani cell phone stunt ...

... was so transparent. He could have called her or she could have called him before his speech or after. And he'd done it before at another venue, getting some laughs. It was obviously eyewash. It didn't go over too well with this audience. Calling in the middle of a speech? The height of arrogance on her part. Or cluelessness. Now he has to explain it away. What a phony, an inept phony at that. I can't imagine calling my husband in the middle of a lecture to a roomful of students. (I can imagine what he'd say to me about it later, though!)

[sir_captain]

43. Oh, agreed

that was an obvious and stupid stunt.

[LisaM]

12. Was she even his wife on 9/11/01?

Or was he still married to one of the other ones.

[Kutjara]

16. Rudy only has one wife.

Her face changes occasionally, but she is still "the wife." I'm sure her actual identity is no more important to Rudy than it is to the rest of us. After all, to a narcissist, other people are just interchangable puppets.

[Truthiness Inspector]

17. Zinger! LOL. n/t

[shain from kane]

25. "Giuliani subsequently married Judith Nathan on May 24, 2003..."

[johnnie]

35. And he wasn't divorced yet on 9-11

He is such a shit-for-brains.

[rurallib]

45. She don't trust him out of her sight

Wonder why?

[Pastiche423]

62. Judi! has never trusted any of her men

when they were out of her sight. That's why she clings to them and would claw anyone's eyes out that tried to come between her and her man (of the moment.)

Did you know Judi! is being kept away from venues where people from her past know her?

A reporter from the Charlotte Observer is researching an article about her. It was in Charlotte that Judi! grabbed tightly to Bruce Nathan's testicles and alienated him from all of his friends.

Way back then I hoped that Karma would catch up to her ass. Now that it has, I am one very happy camper.

[MorningGlow]

14. Ahhh let him do it

There's enough time between now and the primaries that he'll say it 50,000 times and maybe even the troglodytes in the voting pool will see his true self: an opportunistic clown.

[softwarevotingtrail]

This guy is such a family man - no wonder his kids CAN'T STAND HIM

My God, he makes me want to puke.

[Neecy]

15. what a dumbass

He took the call from his wife and cooed that he loved her in an attempt to make people forget all of the wives that proceeded this one.

To tack 9/11 on to this pitiful campaign trick is just further irritation. This jerk is a one-trick pony and the public is going to be sick of it well before the first primary.

[RufusTFirefly]

37. Bingo! Neecy wins a kewpie doll! n/t

[renie408]

18. I think I have to throw up now. n/t

[Swamp Rat]

19. Family valyooz + 911 propaganda in one, staged sound byte

:eyes:

[bif]

21. I heard the clip on the radio--almost threw up!

What kind of asshole takes a call in the middle of a speech?

[Lucinda]

22. I'll give him this much

He's sure got his 9/11 tie-ins down pat. :rofl:
We should start a list somewhere with all his "I do it because of 9/11" rationale.

[Ganja Ninja]

23. Oh for Christsakes!

Give it a rest Rudy. It's a cheesy, lame stunt and your constant invoking of 9/11 is ghoulish and nauseating.

Is it just me or is everyone getting a little tired of Rudy going on about his marital bliss?

[tanyev]

24. Er...OK, that's worth a couple saccharin points.

So now the question is, what kind of self-centered inconsiderate person doesn't know when her spouse is giving important speeches and/or doesn't care?

[Bucky]

29. Oh, my heart! Too much saccharin! I'm dyin' here...

Just kidding. Rudy kills me with dehydration, not heart attacks.

[Mythsaje]

26. "I eat breakfast because of 9/11."

"I brush my teeth because of 9/11."

"I change my shorts because of 9/11."

"I put my pants on one leg at a time because of 9/11."

"I walk one foot in front of the other because of 9/11."

"I wipe my butt because of 9/11."


Is there ANYTHING Rudy doesn't do because of 9/11?

[tridim]

40. I nuked every ME country except Israel because of 9/11 n/t

[rurallib]

42. Tell the truth?

:shrug:

[TomInTib]

49. The one thing he doesn't do is respect it.

The man (and I use that word very loosely) has less honor than a crack-whore streetwalker.

[Sparkly]

52. LOL

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

27. Putz.

"If I don't let you interrupt my speeches darling, the terrorists win."

[AlCzervik]

28. this is from the Onion right? OMG *THUD*. i making some tea--guess why?

i give up.

[NewJeffCT]

30. "Rudy Giuliani: Humping 9/11 since 9/12"

A bumper sticker suggestion I saw on Daily Kos last week.

[LibDemAlways]

32. So Judi has nothing better to do than call

Rudy during speeches. And he feels compelled to answer so everyone can see for themselves what a loving husband he is? What a load of horseshit.

[babylonsister]

33. He's got a pair or two, doesn't he. No shame. nt

[LSK]

34. does he piss and shit because of 9/11 too?

:rofl:

[BootinUp]

36. how much lower can this pandering asswipe go? n/t

[me b zola]

38. They should have loaded Giuliani's sorry ass onto one of the barges

that they used to haul the rubble off to the landfill. That way Giuliani could have spent eternity in the ash of 9/11.

[Hissyspit]

41. AAAAAAAAAAAGG! n/t

[Pawel K]

44. When I read your subject I thought this was another onion post

I can't believe this asshole actually said that, what a prick.

[Jim Lane]

59. Yup, add me to the "Onion" contingent

Well, actually, I thought it more likely that it was original satire by a DUer. That detail aside, I was genuinely surprised to realize that the headline was literal truth -- that he really did say that.

It's no wonder that Onion pieces occasionally get picked up as true, when stuff like this turns out to be true.

[ramapo]

46. This guy has a mental disorder

He should go for a week or two without saying 9/11 and we can see if he has anything left to talk about.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

47. Sounds as if he's suffering from PTSD... If he were running in my party I'd be concerned.

I'm just sayin'. ;)

[bigscott]

48. what a

fucking douche bag

[rucky]

50. Does Rudy need help?

Professional help?

[tblue37]

53. When he takes a piss, it's because of 9/11. (eom)

[opihimoimoi]

55. Rudy and the rest of them are so full of shit its coming out of their ears...

It was a gimmick that flopped on the second attempt....

Is that he got??

Tel Calls?

WTF?

What else he got?

If this is the best them Pubs can do...I am SORRY

[LeftishBrit]

57. It reminds me of the old game...

where you're given a word, and you have to answer EVERY question you're asked with that word. In the case of Giuliani, the word is "9-11"! Very very creepy.

[Canuckistanian]

60. My (9/11) fellow (9/11) Americans (9/11).....

People are going to loathe that pretty soon.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

61. Every time he blows his nose or gets the runs it's because of 9/11

What a way to be patriotic!
I'm going to start. When I go to lunch today at McD's , I'm going to ask for more letchup "because of 9/11"
