Rudy on Obama's drug use

Former Hillary Clinton adviser Bill Shaheen may have predicted recently Republicans would make a big issue out of Barack Obama's youthful cocaine use, but Rudy Giuliani on Saturday suggested that wouldn't be the case with him:

"It seemed to me, the brief attention I paid to it, (Obama) answered it. He answered it in an honest way,'' Giuliani told Buzz. "I admire that. I admire people that are honest. I don't think it's a bigger issue.''

About 200 people showed up to see Giuliani's speech in Tampa.

"If you are looking for perfection, you are not going to find it. Not in me, not in any candidate. But if you are looking for a leader who has been tested in times of crisis,  A leader who is ready to lead right now, a leader who has achieved results – results that some people thought were impossible – a leader who believes that there is no problem too serious for American solutions and a free, American spirit, I believe I am that leader," he said in the speech that may have been a bit over-hyped by team Rudy.

Giuliani was joined by his wife, to whom we'll give props because we saw her go out of her way to personally and warmly thank the local cops helping with security.

And he honestly wants to the race to be him against Obama, not Clinton!

Rudy is so over here in Florida.

Rudy=DOA....

It was probably that picture of the hotel your security detail stayed in in the New York Times.
(Oh THAT picture!)

The one while you you were on business
(?..nope) somewhere, not on your schedule. Oh yeah, the weekends billed to the disabled and paid for by the taxpayers in New York.

And you talk aobut reforming "entitlements".

Rudy seems to have missed the fact that cheating on your wife is dishonest. He has never answered Tim Russert's question--if the President of the US has a mistress, does the Secret Service protect the wife and the mistress? Would the SS protect the mistress from the wife?

If that is your best shot at Rudy, he is in really good shape!

two words

President Giuliani

I actually admire him for answering the way he did. No chance I'd ever vote for Guiliani, but it is refreshing to see a politician taking the high road and not choosing to take cheap shots at an opponent.

Perhaps he knows the old proverb about not casting stones when one lives in a glass house.

Did only 200 attendees show up for Rudy on Saturday?

virtually anybody who DIDNT atleat experiment with illegal substances in her or his youth is worthless, in my opinion!

it shows a total lack of curiosity and necessary rebelliousness.

on the other hand, id like to hear for republicans who have offered unwavering support for a now-self-admitted, untreated, dry drunk for the past seven years!!

huh?

got any comments?

So; what do you think the incestuous, cheating, cross-dressing freak named Judy Riliani, who exploits the death of innocent Americans for personal and political gains, experimented with… I mean besides his little sister.
