  • So what your're saying is that

    Jimmy Carter, the Muslim world's favorite President fucked it all up on purpose or out of pure stupidity?

  • A little lost...

    Even if Regan had all these magic powers of shooting lazer beams out of his eyes to free hostages, what does this have to do with the man who's actually spinning these yarns? Is Giuliani trying to badly allude that he, too, has lazer beams blasting out of his eyeballs to shoot down terrorists? I mean, he can talk all he wants about how awesomely amazing Regan was as a president, but what does Giuliani actually plan to DO?

    Also, forbid there's actually non-Islamic terrorists, is Giuliani prepared to act in that situation?

  • The real reason they were released

    Reagan had a deal with the Iranians. They naturally prefer Republicans, since the Republican Party pays off better.

  • The media's going to respond to the falsehoods? On what planet?

    I could see maybe the foreign press picking up this story and pointing out Giuliani's memory-hole nonsense, but the American press is largely going to treat this the same way they treated the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth and the various insane smears against Al Gore (you know, "inventor of the internet" and all that)... in other words, by maintaining absolute silence.

    The American media are as liberal as the giant multi-billion-dollar trans-national conglomerates that own them.

  • Please Oh Please...

    ...Anyone but Giuliani or Hillary!!!

  • Clarification

    To clarify the anonymous statement. JC fukked up politically in the timing of the release of hostages since he did not get them released on his watch. He succeded in the fundamental goal of getting the hostages released. Also the Iranians obviously knew Ronnie was the next president and were looking for angles to manipulate him. Arms for hostages ring a bell?

    Rudy and Ronnie fukked up at being honest human beings for taking credit not deserved. I wonder how anonymous would feel if someone else took credit for his work.

    Rudy is the sterotype of the classless, groveling, say anything, do anything politician. The Gollum of our political landscape.

  • Giuliani - just another Macho Draft-Dodger

    In the Vietnam era we couldn't find Giuliani, Bush, Cheney,Rove, Limbaugh, O'Reilly, Kristol, Delay, Wolfowitz, Pearle, Lott, Romney, and Thompson. These Republicans are trash-talking cowards in suits.

    Forget about 'em.

  • Real men don't announce their divorce to the (second) wive over the TV

    Let's see. Jimmy Carter, faithful to his wife, served in the Navy.

    Simon Bar-Sinister, a.k.a. Rudy Guiliani: told his second wife he was divorcing her during a televised press conference. Avoided military service during Vietnam.

    A philiander and a chickehawk. Yep, Guiliani's a Republican all right!

  • Oh, come on

    Look tomorrow for a bunch of newspaper stories pointing out that Giuliani is misrepresenting history.

    Now THAT's the funniest line I've read all day.

  • Giuliani IS a macho fable

    Against grainy black-and-white images of the American hostages in Iran, he spins a macho fable.

    Giuliani IS a macho fable. All posturing, macho yap but no substance. Bill Maher- on his 'Real Time' last year, already showed at least three tapes-videos with Rudy cross-dressing at assorteed parties, events.

    All that any owuld-be dem candidate has to do to beat Rudy in a face-off is to get hold of those tapes and show the great "hero of 9-11' in drag, mincing around with his coquettish clique.

    That will be all she wrote, as they say.

  • what about naomi?

    Has the story that Reagan's people negotiated behind Carter's to keep the hostages in Iran until the election was over, been debunked? I thought there was direct evidence that that's exactly what happened.

    When will Rudy tell that story? It probably has more truth to it than the fairy tale he's spinning..

    And, by the way, I'll bet you anything if Rudy were confronted by someone with real balls, who could really rearrange that face of his, he'd fold up like wet newsprint. He's a total fake. How anyone can buy the crap he's selling is beyond me. But, then, a lot of people bought the crap Cheney and Bush were selling, so clearly I don't know shit.

  • Ronnie was so tough, he clandestinely gave 'em stinger missles and such, all the while Old Blue Eyes kept banging away on his old lady

    Jesus H. Criminy, can someone, ANYONE, please produce the obvious video retort to this pile of steaming crap?

    I'm low on cash at the moment, but a terrific free dinner at my place for whomever gets the obvious Iran-Contra play on this up on YouTube by this weekend. If you can't get to Madison, I'll ship something out to you.

  • Reagan

    is dead and more and more people see the evil he personifies with each passing day. This ploy may help Rudy with idiots over the age of 50, but that's not going to be enough idiots to put him over. He is done. Put a fork in him. Romney will be the nominee.

  • Rudy's Real Hero

    If Giuliani is going to portray himself as another real tough, real serious Rupukican. He should consider modeling himslef after Larry Craig rather than Ronald Regan. Giuliani and Craig have far more in common.

  • Your Rudy Iran article

    Sorry, but you've done it again: neutered a scandal that would end Rudy's career.

    EX:

    Rudy tough on Iran? The EXACT OPPOSITE is true: he's on record thousands of times supporting terrorists, dictators, and all enemies of America.

    EX: ASK rudy if he will invade Communist China to free Tibet. They even have WMDs and are kicking the USA's ass!

    EX: ASK Rudy if he will invade Saudi Arabia b/c they were in on 9/11 and are a monarchy that won't allow democracy.

    EX: ASK Rudy what he did to defy Reagan's support of Apartheid!

    EX:ASK Rudy what he did to stop Baby Doc Duvalier in Haiti as #3 in Reagan's Justice Dept. (He befriended the dictator.)

    YOU spun a story that could've proved Rudy is the enemy of America and democracy into a story about a guy fudging facts!

    Rudy and Kerik are sending over a gift basket right now!
