Okay, he's not only a bully like Bush, as many New Yorkers know from his pre-9/11 sainthood, now it's clear that he's also as incoherent and stumbling as Bush. Oh the humanity!

I, too, might sound like a blithering idiot if suddenly dropped in front of a large crowd without a script.

But then again, I'm not running for president. Even he doesn't agree with all his "comittments"? Jeez.

And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it." Amen.

"The first commitment that I make is I will keep America on offense against terrorism. And now, if I may, let me tell you what that means, because that's a statement, it's a sentence, it's a very complex idea."

It's a floor wax and a dessert topping!

I guess the pot smoked by all the Republican kids in the 1960s really did fry their brains because this generation of Republicans seems incapable of uttering a coherent sentence. I guess it's not just W's imbecility.

Of course Rudy doesn't remember the Nazis attacking us, he was less than a year old when the war against Germany ended.

By the way Rudy, the Nazis did come here and kill us. They sank ships right off the coast of the city you used to run, New York, and New Jersey and Miami. Our freighters were easy targets silhouetted against the city lights before blackout restrictions were imposed.

The Communists killed us in Korea, Vietnam, etc. Joe Stalin had some of our OSS agents assassinated, too.

Rudy outlined the real Bush Doctrine. A nation with nuclear weapons and missiles is not considered as dangerous as guys making bombs in their basements.

Rudy, I would assign one of your staff members to always have the script with him.

The first commitment that I make is I will keep America on offense against terrorism.

Considering that our current "offense" against terrorism focuses on quagmire-tastic engagements in foreign lands at debilitating costs both human and financial, this does not please me.

Notice he did not say "put America on offense" or "Find away to protect America". He said keep America on offense. He has openly declared his plan to keep on keeping on in the great Bush/Cheney tradition.

That being said, shouldn't he have spent a moment in his talking about oh so important ideas to discuss the form that his offense would take? The speech that we see here would be fine if his commitment was "To identify terrorist threats" but it was not the identification he was talking about.

We still have nazis over here killing people. Who does he think a lot of those skin heads are? Aryan Nation anyone? I'm sure their reputation is undeserved.

Furthermore, back in the day lots of nazi/communist individuals came over and kill folks. We had nazi/communist spys doing their spy thing. We had communists doing all sorts of stuff. In the early 1900s we had a fairly active communist party that was rather forcibly stifled by the feds and police.

Symbionese liberation army were radical leftists, were they considered communist? How about the Weathermen?

Regardless, calling islamic terrorists "enemies of america" is stupid. They are a pack of criminals. Odd that police techniques catch them while war breeds more.

DAyum. I hope he doesn't talk like that at those $100,000-a-pop motivational talks he gives -- the ones that made him so scarce they booted him off the Iraq Study Group.

" . . . during the Democratic debate, I couldn't find one of them that ever mentioned the words 'Islamic terrorist.'

Good! Right now I am more worried about the Christian Terrorists. Not only do they kill doctors, but they are actively seeking to destroy our constitution and ruin our country. I think they are the number 1 issue facing America right now!

Since your grasp of history obviously contains certain gaps, might I suggest that you read up on the Battle of the Atlantic? Nazis did come here and kill Americans.

that speech? heard it.

Well, well, so Nosferatu Giuliani is as eloquent and articulate as he is good looking, a regular silver-tongued son-of-a-bitch. Of course, maybe the sideshow freak was stuck on a flight from Europe after an extended money-grubbing trip, and hadn't had an opportunity to drink any human blood in the preceding 12 hours.

In any case, it's clear that not only is Giulini the most grotesquely ugly human being ever to run for president in U.S. history, but a worthy successor to the avatar of modern conservatism, George W. Bush. No wonder his own kids hate his fucking guts.

Now, that's either a goose walking across my grave, or a reaction to all my Democrat friends who say, and I quote:

"You know, if we HAD to have a Republican, Giuliani would be ok..."

*shudder*

It just happened again! I'm thinking it's not the goose...

can you spell M-O-R-O-N????

Thought not.

Compare, I beg you, the incoherent, inarticulate ramblings of this man who might one day (God forbid) be America's new benevolent dictator, against the grace and ease at which Bill Clinton could step before a microphone any time and speak extemporaneously about any subject with the confidence of someone who has studied and pondered the issues America faces.

I don't know how I could bear another four to eight years of an inarticulate, stumbling boob in the White House, who has to reach for a piece of paper in his pocket with 12 things written on it to remind him of whatever the hell it is that he believes in.

George W. Bush was "committed" to restoring honor and integrity to the White House and look how that turned out.
