I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
Iron fistula first!!!!
And if Rudy were part of the "culture of life where the strong protect the weak," he'd give it all back, right now.
Here's the speech: "9/11, terror, terror, 9/11, 9/11, terror. Thank you. Gotta run."
But ... he was such a hero! I mean, didn't he kill all those terrorists all by himself?
Scumbag...
The republicans are turning against him. Trying to cut off a presidential run before it starts, as he's a bit too friendly with teh gays. Good on them, in this case. The guy's an asshole.
Yeargh very piratish.
How many MSM magazine cover will feature the Pope in the next month?
Newsgeek and Time for sure.
I wonder what offbeat magz may use the pope (Easyriders)?
On another note if you need to feel slimy about humanity...
And to the two freaks who were looking for nude photos of Terri Schiavo: seek professional help immediately.

Scroll down a bit for the entry.
Rudy, Mayor of Wanker Central.
Frist,seoinnd, third, etc, does nor matter. Guilianai bites. Dead meat. PHHHHTTTTTHHTT.
Tacky SOB, isn't he?
$100,000? Wow. Around here, you can get a sack of shit for FREE! Go figure.
Maybe he wants to buy new toilet plungers for every precinct in N.Y.
What an asshole.
He gives twenty thousand, and keeps eighty. Probably had all expenses paid, too.
SCUMBAG!
But then, we knew that.
Nothing like profiting off the misfortune of others... Giuliani and Furious George have been doing it everyday since 9/11... to suggest that it should be otherwise is so pre-9/11.
/Nelson Muntz
I would like to point out it was a Repub that asked him to give it back. They're not ALL children of Satan.
Rudi and Judy just bought themselves a big spread in the Hamptons. It's not like he doesn't have a ton of dough already.
Hmmm...the posturing for the 2008 elections have begun. Just about on time, too.
Three more years of this to go.

Frist!!! in Sri Lanka... Frist!!! doing remote diagnoses in somebody else's specialty.

Not so sure about that, but will ponder the possibility.
Well, its been fun, moonbatties. But I'm gonna go take a walk around the lake on this lovely 70-something degree, sunny day.
Oh wait - that was the last thread. Sorry.
Too bad they're turning against him. I don't want him running for anything in NY. Though NY doesn't generally like losers, and if he comes back with that stink on him, he's through.
The man appeared in a dress on SNL (think of the children!) You know they're already wary of him in the South. And South Carolina does have a way of bringing the more fundyish Repub to the fore (like Chimpy), so I guess the real 2008 question is which Gawd-slurper is gonna prevail
well, it isn't like he "gave" them back $20K. He just didn't steal it from them.
Hmmm. Lemme check what my magic 8-ball has to say about this....
"All Signs Point To: WANKER"
Hey, everybody needs to wet their beaks.
The kicker in that cited article is that they only raised $60,000, of which $20,000 came from Hizzoner. This is an organization of HOSPITALS and all they could raise for disaster relief was $40,000?
And I'm not even suprised by that, which means even I'm getting cynical.
But on the West Wing, a pro-choice, pro-environment Republican will clean up the record deficits of the evil Democrats!
Rudi and Judy just bought themselves a big spread in the Hamptons. It's not like he doesn't have a ton of dough already.
Res,
As long as someone is wealthier than you, there can never be enough dough. And if you get to the top of the ladder, then it becomes incumbant to put distance between yerself and your nearest competitor.
Enough is never enough.
Thersites,
I had the pleasure of the company of yer better half for nearly three hours today. It was truly a pleasure and you are a lucky man.
9/11 has been very very good to rudy and judy.
and bernie, for that matter, despite that little bump.
Giuliani is a total fucking swine.
is rudy gonna blame the troops for this shit too?

We're talking 'bout South Carolina and raising money for brown non-Murkans.
Heck even Wolfowitz ensured that the folks fighting for more sovereignty against the most corrupt gov't in Asia (Indonesia) and the military with one of the worst human rights records couldn't get their freedom on the march.
First tenet of Bushevik "freedom" is are ya willin' and able to kiss Furious George's ass.
kent - so, with NYMary "Enough is never enough."?
When Carter goes to a Habitat for Humanity project and builds he pays his own expenses. Taxpayers pay for his secret service, but Carter pays his expenses. He never charges for his appearences for Charity events. No member of the Carter family ever has.
Neither does Bill Clinton.
Republicans are greedy beyond belief.
Tom,
I know, I know, but...
Los Angeles school kids, KIDS, raised a helluva lot more than that this past month.
Sheesh... we are living in very strange times.
Why so angry, GWPDA?
"Why so angry, GWPDA?"

OK, I'm just worried about your blood pressure. As if being a scholar wasn't hard enough!
North by Northwest commencing on TCM.
Nifty angled open creditude, nice touch Hitch.
Mija! It's my eponym - entirely uncreated and unsought. Perhaps a little irateableness, but not much. My blood pressure went to hell with my thyroid years ago anyway.
GWPDA,
That would be '59
"Dinner at 21, 7 'o clock"
"Think thin!"
Take this lady back where she belongs....
Goodnight sweetie - oh wait!
Great bar - Cary's really ownself's own apartment hotel, too!
Can't reach his mother - new apartments and no phone.
And then the bellboy with the message arrives....
Another Republican milking the system:
Far-right zealot Charles Johnson is making a very nice living from his hate-blog. And he has his 'lizards' doing all the dredging for him! They'd choke if they knew about the 'suitcase outside the door' money that hits his 'tip-jar' every month. Paid from anonymous accounts in DC, the money comes from the US Govt. by way of the PR firms they give $80 million/year to. Johnson, who nose is stuck reliably up the Chimps butt, is much admired by the Israel-First crowd for his relentless bashing of the Palestinians. Johnson provides other services to the far-right by his endless 'moonbat' bashing posts, he's the blogging equivelent of Rush Limbaugh, but without any talent other than cut'n'pasting.
That's why they call him the Ponytailed Asshole.
kent - so, with NYMary "Enough is never enough."?
Not really, It was such a pleasure to make her aquaintance in person, and when I first called her I heard an echo, she was probably only 20 feet away when she answered her phone.
Cary is gonna miss out on the theatre with mum, it would appear. (he has been spirited away by some shady character actors.
It's not who you think it is, coming to the door - no, no it's
It's Leonard, coming into the study -
Oh lordy, a croquet mallet,
Oh douple plus lordy, a scary James mason.
"Not what I expected, a little taller a little more polished than the others"
"What the devil is this about, why was I brought here."
Super spooky LandauBot enters the room.
Mistaken Identicles.
"I am not Kaplan"
Cary, just a nudge to a blind bat, they ain't buying it.
Hmmm...the posturing for the 2008 elections have begun. Just about on time, too.
Three more years of this to go.
Diane
Jeb goes to Thailand! Neil goes to Thailand! Family values on parade!
and Diane... LA is not South Carolina. And kids aren't hospital professionals hiring Giuliani to speak.
Oh... and when the chips were all counted Hong Kong still donated more per capita than any other place for tsunami relief. (and that doesn't count money from locals rebuilding their vacation homes in Phuket).
Scotch, rye, bourbon, vodka?
Bourbon? No, I've had enough stimulation for one day. And they WRESTLE Cary to the comfy chair and pour bourbon down his throat.....
Into the car, no! Yes, into the car, and the brake's off and there are curves, many, many curves.....
Wheel spiiiiinnnnnnnng on edge of cliff!
More spooky types enter the room.
"it will be easier to take this yourself, otherwise we will have to insist"
"cheers"
That Tears it Cary is not gonna make the theatre, as the thugs poor him into the car and set to trying to killify him .
It would appear that Cary learned his driving from the divine Grace, in "to catch a thief"
I hate to say it, but it really is a Class thing. Unfortunately, here in America, we're saddled with (by??) an Upper Class with no class at all.
Also too, paying anyone 100K for a speech is obscene, charity or not.
If it is not allready apparent, this thread has been hijacked by Hitchcock Blogging.
Urm Dont kit the bicycle, well if that is not the definition of stopping on a dime and returning a subtantial portion in change, then I am not sure what it is.
Sure lucky though to be in custody
"Assault and kidnapping, Assault with a gun, bourbon and a sportscar"
The cops pick him off - thank God, it's a nice place in Maryland and Cary can call his Mum.
Play nice with the copper! Hello, Mother? This is your son.
Oooooh, Glencove Police Station - Calling Jarod!
TCM in a couple weeks (4/16) is running a Jean Renoir tribute: Grand Illusion, The Land Is Mine, The Woman on the Beach, The River, and The Rules of the Game. Mark your calendars now!
Glen cove police station.
"No mother I have not been Drinking..These men poured an entire bottle of bourbon down me"
The Rules of the Game.
Oh lord, I cannot wait.
Cary, do not fall asleep on that table.
That TCM link again. Damn Haloscan.
We have arrived back at the place where he was held down - and Mother is there too!
Scotch, gin, vodka.... and none of it's there!
I never saw this woman before!
Who should I say is calling
County Detectives
Ohhh the county detectives.
Mom you are not helping at all.
Captain Junket eh.
"...forcibly intoxicated by some friends of your husband's"
United Nations? I demand proof.
Gardener by day, Murderous Thug by night .
Mommie dearest seems a little young for Cary
Cary,
hanging out in Kaplan's room might cause some problems, just saying.
I'm not nervous, I'll be late for the bridge club....
Look in the bathroom Cary - Kaplan has dandruff. The maid wants to know about the linens - and the maid is (1959) Irish!
How do you know I'm Mr. Kaplan? It's all beginning to make no sense at all - but look, here's the valet with his suit.
"maybe he has his suits mended by invisible weavers"
Mom certainly is a pistol.
Dont answer the phone.
Roger, will you be home for dinner?!
Thugs following taxi - scary music rises and we all go to the General Assembly....
"you answer his telephone, live in his hotel room, and still you are not Mr Kaplan."
"I think I'd like to meet these killers"
Cary, yer "mom" is a pistol, and the advice is good.
"you gentlemen aren't really try to kill my son, are you?"
With a mon like that who needs Killers.
Don't say Kaplan, Dammit Cary, you have to recognise when you are in quicksand, the sooner the better.
but then advice from 46 years into the future
"this isn't Mr Townshand"
What about Mrs Townshand.
And now the fingerprints. Cary, pssst, I think you are being played.
In trouble you are now.
Yes, the newspapers are misidentifying Cary - as always. Look! It's Leo G. Carroll playing Leo G. Carroll! And there's a woman at the spy table! My God we forgot that went on.
Oh we were so much cleverer then.
I hate to say it, but this is just as irritating as people talking in a theatre during a movie.
I've worked for NGOs (which shall remain nameless) and obviously a celeb spokesthing helps fundraising and promoting awareness. It's great when a public figure's involvement comes out of an authentic commitment to the particular cause. A lot of them go well above and beyond giving time, won't touch the coffers for expenses incurred even though the admin budgets will have that allocated, and donate money as well. (These are people you never hear about when Bush complains about Hollywood, and there are plenty of them.)
Even the celebs swapping fame for compassion cred have the sense not to abuse the NGO's expenses arrangement, if only to avoid publicity blowback. I've heard of a couple of idiots being so tone deaf they treat staff volunteers at an event like servants and make lavish demands on whim, and even one "charity shopper" who backed off because the the children's disfigurement would result in "gross" publicity photos. (!!!!!)
But even they're not as bad as Rudy. Making a cold profit from an emergency relief effort is really beyond the pale. He just got a fat security contract from the Republican Palace, too did he not?
What is the identity of this cabal, congragulating itself on it's good luck.
I hate to say it, but this is just as irritating as people talking in a theatre during a movie.
Sir, you do have a point.
The train, the train!
The meeting of the Saint Marie.
Ooh she is good.
He enjoys the cut of her Jib.
/can't help self
Speaking of Sainthood, now she's abig girl, and in all the right places!
Kent
regarding the actress playing Cary's mom--I seem to recall reading that she was actually younger than Mr. Grant when the filmed (and, in fact, at all times!). Weird suspension of disbelief regarding our leading men.
Rudy was just being a good Republican, after all.
Lord I miss dining cars....
26 & unmarried she says.
Damn, sister, I like the cut of yer Jib.
I don't like the book I've started....
And I miss smoking too.
Cary it would seem that you found yourself an Adventure Kitty.
Drawing Room E, Car 3901. See?
No luggage - you wouldn't happen to have an extra pair of pyjamas, would you?
Merle,
that would suprise me not in the least, thanks for the tidbit.
Well, jeez, what do you expect from a guy who was porking his mistress in one wing of Gracie Mansion while his wife and kids were in the other!? Oh, I forgot, IOKIYAR. Sorry.
She is coool, very cool.
Jessie Royce Landis, b 1904, Cary Grant, b. 1904....
How do I know you arent a murderer?
"Beats Flying doesn't it?"
It could depend actually, but there is a certain flavor
is that a doorbell?
of course.
The porter again - with a message to Martin Landau!
"Bowling balls Naturally."
Big face, small razor!
Well we're here in the great wild west and setting up for
THE PLANE, THE PLANE!
LandauBot 2000 exits with the "Saint".
"Big Face small razor"
What, Indianapolis at 2:00, cool.
Nothing but sky in every direction, a vast nothing, nothingness. A road. Cary by the side, in the distance, a car shoots by, nothing. Nothing. Brown. Nothing. Sky.....
Another motor, soon, coming - nah, not that one either.
...
...
...
Another engine, soon, soon, a truck, dusty, windy....
$100K ? What's the big deal? Chump change. I mean really, who cares? Why I bet poor Rudy's net worth is still less than 10 figures. He needs every penny so he can hold his head high. Forget tsunami relief, just send your money to Rudy.
Hmm visibility for miles, flat ground, open country, what's next, speeding car, nother speeding car, Large Truck, car from behind the cornpone bush.
Lots of curous gazing in one's direction.
Something is about to happen.
"Hot Day"
"Seen worse?"
Get on the Bus Cary!!!!!
That cropduster is dusting crops where there ain't no crops!
And it's got him in its sights, flat, down! Down!
Look there's a cornfield, gogogogogogog!
Que viva huelga!
The duster dusts!
The midwest seems awefully unkind to strangers.
Thats it cary, just stay in the cornpone bush, OK the dioxin based pesticides could be a problem
Get out, the tanker's gonna blow! Bam!
Thank God, we're in Minneapolis now. Safe.
You took the wron car....Cary, the Sedan, not the truck.
Ahhh a sighting of the "Saint" in the lobby.
Industrial designing business? A girl like you should be enjoying yourself this evening....
That's it have a nice pesticide cheek.
Uh oh Big big favor.
Oh now they're talking about sponging and pressing.
The old Valet service trick.
Hell, we talk about a service economy -now-....
Creepy James Mason - the whole gang arrives together to distress the auctioneer. We must go backwards!
Heart is breaking.....Now.
Thug in the way, make that thugs.
High finance in the midwest - the auction dissolves into argument.
Quick, the cops! Safety for Cary?
And here's Leo G. Carroll again, explaining everything.
What's James Mason up to then?
I am an advertising man not a red herring.
Jeeze, this is like looking at my childhood....
Wait - it -is- like looking at my childhood.
Mama! Get me something at the snackbar, will you?
Hah- be sure to watch for the kid in the background covering his ears *before* she shoots! Must be psychic!
Oh, you little fool!
Shot him, she shot him dead! Run away, run away!
And, Leo G. Carroll steps into the scene again, taking Cary away from his now known, own true love.
We'll have to get tog ether and do a lot of apologising to each other....
And it's Clete Roberts talking on the radio - Cary in a towel, waiting for clothes. Leo G. Carroll enters, stage left...
Best house ever.
Wasn't he the guitarist for U2?
Cantilevered.... Overhearing the plotting - will they take her with them or not?
Grab her attention! Look! Cary's down below, and Martin Landau's looking...
" yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look......"
"...such men are dangerous"
This matter's best disposed of from a great height .... over water....
Ooooooooooh!
A Freakin TreeHouse on promentory lane I tells ya.
Lord, what beautiful wood floors.
Nothing good is coming of this - they're giving her a drink and Cary's watching from INSIDE the house - get her attention, quick! A coin at her back, does she see?
Cary seems to have handled the spybot learning curve somewhat quickly.
Busted!
Scary housekeepers - with guns!
They're up Teddy's Nose now - no way out but climb, climb, climb....
Avdertising genius, Face Climbing Fool.
Now we are at lookout point.
ouch
No shoes! Keep climbing, no slipping, not even in stocking feet - but wait, she still has one glove.
Jeeze here comes James Mason!
Quick, to Lincolns jowls, or Jeffersons nostril. Or better yet, Bedlam.
Help me! Help me!
Not so helping.
All well, safe and sound.
Toot! Toot!
the end
Daddy why is that long train going into that dark tunnel?
Tiresome, perhaps, but what is done is what must needs be done, and done well.
Nighty-night.
Nighty-night.
That was fun.
"The benefit raised $60,000, including the $20,000 donation from Giuliani, Kirby said."
So the tsunami victims get $60,000 and Rudy nets $80,000? No wonder Edge is a little, well, edgy.
"COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) _ A South Carolina lawmaker has asked Rudy Giuliani to pay back all of a $100,000 fee he was given by a hospital group for a speech at a tsunami relief fund-raiser two months ago."
Oh, it was a fund raiser all right. He was raising funds for himself.
Scumbag!
"I would like to point out it was a Repub that asked him to give it back. They're not ALL children of Satan.
flory"
1 of 100?
(Swearingen) Cocksucker!
(Swearingen) Cocksucker! -Terry C
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
I guess Rudy hopes we don't remember stuff like this in 2008, right?
Apparently this charity event was for the benefit of the Giuliani 2008 Presidential campaign fund.
So Rudy gets $100,000, kicks back $20,000 (takes a tax deduction?) and after THAT, the charity makes only $60,000???????
What kind of charity event was this?
And why was Giuliani allegedly worth $100,000 to appear?
I think some enterprising reporter could find even more interesting relationships here between the people organizing the 'charity' and the Giuliani camp.
I lived for 8 years under this closet-queen serial killer's rule in NYC ("America's Phoney Adulterous Mayor" and "Phoney 911 Hero Whore of the Year!" I deserve a medal of honor. Rudy deserves a bullet in the head and let his beard, Judy Nathan, pay for the bullet. Or Kerick. Or Harding...ad nauseum.
O, I forgot:
RUDY IS LITERALLY AND FIGURATIVELY A
"COCKSUCKA!"
and 9 out of 10 innocent blown-away-by the rudy-gestapo agree...too bad they ain't around no more to watch DEADWOOD...they're dead for being black.
