"America's Mayor", my ass!
Is it wrong that I feel like I am going enjoy his takedown?
Tony Brown, I am already enjoying it. Immensely. LH, Steve would be proud. Beautiful.
Now excuse me while I chortle and snicker....
The little prick was on "Charlie Rose" last night. I caught about a minute and a half(it was all I could stand). The discussion was about Iraq, and Rudy was desparately humping the O'Hanlon/Pollack NYT piece, smugly pontificating how these "liberal critics" of the war were seeing progress. I wanted to puke. Rose appeared to be in a quandry over whether to suck Rudy's dick or kiss his ass.
Fuck Rudy AND his little Yankees cap.
Selah.
Another couple of thoughts; she bears a spooky resemblance to Katherine Harris, doesn't she?
Can you imagine what will happen when Rudy runs true to form and replaces HER? Methinks what Bill_O paid will look like chump change, compared to what it will cost Rudy to keep this one quiet.
Of course, that assumes the horrifying prospect of Rudy actually being elected President. Not bloody likely.
Selah.
"He's spent his adult life in NY being a bastard royale. A prick's prick. Satan in a cheap-ass suit."
Fabulous!!!
"Rudy's big problem with the press is this: The "journalists" who lionized him so giddily after September 11th were NOT in large part the local press in NYC. It was the outsiders...the national reporters looking, aching for a "hero" to promote in the aftermath of the horrors of that day."
So true, and the interesting thing about this point is that Ghouliani's moment to shine only really came about due to the disgusting and contemptible cowardice of the so-called President and Vice-President. The only impressive thing about Bush and Cheney's conduct on that horrible day were the twin trails of urine they left behind them as they bolted for safety, screaming and shitting their pants (and no doubt shoving elderly women and small children out of their way) as they fled.
If Bush had actually been a man that day, the beltway whores wouldn't have needed Rudy at all. It seems to me they likely would have squelched any of his attempts at self-promotion; we all know their boy George doesn't like it when the competition makes him look bad.
America's Mayor, indeed. America's Awful, Rotten, Criminal Scumbag Mayor.
The fact is that, despite all the scum being unearthed about him (and it's all good and nasty) Giuliani is still on top of the polls for the GOP field. More of this needs to be spread around and outed into the MSM so that the rest of America can see just how disgusting Rudy is.
On a lighter note, I parked at the shops today and started laughing my ass off at the woman who was sporting a "Romney for President" bumper sticker. She looked at me wildly and quickly hustled off to parts unknown.
"He's spent his adult life in NY being a bastard royale. A prick's prick. Satan in a cheap-ass suit."
I'm still thinking he's going to have a Michael Richards moment on somebody asking too many unpleasant question any week now.

Well, that will teach me to be eating while I'm reading the comments here. I guffawed so hard I almost gagged on a chunk of the apple I was eating!
I must be tired...I saw the picture first and thought it was Michelle Malkin - then I read the context...
Metaphorically, I see that Ghouliani is going to have the press behave like the NYC cops and treat him like he's Abner Louima
"The fact is that, despite all the scum being unearthed about him (and it's all good and nasty) Giuliani is still on top of the polls for the GOP field."
Jane Hamsher wrote a piece a short while ago - I forget exactly when, but it was fairly recently - in which she figured that the Rethug lizardbrains would actually get off on Rudy's more brutish behavior, especially his treatment of his children & ex-wives. As Jane saw it, that was exactly the sort of schoolyard bully thuggery the GOP 25%-ers could appreciate and would thoroughly approve of. I rather thought she had a point.
"Well, that will teach me to be eating while I'm reading the comments here. I guffawed so hard I almost gagged on a chunk of the apple I was eating!"
Heh, heh.
Two things from the VF article that struck me: the staffers commenting that Rudy's women come and go, but they remain. Judi might be on the outs sooner than we know, or Rudy will get caught with his pants down sooner than we can hope.
The second comment was that Andrew had spoken up about his non-relationship with dad as a way of supporting his sister, Caroline, who's been silent on all of this. Well I doubt Donna will open her mouth, as she more than likely signed something forcing her to keep quiet. But Caroline didn't sign anything, and that would be a real blow. Ex-wife hates your guts? No problem. Daughter can't stand you? Not good.
Where does the GOP find these thugs and thuggettes, anyway?
I marvel at how long these lower-class slimeholes continue to hang on for political dear life.
Yeah, we had bush dumbstruck on a stool, then hidden in a bunnyhole. cheney plotting how to make it all bigger. rudy put his disaster center at the likeliest disaster, against advice, and when it fell down, he had nowhere to go. Nothing to do but walk around. bush made rudy look like something, when we needed something.
I've only read half of the Vanity Fair article, and I can already tell why Rudy and Judith hit it off so well: They're both classic narcissistic personalities!
Whenever I see a picture of Rudy, I think of this guy.

And when I see Ghouliani, I think of this guy.
Heh.
Can't do much about the 27% base who look at puppy- and arrestee- torturing as "toughness," but this is stuff that can move another few voters to get off their asses and register and then vote, or even do some poll-watching.
Never misunderestimate the power of revulsion.
By the way, great post, LM. That Vanity Fair piece wasn't so much a hatchet job as an exquisite vivisection just as painful and damaging to its subject as any Judi conducted while pimping surgical staples. Judy took Judi apart right down to the foundations, leaving only rubble in her wake. From blatant social climbing to dog torturing to narcissism to diva-like demands and overspending, all of Judi's tics were laid out in graphic detail. It was a thing of beauty, every word of which I savored even while imagining the rage of The Bride.
Best yet was the last bit about Rudy's ladies-in-waiting, the pretenders to Judi's tacky tiara. Seems there's a woman named Starr Shephard who apeears quite devoted to Rudy, much to Judi's chagrine. The Starr-fucker wannabe also appears semi-nude on her MySpace page (read the Wonkette piece to get the full flavor). Rudy's aides seem quite resigned to constant -- and possibly imminent -- turnover in their boss's bedroom. Judi isn't quite so sanguine, perhaps all too aware that her own career path can easily be emulated by other and younger women.
Karma is a bitch.
That Starr is something else. She's clearly trying too hard and it's still not working.
Fixed the Wonkette link
LM, Thank YOU...ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
The tiara. Priceless.
Judi reminds me of my sister in law --- she tries to attract and keep men by putting them on a pedestal and making herself submissive, and making them feel good in oh so many ways. In not so polite company there's a word to describe such a person. Except the men she tries to land/who are 'worth' landing eventually toss her b/c they get bored. Because frankly, a guy who is driven by bjs is a guy who could really care less about who is actually giving them vs. the frequency performed. On the other hand, at least Judi got a nursing degree.
actually that word is not an adjective so much as a noun. and it starts with a w.
oh one more thing. THE FUCKING TIARA. I can't stand the "princess" tiara. A post menopausal woman without royal lineage on her 3rd marriage should NOT wear a tiara OF ANY KIND. PERIOD. Ditto on the prom dress, OMG WTF was THAT about? I don't care if that dress was a sample size, I don't care if Judi is "sample size", that dress belonged on someone else just not someone of her age and life experience.

Xeno:
When I read about "Starr Shephard", her name kept reminding me of another low-rent chickie-for-hire who bedded a big-time politico;
Fanne Foxe , The Tidal Basin Bombshell of House Rep. Wilbur Mills fame.
Starr Shephard? Could the name be any more stripper-who-will-lead-to-your-fucking-downfall-
ish? Lord have mercy!
And then...something else occcurred to me. You see, dear Starr was apparently also at one time on the "U.S. world team of rhythmic twirling gymnastics".
Which freaked me out becauuse it instantly reminded me of the film "A Face In The Crowd", where Andy Griffiths' cornpone-assed "Lonesome Rhodes" character quickly ascends to media and potential political superstardom.
He uses, and then disposes of people instantly. As soon as they're of no use, or no longer pique his interest—pshow!—they were gone.
Especially the women.
The last woman he hooked up with, after throwing over the dedicated, doting Patricia Neal—would you care to guess what she was?
A little baton-twirlin' piece a' down-home honeycake as portrayed by the lovely young Lee Remick
It's almost too perfect! And if you've never seen "A Face In The Crowd", with a pre-Opie and Aunt Bee Andy Griffith playing a shockingly venal climber—punch it up in your Netflix Queue. It was scarily prescient, and still holds up today. The ending? Well, Loveandlight hits on it a few posts up—s'all a brudda can say!
I just have to type it again, 'cause it's so damned good...
Starr Shephard! Hot Damn!
But it just means that God,—or Karma, for my Atheist and Agnostic brothers and sisters out there
Um, so you're trying to be inclusive towards atheists by.....using a religious concept? WTF?
Y'know, Rudy has sown the seeds of his own destruction, because once the shit starts flying, he can't complain that the nasty politicians and press are being cruel to him.
If he can't face up to that, how can he be Mr 9/11 Kill The Terrorists?
I still think he gets the nom, because given the choice between a Mormon and a thrice-married quasi-fascist, the base of the base will go with the quasi-fascist. And the powder will stay dry until then.
Btw, you remain righteous, LM.
Wonderful writing LM, but the Republican candidate needs only one friend- the MSM. If he's got that, the rest don't mean shit.
I don't know if Rudi will get it, but if he does, he don't need nothin' else.
The Republican base doesn't give a damn about New York City reporters who felt the wrath of Rudy. Thye are going to nominate Rudy.
Giuliani is the only Republican who can win, because he will do well in the Northeast, Florida and Califronia, while holding the Red states.
It's a sad prospect and Hillary or Obama won't help. Only Gore can beat Rudy.
Brother in Arms: Oh Lord; I am blind as a bat and deaf as a lawyer but wil never forget "The Lord don't like Ugly! As a European of white skin only descent, no one on this Earth appreiates Afro-American Poetry like I do. This is togh love tuirned on its head, like what is the point of justice, anyway. So, as a white female in Suburbia, waht does the "The Lord don't like Ugly" mean? It means, what the fuck are you doing going against the ones who are on your side; further, don't go against the ones on your side. Yeah, and Jazz was created by Idiots (Al Franken).
God bless Afro-American intellectualism where everyone understands it but WILL NOT GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE. Yeah, let competition be God.
I am enjoying all of this way way way TOO MUCH.
Even Judi Nathan's interview in today's Times is giving me immense pleasure because it reminds everyone of how the both of these social climber weasels decided to have an affair while he was still married.

Yeah, this was a real hit piece on Rudy & Judi. Rudy's done. Stick a fork in him.
Rudy's new love interest is the one to influence America and also change his reputation with America. She bonds the family to him and therefore the father of a family becomes the Father of America under the STARR who is not a tennis player, yet true woman in his hands. She's Italian so figuring it out is a no brain job.
