"Now that he's popped up again as Rudy's front man..."

But this is hilarious. Rudy is such a fucking disgrace.

What is the McCain camp thinking? "Let's take a man who has become a fucking punch line in this country and prop him up on the very topic for which he became a punch line." Can they find no one with even the slightest bit of foreign policy legitimacy?

This can only backfire on them.

Rudy should really find some other issue if he wants to have any effect, this crying wolf thing just doesn't have any legs with him any more . . .

It's really odd how they're pulling the 9/11 card so early. Is it all they can really talk about? Iraq? Playing the drums of fear?

Shouldn't this wait until the late summer period to define Obama on this?

The more they play this up, the less impact it's going to have on voters, I think.

It rises again to feed on the blood of the living ...

These republicans are so 2004 . . .

Greg and Eric, I've criticized you occasionally and supported you occasionally. This, however, is one of the most insightful things you've ever written:

When Rudy ran for president it took the press corps many months to realize that Rudy has absolutely no authority to speak on this topic. Now that he's popped up again as McCain's front man it may take the press many more months to awaken to this reality again -- unless perhaps Team Obama makes sure to stress this obvious point as often as possible.

By the way, simple question next time he raises the issue of Osama bin Laden would be given rights: How can he be given rights when the McCain-Bush team hasn't found him?

THIS IS GREAT NEWS!!!!! FOR THE TERRORISTS!!!!

Desparate.

Well Osama has the right to " Life Liberty and the pursuit of Additional Attacks" because the likes of Rudy failed to take them away. Where does this guy get the stones to offer this and how can he possibly get away with it?

Dear American Voters, reporters and political professionals, and let us believe in Family, Friends, Fellows, Faith. Funds, Foundation, Fun, with Fairness & Freedom and without Fear, Favor, and Failure. This is for Mr. Jiulani.

Hon. Senator McCain and Obama, besides each having many attributes and characteristics. The critical differences between the two of these presidential presumptive nominees are as under:

1. Presidential "Temperament and Composer".
2. Little Washington "insider Versus outsider" experience.
3. "Vision and mission" for our nation future rather than past.
4. American policies, " first U.S.A Centric" than any other country [ ies ] centric.

In my professional opinion Senator Obama leads in all above qualities.

The need of our next movement and generation is a change. The Change in " past Washington and its Leadership". A change we can believe in and not the seductive, deceptive, and confusing slogan of "leader we can believe in" [? Effexor ?".

Our Greatgrand Nation has to address many present and future challenges and start with new clean "Slate and Senator".

God Bless America. its diverse people, and our Greatgrand Nation.

Our Greatgrand Nation is needs the CHANGE at every level and for long time.

I am sure Senator Obama with the help of Senator Clinton and her supporters, can deliver that CHANGE.

Please stay involved, stay engaged, and stay informed. Please do not allow any seduction, deception, and or confusion by some partisan media and leaders effect your vote [ Psychological Terrorism ]..

Yours truly,

PS: Please talk about the " Presidential Temperament And Caliber " of our presumptive presidential Nominees. Thanks.

He hates our freedom.
If this doesn't constitute a third Bush term, what does?
I like the line "…or alleged terrorists". That implies that the mere accusation of being a terrorist means the suspect forfeits all legal rights forever. What a sweet deal for the executive. Accuse your opponents of terrorism and lock them up indefinitely without due process. Just like "the enemy" does.
Habeas Corpus and the Magna Carta is SO 13th Century.

Rudy's a man in search of a balcony.

THIS IS GREAT NEWS!!! FOR MCCAIN!!!

The quality of surrogates between these two campaigns is staggering.
Yesterday I was listening to Richard Clark defend Barack Obamas views on how to treat terrorism and how the republicans have completely mismanaged this effort and made ourselves less safe.His arguments were factual, lucid,and based upon years of professinal service.
On the other hand we have Rudy Guilianis one man band of 9-11,9-11,9-11!!! The whole time ignoring the facts that he moved the terrorism command center to the World Trade Center.He spent one hundred and twenty million,banging this one drum, and netting something like twelve republican delegates.
These people are completely incompetent.
Anyone notice what's happening in Afghanistan lately?

On 9/11, in America's darkest hour, Rudy performed like a hero, on 9/11, which happened on 9/11, in case you were wondering. And you know, 9/11 is an important date in our history. 9/11 will not be forgotten. Count on Rudy to bring that spirit of 9/11 to McCain, who is already fighting to finish what Bin Laden started on 9/11.

Thank you. 9/11.

9/11.

I wonder how much he charged to participate in the conference call.

His aura of national security experience comes solely from having been photographed walking through the smoke and dust on 9/11.

Yes, and the only reason he was walking through the smoke and dust is that his bunker was unusable (and later that day destroyed) because Rudy insisted on locating it next to the #1 terrorist target in the United States. Instead of managing the crisis, Rudy left New York's emergency response chaotic and leaderless as he wandered the streets looking for a make-shift command center.

It's worth reminding people of this: http://rudy-urbanlegend.com/

Rudy! The gift that keeps on giving.

The guy who thinks people think he's a hero, but people really think he's a jerk, jerking off on 9/11- reporting from New York.

Maybe I'm being nitpicky, but Rudy is seemingly coming out against establishing any kind of rights for accused terrorists, while simultaneously conceding that they are only "alleged" terrorists.

Why doesn't Rudy actually try and give us a figure to how many terrorists they have actually prosecuted and convicted through their ways of Gitmo and torture? If any at all. And Rudy brings up a good GOP point,...it's much better to torture people who may not be the enemy rather than actually go after Osama Bin Laden. Talk about being weak on terror,...who dropped the ball on Bin laden and went after Saddam instead? Go Rudy, he's sinking faster than his campaign for the presidency. Time to capitalize on foolish statements like this.

I heard that Rudy Giuliani was a Hero of 9/11. I heard that he exhibited real leadership that day.

Now, where did I hear that? Hmmm. Oh yeah, he told me.

"I heard that Rudy Giuliani was a Hero of 9/11.

He probably charged you for that gem of information too.

Rudy demanded money to make ads for repubs and he's probably getting paid for this attack. We'll see if they think he's earning his keep.
