How far has Rudy Giuliani’s slipped? Put it this way: the former mayor has, all of a sudden, discovered religion.
Rudy Giuliani began his Sunday in an unusual place for him - at church - and with an unusual fellow congregant, the controversial former Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris.
The former mayor, whose second divorce has left him on the outs with his own Catholic Church, started a three-day bus tour through Florida Sunday with a visit to the bilingual El Rey Jesus, a Hispanic evangelical Christian church here. […]
“This is a beautiful church, and I can feel the spirit of God in this room,” Giuliani told the 7,000 or so worshipers.
Is anyone really gullible enough to believe such shameless pandering?
Also note that Giuliani has a standard stump speech he uses every day on the campaign trail. It includes a firm position against illegal immigration, and includes Giuliani’s unwavering belief that those who want to become U.S. citizens must learn “to speak, read and write English.”
Oddly enough, while speaking at this Miami church, Giuliani omitted all of this from his remarks. I’m sure it was just an oversight — and had nothing to do with the large Latino population in South Florida, most of which votes Republican.
No Trackbacks To “The last refuge of a scoundrel“
He’s a scoundrel????
Duh.
Besides…I think it was his very first refuge.
So he’s got that going for him…Which is nice.
9ui11ani is a real bottom feeder. He will suck up to anyone, anytime, any place. A true repug pig. (they need to change their mascot from elephant to pig)
This one is weak. Let the guy go to church already….who gives a s&*t.
OT - BREAKING NEWS!!
DENNIS KUCINICH MAY BE ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE NBC NEVADA DEBATE!!!
A judge sided today with Democratic presidential hopeful Dennis Kucinich and said he will allow him to take part in Tuesday’s Democratic presidential debate in Las Vegas.
Alternate District Judge J. Charles Thompson said he will grant a preliminary injunction allowing Kucinich to take part in the debate and will sign the order around 4 p.m.
Attorney Don Campbell, who is representing NBC Universal Inc., which is hosting the debate, said after the hearing that it was too early to say what NBC will do if the order is issued.
Kucinich’s attorney, William McGaha, said he was pleased with the upcoming ruling. “It’s in everybody’s interest to have the debate and with as many different political viewpoints,” he said.
“…and had nothing to do with the large Latino population in South Florida, most of which votes Republican.”
CORRECTION: Mostly older CUBANS vote Republican because they have a vendetta against Democrats because of the Bay of Pigs incidents (JFK was president at the time). Younger Cubans are trending more Democrat each election.
Miami Latinos from other nationalites (PuertoRican, Dominican, Mexican Venezuelan, etc.) vote mostly Democrat across the board.
Katherine Harris?!?
Okay, now I really have to locate that Pepto Bismal.
OMG! I was wondering what happened to Katherine Harris after her failed bid. Do you remember her interview with Sean Hannity where she posed at three-quarter view? And jumped up and down to feature her ‘agenda?’ Lol. Watch out Rudy, you’ll get an eye poked out!
HAAAEEEEHHHH-LURRRRR-LOOYAH!
Cute photo… Maybe he’s being called ‘home’…. ala Pat Robertson… If true…. Hallelujah!!!! Cept, I think the ‘home’ he’s headed to in the end is mite warmer than he may expect… I guess he didn’t get the meme that those pearly gates won’t open up for a serial lying, adultering, jingoistic pandering S.O.B. who uses a national tragedy as his opening tag line…..Who knew! Yea, tuff break Mr. Noun, verb, 9/11… I’ll be interested in seeing just how many latino votes out of Florida you manage to crib with this latest bullshit… JD
SM @ 6:
Seriously? Debate all the ins and outs of all that, coming down on whatever side you like and it’s still just plain fascinating.
HE won’t quit the race until he’s found a new mistress, he’s a nationwide search.
Johnny2Bad @ 2:
Ooo, ooo!….you are doing a movie reference, right? Man, it’s on the tip of my tongue…

Gunga-Galunga.
kate @ 12:
At least he’s consistent!
methinks it wasn’t the spirit of God he was feeling.
they just refinished the pews a day before and things had not quite dried out as planned.
“¡esto es más pegajoso que el camisón de una puta!”, shouted Jaime Gonzales as he stood up in the middle of G-911’s speech.
kate @ 12:
I work with this woman named Nynee Levenn. He’ll just love her! He’ll get the warm fuzzies every time he says her name.
Gimme his number…I have to hook them up, pronto. A love like this just CANNOT be denied.

Talk about a scoundrel…take a look at this:

Please keep in mind here, unless I’m mistaken, McCain is only 11 years older than Flip-Flop Romney–and whther you care for him or not, you can’t take away from the guy that he was in a POW camp during Vietnam while Romney was chasing around people in Paris with the Book of Mormon!
Stop by this tools vid and give him some ‘karma!’ Thanks…
Hmmm…Rudy at church with someone who helped steal an election in 2000, very suspicious, too bad it won’t matter. Everyone on the left thinks Rudy is a fraud, and everyone on the right thinks he is too liberal. Give it up Rudy. You should have stuck to being “America’s Mayor,” and kept raking in money giving speeches about how great you were after September 11th. Now that everyone has rejected you, and seen you for what you really are, that money won’t be coming at you when you are forced out of the election.

Beautiful.

cygnusx1isahole @ 5:
cool…I like Dennis! I’m sure they will only ask him 1or2 questions… they wont let dennis speak truth to power. I hope dennis uses this opportunity to spice up the debate! I wanna see him stir things up a bit…!!!
milquetoast @ 21:
+1!
10 to 1 they did the nasty. If you’re the mistress, and he leaves his wife for you, and you become the wife… what do you think will happen next!? Women and men think sooo differently. Women expect a relationship after sex, I expect breakfast. I make no excuses for this line of thinking, I just realize what I am. Oops, was this the Huckabee abortion thread?
If you say 9/11 into a mirror three times, Rudy Giuliani appears!
Rudy Giuliani began his Sunday in an unusual place for him - at church - and with an unusual fellow congregant, the controversial former Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris.
Ya mean Katie “Check out these bazookas” Harris?
I wonder if Rudy’s BFF Sean Hannity set these two up?
Quick, someone call Judith! (just don’t call her Judy.)
With Rudy’s roving eye, she better keep him on a short leash!
Alright! Katherine Harris!!
Mmmmmm…. Evil fake boobs.
Bonkers @ 20:
Dan-nay…
“Is anyone really gullible enough to believe such shameless pandering?”
Hell, yes. George Bush got elected president, not once but twice.
LOL! Rudy is getting more pathetic everyday. He tried the 9/11 sales pitch and now he is on to the religious sales pitch. So, desperate for a Florida vote.
HE’s Been Saved!!!!………………………uh…yeah…uhuh sure..
Johnny2Bad @ 27:
I bet you get free bowl of soup with that Hat?
“Oddly enough, while speaking at this Miami church, Giuliani omitted all of this from his remarks. I’m sure it was just an oversight — and had nothing to do with the large Latino population in South Florida, most of which votes Republican.”
WWHHYY do they vote Republican?
milquetoast @ 21:
That is the one problem with the court order. NBC will let him be there on stage, but that doesn’t guarantee he will be part of the debate. He has been marginalized at every debate, standing silently off to the side while the moderator pretends he isn’t there.
TimmyD11,they are either as delusional as Rudy, or just plain stupid!
Timmy_D11 @ 32:
I have know idea why.
I ask myself the same question.
My dream?
That Rudy Giuliani and Katherine Harris get married and have kids. Lots of fugly little kids.
Actually, the crowd was estimated at ABOUT 7,000, give or take 911.
Timmy_D11 @ 32:
Because “they” don’t like to question aurthority.
what’s next? a cowboy hat, cowboy boots, a scottish terrier and a bag of pretzels ??
…..no…..but this is.
Holy shit, Giuliani and Katherine Harris in a church. Surprised the place wasn’t struck by fucking lightning.
I KNEW he would hook up with Katherine. I hope he brought a tiara for her, too.
Marcus Aurelius @ 36:
Wouldn’t that qualify more as a nightmare?
secular New England, New York and New Jersey will stick it to Giuliani for this stunt.
Kay @ 33:
With only three other people it’ll be harder to make him invisible. I hope Dennis rips into Hillary, Barack and John something good. Don’t hold ANYTHING back, Dennis! Go for the jugular!
Lollimom, that’s classic! Watching Rudy, I’m suprised he didn’t burst into flames! Isn’t he a heretic or something? What a joke!
mudshark @ 35:
I answered this question earlier up in the thread:

Krazy Kitty Harris is back! I was wondering when she would make her appearance. This definitely makes things more interesting. $10,000,000
Is anyone really gullible enough to believe such shameless pandering?
Haha– you’re kidding, right? If the last seven years have taught me anything, it’s that you simply cannot underestimate the intelligence of a crowd. Especially a religious crowd.
It’s been a hard road from idealistic humanist to realist, I’ll tell ya.
What’s a good Catholic Boy like Rudy doing in an Evangelical Church
anyway?
Three Our Fathers, and Three Hail Mary’s Rudy, and twice around the stations of the cross, Rudy…
Start praying!
Florida is rigged , this is the 3rd time I repeat this. Giuliani is taking FLorida.
