9iu11ani back on the 100K speaker circuit
By John Amato Tuesday Feb 12, 2008 4:16pm
Rudy is back looking to cash in big time for his stunning defeat in the Republican primary by asking for a cool 100K in speaking fees and Mary K. Ham of Townhall makes like a Stepford Republican and follows Limbaugh's lead by voting for Hillary.

Only in GOP politics can a man run the worst campaign in the history of the US and count on republicans to shell out the big bucks to hear him utter one phrase over and over again.
UPDATE: I guess Rudy needs the money.
“We are deeper in the hole than I thought we would be,” wrote John Gross, the campaign’s treasurer, in an e-mail message to several senior campaign aides obtained by the Times.

You make em stupid . . . we make em Republican stupid.
Hey, ease off on Rudy.
He's got to dump Judith for a new and improved (younger) model
and that's going to be damn expensive!
Well, if there is one thing that 9/11 taught me, it's that Rudy is a crossdressing sack of monkey excrement.
Ha ha! When Rudy was campaigning down here in Florida you could hear him speak for free and not many Floridians cared to listen. He didn't get masses of people when he did his public campaign speeches.
Does he prefer the chiffon number for speeches, or the taffeta?
Decisions, decisions.
The reason they'll pay is because they were born with poo where their theoretical souls would theoretically be is something like that existed.
From Wexler:
Dear Eric,
Today, in hearings on Capitol Hill, I confronted Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on her role in the lies, exaggerations, and misdirection that led us into the Iraq war.
During my questioning, Secretary Rice falsely stated that she never saw intelligence casting doubt on the Bush Administration claims that Saddam possessed weapons of mass destruction. This unbelievable statement is flatly contradicted by numerous government reports and CIA testimonials. (To watch the video of my exchange with Secretary Rice, click here.)
Secretary Rice's responses demonstrate once and for all that we need aggressive oversight over this out of control Administration. Unfortunately, the Bush Administration has ignored the constitutional right of Congress to provide such oversight.
It is time Congress took aggressive action to assert our rights on behalf of the American people.
The House of Representatives must immediately hold former White House Counsel Harriet Miers and White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten in contempt of Congress for their failure to respond to congressional subpoenas.
I have been aggressively lobbying Members of Congress to support a vote on contempt, and I am thrilled to report that Speaker Pelosi told me directly that she agrees it is well past time to vote on contempt. I am anticipating that the House will shortly vote on resolutions of both civil and criminal contempt for both Miers and Bolten.
No one should be immune from accountability and the rule of law.
Not Harriet Miers or Josh Bolten.
And especially not Condoleezza Rice, George W. Bush or Dick Cheney.
It is time to defend the Constitution and our rights as a co-equal branch of government.
I will continue to take on the Bush Administration for their outrageous abuses just as I confronted Condoleezza Rice today and Attorney General Mukasey last week. (Click here to see my questioning of Mukasey.)
With your help we will hold these top Bush officials in contempt and continue our efforts to hold impeachment hearings for Vice President Dick Cheney.
Thank you, as always, for your great support.
Yours truly,
Congressman Robert Wexler
Well, we knew he would climb out of the sewer sooner or later. Now he's back making gazillions on the worst attack in American history. I wonder if he is still surrounding himself with the same neo-con assholes he picked up during his dubious campaign. Bye, Bye Rudy, I hope never to see you again!
And with a speech impediment that makes him sound like a 3rd grader.
Looks like Rudy needs to do about 500 of those speeches to pay back the $50 mil. he blew on his campaign.
Get busy Rudy!
You would have to pay me 100k just to sit through one of his fairytails!
What I like about Rudy is how his face crumbles into his strange mean-spirited whiskey grimace now that he can't pull off pretending to smile his good-guy smile long enough for the cameras to change focus.
Hey Rudy, just remember to wipe yr arse!
lafin gas @ 10:
I'd do it for half of that. And supply my own rotten tomatoes to boot.
Let's follow this and keep track of the organizations that invite Rudy to speak at that price.
absolute proof that Reslug. sheep are just plain stupid, morons.
911911911911911911911911911!!!!!!!!!!
Now pay me my damn $100k!
He has a one-note routine that he can make comfortable living from the rest of his life.
Rudy Giuliani: the Yakov Smirnoff of politics.
I guess you can take the vulture out of the presidential race, but you can't stop the vulture from being a vulture.
Who has made more money from 9-11 than he has? Okay maybe Halliburton has.
Maybe we should be happy he is exploiting the idiots who pay to see him speak. If the neo-cons had their way he would have been president. Shudder at the thought!
Rudy: perhaps the only man that prays for another 9-11 more than Osama himself.
Republicans love a crook!

Rudy, Rudy. Does he come on before or after the piano-playing chicken?
lafin gas @ 10:
I would do it for less, just as long as I didn't have to actually look at his face when he speaks. That's the reason he can't get a message out, he makes all those weird faces and people are looking at him and forget to hear what he says.
pissed off patricia @ 22:
And even if they paid me, I couldn't promise not to take a nap for most of it!
Mary Katharine Ham : "[Obama] the most inspiring senator in American history of no particular accomplishments."
Do these idiots completely forget W's prior qualifications whenever they spout this crap??
He may be on the 100K circuit, but he's going to be the Audio/Video
geek running the over-head and the wireless mike.
After running probably the WORST campaign in the last 50 years, going
from "inevitable nominee" to "Ron Paul kicked my Ass" while spending
100 Million, I think the going rate for listening to Rudy's advice is
about a $1.85.
Cons keep the money flowing in their circle. They have it down to an art form.

Rudy Giuliani
Hey Look... There is still a operational website
http://www.joinrudy2008.com
He still has VIDEO: Election Day Highlights
Has any multi-national corporation hired this guy yet?
It will tell us more about the criminal political network connections.
and Just because he is not running any longer or OUT of office...
just like Bush... doesnt mean he will escape Justice.
humorous category...
Today, Santorum was pleading on FAUX news
to unite their party and conservatives.
Too late. Many have left the Republican party.
Bush and Cheney single handedly destroyed the RNC.
The Smiths - Expose the Crooks @ 30:
They took over the RNC. They are still in business with McCain.
"most inspiring candidate of no political accomplishments (reference to obama)" What the fuck has John Mccain accomplished except being tortured? You could argue Mccain-Fiengold but a) that isnt considered an accomplishment to his party and b) it only went so far in cleaning up financing.
no surprise st. rudy of 9.11 cashing in on his own failures. If only I could make 100,000 for a speech on why I failed one midterm in college...

Whoever the morons are that are paying for Skeletor's tripe more power to them. They can spend it all.
Any organization willing to pony up 100 grand to bask in the presence of that putz deserves to lose the money.
Limbaugh, the Hamster, Coulter, these people can say they voted for whomever they want. I could tell you I wrote in Mickey Mouse. I can't prove it, but I can say it. I don't believe any of these people went in there and actually voted for someone they don't like. If they did, well, they are just.....pathetic.
Sorry to interrupt the Rudy discussion with off topic, but........has anyone followed any of this story?
The man who says he's JFK's son

JFK's Son?
I'm sorry, but who exactly is looking to "pay" Rudy to speak? does he at least have to show up in drag to collect the 100k? or is this just another Rudy pipe-dream like winning in Florida?
Better you - than us... This worked out just fine, don't you think?
Rudy who?
comedian mary hamm?
were those lines supposed to be funny?
i am not one to cast aspersions, but when you say of a man who is a constitutional authority, sat 8 years in the state house and has been elected to the us senate, who used his law degree, not to get a job on wall street, but to help the people and work in public service that " he of no particular accomplishments" well that smacks of outright racism
wes @ 32:
here is what john boy has accomplished
at 42 he was able to dump his disabled wife for a rich young chippie
he got dad in law to finance his political career
he was able to finagle himself out of being prosecuted as one of the keating 5
and now he has experienced a conversion regarding the torture of anyone but himself
100k is nothing for those scumbags. They'll just embezzle it from the sucker of choice and the government will bail them out.
Rudy doesn't need to go on the circuit. Now that he's come out, there's a line in the house and the Senate to have him deliver "personal" speeches. For $250K he will come to your house/apt/hotel dressed as your favorite queen and personally deliver some motivation. For $500K, he swallows.
I find it bizarre that anyone would pay to hear that guy speak, let alone pay him that kind of figure.
As soon as Giuli gets rich enough, Osama's planning to kidnap him and hold him for ransom.
Problem with that is, who will pay?
Did anyone notice the real story on that screen image?. look at the bottom, notice how the Democrats out voted the repugs almost '3 to 1' in a so called "Red state". Thats the true unreported story in this campain, thats not getting reported.!!!!
