Carlson: Giuliani acts like he kept ‘third tower…from falling.’»

On Meet the Press this morning, Bloomberg columnist Margaret Carlson commented on former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s claim that he “was at ground zero as often, if not more, than most of the workers.” “Giuliani now believes his own rhetoric,” said Carlson. “That he practically, maybe there was a third tower he kept from falling.” Watch it:

Transcript:

MARGARET CARLSON: The walk in the Baghdad market and the visit to Jerry Falwell. I think he’s lost that to people, even like Giuliani, who by the way, made a huge mistake this week, saying that he spent more time at ground zero than the 9/11 rescue workers. And it made me see that Giuliani now believes his own rhetoric. And that he practically, maybe there was a third tower he kept from falling.

    I hope Rudy G keeps talking and talking……


  2. Jay Randal Says:

    Giuliani is a crazy cross-dressing lunatic, so he needs therapy and not to be elected President of the United States of America.


  3. Ben Dover Says:

    What?? Someone in the conservative biased media telling the truth about America’s mayor?? We need to get the goon squad out and have them slide bamboo shoots under Ms Carlson’s fingernails for this travesty.

    Comment by Ed Stone — August 12, 2007 @ 12:47 pm

    Not after the first You Tube presidential campaign in American history.

    Guiliani has an anger problem and a loathesome willingness to pander to racists.

    It’s only a matter of time before we see the cell-phone-cam footage of him screaming at a 19 year old volunteer until she cries. Then it’s bye-bye Rudy.

  12. GSD Says:

    “What we don’t see is that freedom is not a concept in which people can do anything they want, be anything they can be. Freedom is about authority. Freedom is about the willingness of every single human being to cede to lawful authority a great deal of discretion about what you do.”

    -Rudy Giuliani

    America’s mayor=America’s dictator.

    Over at Shakespere’s Sister’s, they have an article about trolls forming their own union. In it, the author described Trollism:

    - Spending an inordinate amount of time where you’re not wanted;
    - A slavish, dog-like obedience to authority;
    - A willingness to mimic any talking point;
    - A willingness to change any opinion you hold at the drop of the President’s hat;
    - A contempt for those who challenge you on any point.

  44. BARTLEBEE Says:

    Personally I think instead of walking down the street through the smoke and dust arm and arm with paramedics and cops, Julani should have donned chorus line clothes, a wig and make up, and strutted a chorus line down broadway. Then people could see how he really felt about 911.

    To Julie-ani, 911 was an opportunity. Nothing more.

    Giuliani is a great man. Maybe he should have moved the command center out of the towers as was suggested, but hey, at least he did it after they fell, right?


  50. Sonny Red Says:

    That command center was a joke anyway. What good did it do? Could they “command” the towers to not fall? No. Just another liberal excuse for not voting for a really good man.

  52. BARTLEBEE Says:

  53. BARTLEBEE Says:

    The command center was a “joke”? Julie-Annie was warned repeatedly to move the command center from the twin towers and he refused. Because of that decision, American firefighters, policemen and other emergency workers lost their lives. The Joke was that Ruby Julie-Annie wasn’t run out of town on 9-12.


  54. katy Says:

    Are you wearing Zooey’s clothes too, or just using her handle?


  58. Justice Says:

    hey Sonny boy, NO ONE can beat Hillary in the debates. She is far and away the best at the debates, it is her forte. Every single time she is in a debate, her polls go up. She is extremely saavy in debate forums, knows her way around policy AND can think on her feet like no other candidate. gouliani is a very poor debater, is unable to make a point or answer a question on the table and veers off into lala land every time.
    Dodd is also good in a debate, but Hillary can smoke him too.
    Obama is getting his groove on and improving in debates but hasn’t hit his stride (yet anyway)
    I say Hill will win the nomination, and if she does her best move is to pick Obama as her running mate, they will win in a landslide. If Obama wins the nomination, then he should ask Hillary to be his running mate. Either way, we are going to WIN WIN WIN. Not one Repig can debate any better than a 3rd grader.


  59. BARTLEBEE Says:

    The real Zooey luvs Bartlebee.


  60. Sonny Red Says:

    Look. The topic is Giuliani and we need to stay on topic. I am fully aware that he was asked to move the command center from the towers but he’s the Mayor and the decision was his. If Americans died because of it then thats part of the duty of being a loyal American.

    No one is better equipped to lead this country than Rudy Giuliani regardless of left wing 911 complaints.

    Comment by dbadass — August 12, 2007 @ 2:25 pm

    Gladly. His equipment is years of leadership as demonstrated by how he rallied the people after 911. He kicked the 911 rescue workers in the ass on more than one occasion and helped clean up that effort. There was a lot of gold in a safe and he got it all out safely (ha ha, pun not intended) and he saved the day.

    But the best thing hes got going for him is he supported President Bush which you libtards just can’t do because you’re weak. He also has humility which is demonstrated whenever he puts on a dress. Only a strong male figure like him could feel comfortable dressing up like that. You guys don’t see it but he’s a great man and hes going to be your new boss so you’d better get used to liking him.


  64. PICOT HORI Says:

    Huh. I see that Mr P, Ed Stone, who stole Zooeys moniker, is also the Zooey persuer michael. And now he wants to boink every man here.

    Let me be the first to say, “No thanks.”

    Ed Stone, Rudia, aka Rudy finished behind Ron Paul, made a poor showing at the Iowa straw poll, but still ahead of McCain.


  65. Sonny Red Says:

    He spent more time at ground zero than any of those complaining wimps and he NEVER complained about it. People are crying because they got sore throats and scratchy eyes but thats because they’re whining leftards.

    Real men like Rudy Giuliani don’t complain over a little soot. They just brush it aside and keep on going .

    Dream on. The social “conservatives” won’t have him - haven’t you noticed that the Iowa straw poll listed “none of the above” as the most electable republican in ‘08. And that included Rudy…

    Polls scmollls.

    Rudy will win because we decided he needs to win. You’ll see. When the war on terror gets a little bigger our President will out of necessity impose martial law. Then you libs won’t get to cheat in your fancy elections and President Bush will hold office until he decides to appoint a sucessor. And when he does he’ll appoint Rudy or someone like him who will be strong and defend the country from the sandvarmints.

    Thats because Clinton didn’t have humility like Rudy does. It takes real humility to put on a dress like that. Thats one of the things that makes Rudy great.

  98. Probus Says:

    Guiliani used the victims’ deaths and the sacrifice of the 9-11 rescue workers to further his political ambitions. Those workers showed more heroism than he could ever hope to. He dishonored the memory of the victims.

    Prove me wrong Sonny Red. Provide a link that says you are not a child-touching, gay Repugniscum? Just one link!! Can’t do it can you??

    When I tried to post. Is this a hint to the problems we are experiencing with TP?


  104. ronjazz Says:

    Rudi has his gown picked out for the inauguration. he doesnt expect to win, but he expects to be invited. His wants his date to be Barney Frank, but Barney is pretty sure that Sonny Red wants to go out with him, so he’s keeping his options open.

    Only a really sick bunch of rightards could want to elect a bigger pansy-ass blowhard coward than Bush. Rudi fits that skirt. I hope he is nomininated, he wont win 5 states.


  105. ronjazz Says:

    all the rightards and many dems are of the belief that Obama or Clinton can’t win, but I guarantee that if Rudi’s the repig sacrificial lamb. Either of the two dems will win in a landslide that will make world headlines.

  108. Jason M. Hendler Says:

    I was trying to watch the Fox News Sunday program, while they interviewed Mitt Romney, but when I turned the channel to Meet the Press during a commercial, it was so much more interesting, that I remained tuned in for most of the first 1/2 hour. I intend to watch the whole thing tonight on MSNBC.

    The segment between DNC (Clintonista) Harold Ford and netrooter Kos (couldn’t begin to spell his name) was excellent. They traded barbs, but I was very disappointed when Kos totally folded like a lawn chair when confronted with his own words about Hill’reh Clinton. Is it any wonder the Dems can’t stand up to Bush, when Kos himself can’t even stand behind his own words about Hill’reh?

    It is obvious that Kos will march along behind the DNC after they win the Presidential primaries for their party, knowing full well that the Clintonistas triangulated against the netrooters to cause their loss. Guess Kos is OK with Bush-Cheney lite.

    […]
    What do our opponents mean when they apply to us the label “Liberal?” If by “Liberal” they mean, as they want people to believe, someone who is soft in his policies abroad, who is against local government, and who is unconcerned with the taxpayer’s dollar, then the record of this party and its members demonstrate that we are not that kind of “Liberal.” But if by a “Liberal” they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people — their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties — someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a “Liberal,” then I’m proud to say I’m a “Liberal.”

    I was trying to watch the Fox News Sunday program[…]

    Typical for a Repugniscum, Ghoul-Aid guzzling suck up. I don’t watch their (Fux nOOoze) sh*t, it corrupts the brain. But, you wouldn’t know that…

    Margaret Carlson is an ex girlfriend of Fred Thompson, according to Rachel Maddow of Air America. That means that her criticisms of any other Republican are suspect. But Giuliani was looney, saying he was at ground zero as much as first responders. He was photo op king in those days.

    Aha, a third tower did fall! Remember Building 7?

    MR GUILIANI
    PLEASE ANSWER THE FOLLOWING:
    YOU SAY THAT ‘PEOPLE SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN HEALTH’
    1. DID YOU CAUSE YOUR OWN PROSTATE CANCER?
    2. WHO PAID FOR YOUR INSURANCE?
    3. IF IT WAS THE GOVERNMENT-AS YOU WERE A ‘PUBLIC’ EMPLOYEE (MIND YOU, THE WORD IS ‘WERE’ AS YOU ARE NOT PRESENTLY EMPLOYED BY NEW YORK—- (AND WE ‘ALL’ WORK FOR THE GOVERNMENT DO WE NOT?)—-WAS THAT ‘SOCIALIZED?:
    4. WHAT WAS THE COST OF YOUR CANCER TREATMENT?
    5. DO YOU PAY YOUR OWN INSURANCE PREMIUMS NOW?
    6. IF YOU DO—ARE YOU CONSIDERED ‘INSURABLE’ AS YOU HAD PROSTATE CANCER?
    7. DO YOU GET A ‘GOOD DEAL’ FROM YOUR INSURER?
    6. IF NOT WHO DOES?
    7.


  114. ILA Says:

    I have a ‘correction’ with regard to my last post regarding Mr. Guiliani’s insurance premiums:
    WHO, MR GUILIANI PAYS YOUR INSURANCE PREMIUMS AT PRESENT–IF YOU DO NOT?

    AS YOU ARE A ‘PRIVATE’ CITIZEN, CAN WE ASSUME IT IS YOURSELF?
    OR, ARE YOU ON SOME TYPE OF ‘SOCIALIZED’ INSURANCE PROGRAM–SUCH AS OBTAINING FUNDING FOR YOUR PREMIUMS BY THE STATE OR CITY OF NEW YORK?

    IF THIS IS THE CASE, IT’S IN DIRECT CONFLICT WITH YOUR POSITION THAT EACH PERSON SHOULD PAY HIS/HER OWN PREMIUMS OUT OF HIS/HER OWN POCKET—NEVER MIND THAT EACH OF US HAS ALREADY PAID–AND THE MONIES HAVE BEEN SENT BY MR. GUILIANI’S PARTY TO THE WAR MACHINE!

    Wow, Holy mother of Mary’s image charred on a grilled cheese sandwinch, Batman. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    We all knew this. Well except for the 27 percenters that for what ever poor reason. Just can’t seem to see this of Rudolph.

    But there it is right smack on the TV. !!!!!!!!!!!

    Is this a sign of hope for freedom of the press or what…..?


  116. Toni Hildebrand Says:

    Why is American society so sexist? Is there something in the food - testosterone, LSD, mad cow disease? It seems when Hillary was previously in the White House some idiots burned her in effigy. I get the uncomfortable feeling that a lot of other people would like to do it for real. But Rudy is another matter altogether. He’s a Real Man -even if he’s a real man in a dress. J. Edgar Hoover was another man who loved a good frock. There was a third tower, as a matter of fact: WTC building number 7. As far as I know Mr Giuliani wasn’t seen flying across the sky in his dress ,complete with tasteful cape to prevent this building from mysteriously being ‘pulled’ i.e. demolished. How liars like him keep their lying stories ’straight’ is hard to imagine. The Republican Party is rotten to the core and it pollutes everything in it and around it, including the Democrats, elections and the entire political culture. They deserve to be out of power for fifty years but I doubt that even that would cure them.
