Giuliani’s dream VP: Dick Cheney.»

In a radio interview with “The Big Picture on the Radio Show” on South Carolina’s ETV Radio, Rudy Giuliani talked about how he plans to choose his vice president:

cheneyyan.jpg I would want a vice president who was a partner. Someone who was in on everything that was going on, so that that person could take over if, God forbid, something happened. […]

How do you pick a vice president? … I think Vice President Cheney and President Bush’s pick of Vice President Cheney is a good example of picking someone who is qualified to be president of the United States. That is number one — it’s paramount.

  4. VerbalKint Says:

    Rudy isn’t going to win many voters with that one.


  5. Spudge Boy Says:

    President Bush’s pick of Vice President Cheney

    Cheney picked himself you stupid fu*k. Bush didn’t have a say in who his VP would be.


  6. Marcus Aurelius Says:

    So, Guilani would choose Putin as a running mate? Is that even legal?


  7. gummitch Says:

    Wow. This quickly turned into a plunger spam thread, didn’t it?

    You’re a pain in the patoot, plunger. Why not give it a rest?

    Maybe not legal, but if the president does it . . . great catch, though. The authoritarian Republican party would love them some PutinPower.


  9. MWG Says:

    I think the more comparisons that are drawn between Rudy and shrub, the fewer votes Rudy for prez will wind up getting..

    Darth Dick? The most criminal VP ever, is a good choice? I don’t think so, Rudy, oh forgot, you like criminals, my bad, carry on.

  11. SP Biloxi Says:

    Giuliani’s wet dream VP: Dick Cheney. LOL! With Rudy’s cross-dressing, his pick can go either gender.


  12. Bad Eye Says:

    Boiling down Rudi’s comment, it’s paramount to pick someone who is qualified to be president of the U.S.

    No sh*t, sherlock. Besides, I guess that rules you out, Rudi.


  13. Leftside Annie Says:

    Good grief. I used to actually *like* Rudy Giuiliani…but he has made it abundantly clear that he’s every bit as batshit crazy as the batshit craziest neocon on the friggin’ planet.

    If not crazier. Y-I-K-E-S.


  14. pbg Says:

    So Giuliani doesn’t really want to be President?


  15. Coffins Draped with a Flag Says:

    Rudy won’t win the general election anyway. The Republicans will split their votes between the “Rudy Repulican” and the “Dobson Republican”. Just wait, there’s a new “party” just waiting to be born or should I say “born again” by the time of the general election.


  16. Uncle Ho Says:

    See, Judy really IS batshit crazy.

    Mr. 5-deferment Dickhead Cheney is not only fat like Hermann Goering, but just as evil.


  17. Marcus Aurelius Says:

    Cheney always manages to get the libs roiled; it’s as if they believe he has a weather machine or something.

    Dude! You are so cool! Can I hang out with you?


  18. Uncle Ho Says:

    OT- OK, you Reichwing Brownshirts, how do you want your crow? Raw, or with Tabasco sauce?

    Last week, Republicans blamed the California fires on America-haters, liberals, Democrats, Al Qaeda, tree-hugging environmentalists, little green men from Mars, and others.

    It was a 10-year old boy playing with matches. Apologise you neo-Nazi trolls and Gopers.


  19. VerbalKint Says:

    just don’t hit on my dog this time.

    We all know how much trolls like to project.


  20. gummitch Says:

    Ah, it must already be Friday night in Virginia and the trolls, entirely lacking in social lives, will be glued to their computers into the wee hours. After all, if you can’t get a date (even at a college with a 2:1 advantage for guys) you might as well get a little attention by posting moronic comments on a blog.


  21. Spudge Boy Says:

    No we don’t, do tell.

    Comment by Dig Dug — November 2, 2007 @ 7:00 pm

    Yes we do. Go fu*k yourself.


  22. leftcoast Says:

    Giuliani is Bush in Cheney clothing.


  23. leftcoast Says:

    So would that mean Cheney is Giuliani in Bush clothing?

    Comment by Dig Dug — November 2, 2007 @ 7:12 pm
    No, they just share the same clothier.


  24. AustinSF Says:

    All insiders say that the VP slot is a lock and going to x_RNC Chairmain/Governor Mississippi Haley Barbour (Cheney’s corrupt evil corrupt twin brother) - close enough - huh?

    2008 Republican ticket will be Giuliani-Barbour.

    BushCo still rules the party with an iron fist and this is the 2008 GOP ticket.


  25. Wayne A. Schneider Says:

    Looks like Rudy’s trying to guarantee himself that 26% of the country that adores Bush.


  26. leftcoast Says:

    Austin-love Texas. Spent 12 years there. But, no one in their right mind would drink from the aquifer now tainted by the sludge flowing from Crawford.


  27. Marcus Aurelius Says:

    Dude! You are so cool! Can I hang out with you?
    Comment by Marcus Aurelius — November 2, 2007 @ 6:54 pm

    Well…I guess so, just don’t hit on my dog this time.

    Comment by Dig Dug — November 2, 2007 @ 6:56 pm

    I only hit him once, and only with a rolled-up newspaper. Someone has to teach him that he’s supposed to lick his nuts - not yours.


  28. nwmuse Says:

    This is a scary thought.. I know Bush can’t serve a 3rd term, but is it even possible for Cheney to be chosen as someone else’s VP? That will be my cue to move to another country.


  29. dixie blood Says:

    Phuck Trudy Julie Annie!

    NYC is launching an investigation into this little pansy a$$ RePugniScum, facist piece of sh!t former mayor concerning the failed radios on 9/11 and the no-bid contract he signed with Motorola (scums) and the higher death rate amoung firemen vs. the policemen.

    His run for anything than avoiding jail is OVER!!!


  30. The Republic of Stupidity Says:

    Aw, this is just T/rudi’s way of letting us know who’ll be wearin’ the pants in the WH once he’s elected, and it won’t be T/rudi…


  31. Zooey Says:

    I can’t find anything that says Cheney CAN’T be VP again. The 22nd Amendment does not apply. It looks like tradition is the only thing that has kept us from a perpetual VP — and we all know how devoted Cheney is to tradition. *spit*

    Now we know why the Cons are running Rudy the Idiot.


  32. pete Says:

    Hi Zooey.

    Don’t forget. If George were to be killed in a “terrorist” attack; our next President will be “President for Life Cheney”. No need to distract him with pesky elections.

    Likely? No, but it’s all too possible.


  33. pete Says:

    I can’t understand your glee over the rotating primaries. It sounds like a ploy to let the Supreme Court to choose our Prez. Again.

    Do you really want nine people to, potentially, overrule the will of the electorate?


  34. Zooey Says:

    I’m thinking Giuliani/Jeb!
    Comment by TCDon — November 2, 2007 @ 11:41 pm

    Of course you are.

    Dipshit.


  35. Lefty Patriot Says:

    the Dem. convention because Florida is having its primary earlier than Dean had attempted to dictate.

    Comment by TCDon — November 2, 2007 @ 11:41 pm

    so you still don’t know how the political system works, is that what you’re admitting, you idiot? You didn’t have to bother, you prove your rank ignorance with every post, you traitor.


  36. nwmuse Says:

    Perhaps Giuliani will have Cheney pick HIS VP for him too.. (Wonder who that would be?)


  37. drtichy Says:

    This would be the RUDIDICK team at the WH.

    Hey, presidents cannot be elected the third time. Only twice. S\Old Shrunk Dick has already been president twice. He is no longer eligible.

    (Pretending that Bush was the president… this is BUSHIT!!)


  38. dixie blood Says:

    I can’t find anything that says Cheney CAN’T be VP again. The 22nd Amendment does not apply. It looks like tradition is the only thing that has kept us from a perpetual VP — and we all know how devoted Cheney is to tradition. *spit*

    Comment by Zooey — November 2, 2007 @ 11:13 pm

    The best reason yet to impeach Dick(head) Cheney NOW!!!!!!! Are you listening Nancy PollLoser???



  39. Clumberfeet Says:

    Giuliani, ‘Stay the course.’


  40. RUCerious Says:

    How appropriate that Darth is wearing a stinkin’ yankee cap.
    Self appointed Veep in charge of puppeteering.


  41. dixie blood Says:

    In the picture above you can’t see BOTH of Dick(head) Cheney’s hands…that means he’s working Trudy Julie Annie’s head with one of his hands stuck up Trudy Julie Annie’s A$$!!!


  42. Patriot Says:

    That article says nothing. All Giuliani said was that he liked how President Bush picked his VP. He was just saying he wanted a VP that would be involved in everything. Stating what your looking for and giving a case example are not the same as naming a person you want.
