Giuliani's cross-dressing antics back in spotlight

I doubt the terrorists will care “why” he dressed as a woman. They will simply use the photos to recruit. I bet recruitment will go through the roof.

“THAT’S their leader? BWAHAHHA!! Where do I sign?”

Hillary’s more masculine than he is. She doesn’t have a lisp. He ran away last time they faced off. If we are stupid enough to nominate this big city tooty fruity, we deserve the beating we get.

The only place these photos hurt Rudy Giuliani is in the imaginations of the anti-Rudy crowd.

The only ones who believe that have drunk too much Roody-Aide.

Rudy’s habits ping!

—as one who has gone to Halloween parties in drag, years ago, padded and completely disguised except for my 5’11” height, I agree with you—— but the Demotraitors will use this against Guilaini regionally if he is the candidate-—

The yahoos in the stix will not understand it,

The "yahoos in the stix" (otherwise known as red-state voters in flyover country who constitute the base of the GOP) are sick of slicks like you talking down to them.

Wrong.

If Rudy had done it once, it would be forgivable. But he's done it on several occasions. He seems to have some sort of a cross-dressing fetish, and seems to enjoy it a little too much. I, and most people I know, won't vote for a transvestite.

Or people who use their own statements as “evidence” to support their positions.

Give me a choice between a cross-dresser documented all over the Internet and a Mormon who wears magic underwear and keeps it to himself. I’ll vote every time for the guy who understands discretion is the better part of valor.

The question is how voters will ultimately react to Giuliani’s willingness, some might even say *eagerness* to get involved with gags which include cross-dressing (Milton Berle was notorious for this but I don’t recall anybody questioning his masculinity), the political risk is exactly what has already been emphasized, i.e., images of Rudy in drag subconsciously remind people of his liberal views on homosexual ‘rights’, on abortion, on gender issues, his own marital escapades, which eventually lead to his firmly stated positions on other issues like guns, economics, etc.

The cross-dressing is just a side-show (some might say a freak show), there are much more substantial issues that Rudy is 100 percent wrong about that will end up derailing his presidential aspirations.

The only way Rudy is going to the White House is by invitation, or by lining up for the weekend tour outside the gates. Sorry Rudyphiles, that’s just the way it is.

Rudy can easily turn this lemon into lemonade by going on Oprah or Letterman

Do you believe conservatives watch those twits? I thought those programs were for hte liberals. Oops, I forgot this is Rudy Judy we are talking about.

LOL!

I love watching the Rudy haters pull every scrap they can to try to knock him down. Not realizing that each time they do it they look kookier and kookier and it only helps Rudy among the rational voters.

You think that terrorists will be able to recruit more Islamic extremists because of these old pictures? I don’t think that’s on their top ten list of why they want to kill us.

[joylyn]

Terrorists readily don women’s clothing as a disguise. I’ve also read that Arab men put on women’s robes to sneak into the women’s quarters of houses for assignations. So I doubt they’ll be shocked at all. You’re the one who has a problem with a longstanding theatrical practice.

Also, contrary to this article, I don’t recall New Yorkers being shocked by any of these appearances.

The only place these photos hurt Rudy Giuliani is in the imaginations of the anti-Rudy crowd. It is one more example of their bad political judgment.

No...

It's goofball LIBERALS like Kerry in the "bunny suit", Dukakis with the oversized helmet on in the tank turret, and RINO-rudy in his various cross-dressing outfits that have the bad political judgement.

“The yahoos in the stix will not understand it, but they were rendered irrelevant in 2006 and will be more so next year.”

You really believe that you are some sort of superior being, don’t you? This is exactly why many of us do not want Rudy, and you, in the Whitehouse.
Want to find out who the “yahoos” are? Drag your butt outside your urban beehive, and make a living in the real world.

Rudy’s habits ping!

"Habits"? Good Lord, aren't you aware of when these events took place either? If that's a habit, then I'm a habitual drunk because over ten years ago I got a bit tipsy a couple of times at two weddings and one big shindig.

[100-Fold_Return]

Mrs. Clinton must be somewhat concerned with the former mayor has she's rerunning old news via her minions.

Maybe she is concerned about his bringing the Teflon Don down.

[Politicalmom]

Well, after all, he “knows people”. That makes him an expert.

*Snicker*

[staytrue]

Anti guiliani posters, turning FR into a cesspool of negativity.

And yet they are all so cheap, it takes three weeks or more to raise a lousy 70,000 dollars.
