Giuliani's words have hollow ring - Presidential hopeful keeps flip-flopping

I will say my juvenile pile is reserved for those with over inflated egos mouthing BS.

Here is a quandry. Inasmuch as the forum is in text, it would be quite impossible for me to "mouth" anything. But then, the proper analogy wouldn't be "type" because "mouth" implies a lack of sound and I can assure you that what I typed indeed appeared right there on the screen.

What would your years of study and your profound intellect suggest in this situation?

[TommyDale]

I really don’t feel good about matching wits with you, an unarmed man.

What would your years of study and your profound intellect suggest in this situation?

Since you asked, I would suggest a psychoanalyst, Prozac, and a beer.

When the shrink holds up those little ink blots?, don't say Rudy to each of them.

[AmishDude]

I really don’t feel good about matching wits with you, an unarmed man.

No, the cliches don't work so well for you, unfortunately. But I admire the attempt. You are clearly working very hard at this and I must give you the A for effort, at least.

It takes some practice to perfect the backhanded complement. It's really what separates the champion from the amateur. If I may continue the tennis analogy, so many think they are professionals if they can master the serve, but the game is won in the volley. Or, more effectively, in making your opponent turn to one side and then, quickly, the other.

At some point, he simply becomes tired over the long game.

[AmishDude]

This is an excellent example. You see, it's supposed to be a clever backhanded complement, but it just comes off as a desparate attempt to post the word "stupid" in some context.

Sad, really.

"No, a huge majority of Pro-Lifers are not jihadists unless that is abortion is the only requirement they have in a candidate."

A Pro-life position is not my only requirement for a candidate. But it is my first requirement.

[AmishDude]

Since you asked, I would suggest a psychoanalyst, Prozac, and a beer.

Indeed.

And for me?

[TommyDale]

Yada, yada, yada. Why don’t you return to the DU forum and bash Jerry Falwell, or to the DNC and promote your candidate, Rudy Giuliani?

[dforest]

And for me?

Ah, that was for you because you asked me what I would suggest.

You may need an extra beer, though

“Giuliani Up, McCain Up, Romney Down, and Ron Paul Out — Way Out”

Check out Byron York’s take at NRO.

[AmishDude]

Yada, yada, yada.

And so it always happens when pearls are cast before such a lot. A pity, but predictable nonetheless.

[Liz]

When the shrink holds up those little ink blots?.... don't say "Rudy" to each of them.

Gotta watch that stuff...... saying nutsy-cuckoo things like that to a shrink could alert the men in the white coats. And for heaven's sakes, try not to say:

"Rudy, Tudy, he's my man,
If he can't beat 'em, nobody can."

Course, lotta the Rooty Rooter wideawake types been sipping stuff that makes their brains freeze. Now, because I am so nice, I am giving 'em a friendly warning:

WARNING TO WIDEAWAKES Two or three No-Doze tablets washed down with a six-pack of this

can affect cognitive ability (if you ever had one).

[TommyDale]

You have become a drolling worthless sound.

[Liz]

I can tell----you're all broke up about it (sniffle)......

Here......(sob).

[TommyDale]

I don’t recall casting any pearls before you. Say, are you one of those “posse clowns”?

[AmishDude]

It’s so cute. Seeing you try so hard.

[Jake The Goose]

Damn Liz - you have seem my hat collection.

I had the tooth fixed however.

[AmishDude]

Say, are you one of those “posse clowns”?

Ah. No, in fact, I am not. I do not mock people behind their backs, I do it right to their (virtual) face. Even if they do not realize how badly they are being mocked.

[Liz]

LOL———love ya, baby.
