That’s what most people in the real world say about Rudy is he’s honest.

[veronica]

Of course. Obviously, Bolton is a treasonous liberal.

:)

Seriously though, I do think certain anti-Rudy types think Rudy is too beholden to the "neocons" (wink wink) who are for "perpetual war" - and Bolton is part of that "cabal."

[babaloo]

A51—help me out here! LOL!

[areafiftyone]

Obviously, Bolton is a treasonous liberal. Rudy could exhume Ronald Reagans corpse, reanimate it and have the gipper campaign for him, and I still would not vote for Rudi

I'll alert the media for you.

[areafiftyone]

LOL! Just wanted to make you stew a bit for FORGETTING YOUR SARCASM TAG ;-)!

Spyder - babaloo was being sarcastic. He's a Rudy person! LOL!

[babaloo]

Correct on all accounts except that I am a SHE!!! LOL!

[areafiftyone]

YIKES! OOPS! I am so sorry! Do you know how many times I’ve been called Pal, Buddy, Guy, He, His, Dude! ROFLMAO!

[Jake The Goose]

I don’t think so. Rudy had to deal with the evil U.N. when he was mayor - Bolton and him have a lot in common in that regard

Wow - you said it !!!

Um...am I the only one who noticed that John Bolton's name wasn't mentioned ANYWHERE other than in the title? He's not in the article at all.

The only time Giuliani is mentioned at ALL in the article is for this:

Mr. Scheunemann, a former president of the Committee for the Liberation of Iraq and advisor to former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, sounded equally unimpressed with some recent comments from Rudy Giuliani, who told reporters last week that President Bush and the Democrats in Congress should reach a compromise over Iraq funding legislation that includes dates of withdrawal.

Hmm...misleading, much?

[areafiftyone]

Its not misleading. Its in the title and that’s where it is mentioned. I didn’t make it up. What are you trying to pull?

[politicalwit]

Rudy had to deal with the evil U.N. when he was mayor

Other than municipal dealings (trying to collect parking tickets), Rudy had nothing to do with the operations of the UN. Rudy's was nothing more than a tick on the hound dog's butt.

IT'S ON PAGE THREE THIS IS A THREE PAGE ARTICLE AND I DIDN'T EXCEPT IT! I wish you would read the article before calling in the Rudy haters! Thank you! Here it is:

Mr. Giuliani has criticized some aspects of the American performance in Iraq, but has basically supported the President’s plan without addressing its specific shortcomings. Asked about his day-to-day Iraq advisor, his campaign would only say that he speaks with many individuals, including retired Gen. Jack Keane and former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton.

The picture they used is priceless:

Riding the Rough Beast: Candidates Hillary Clinton, Rudolph Giuliani, Barack Obama, John McCain, John Edwards, Mitt Romney, Bill Richardson, Chris Dodd, Joe Biden

They've got Rudy right where he belongs. :-)

[areafiftyone]

Well that’s the NY Observer for ya. They can’t stand Rudy either or any Republicans for that matter.

[dforest]

Um...am I the only one who noticed that John Bolton's name wasn't mentioned ANYWHERE other than in the title? He's not in the article at all.

Its a common Rudeo tactic. They like name dropping. If only to provide the perception that the particlar name they are dropping is endorsing Rudy.

[CharlesWayneCT]

Asked about his day-to-day Iraq advisor, his campaign would only say that he speaks with many individuals, including retired Gen. Jack Keane and former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton.

I'm not sure that "advising" is the same as "talking to". Advising suggests a level of support that isn't indicated by the article.

[areafiftyone]

Well you can be sure that Bolton is not just talking to Rudy He’s giving advice.

[CharlesWayneCT]

The article says nothing about Bolton backing Rudy. It doesn’t even say that Bolton and Keane are “advising” Rudy.

The article simply states that Rudy has talked to Bolton and Keane.

Now, I’d love to be able to have access to talk to Bolton, but if I did, it wouldn’t mean he supported me.

I’m certain that the person who added that to the title did not MEAN to mislead people into thinking Bolton was advising Rudy as if Bolton was in his camp or something.

See my post #32. I just forgot to except the article. It is three pages long.
