Giuliani is the Reigning Assclown


I thought Assclown of the week might go to Joe Lieberman for his Iran comments. But, it is kind of old news. So, I thought maybe it is Hillary for her ridiculous campaign song. But, I thought she redeemed herself by trashing big mouth Chris Mathews in front of an AFSCME audience. Then I saw the article about Rudy Giuliani who was too busy fundraising to participate in the Iraq Study Group. You see Rudy last May resigned his post on the Iraq Study Group after just two months on the panel and not showing up for an official meeting. James Baker, the chariman of the group told him "attend the meeting or quit."

So, what did Rudy do? He quit. Why? He said his previous time committments precluded him from attending meetings. What you ask could preclude him from attending a group tasked with ending or fixing (which they did not do) the greatest foreign policy disaster in recent memory? I will let Newsday describe it: Giuliani’s alleged “previous time commitments” were simply fundraisers that conflicted with the Iraq Study Group’s meetings. The ISG held three sessions during Giuliani’s tenure in 2006 but that he did not show up for: working sessions on April 11 and 12, and May 18 and 19. “The sessions at times conflicted with Giuliani’s lucrative speaking tour that garnered him $11.4 million in 14 months.”

Assclown - Assclown - Assclown.

If the Democrats lose in 2008, it is their damn fault. The Rethuglicans put up these asses, and the only way that they win is if the Dems nominate Hillary "Celine" clinton. I, for one, will be working to make sure she is not the one running in 2008.

I could not agree more daddydan. You watch though. the dems will do their very best to blow it.

Hillary will cause a firestorm in the 2008 election. It is so odd though. That is the exact reason we nominated kerry because people thought he could win instead of Dean or whoever.

Now, the opposite is true which will again be the wrong decision.
