Campaign AdWatch: Florida Firewalling

For a long time, Rudy Giuliani pooh-poohed the idea that his decision to sit back in Florida and wait for the more established candidates to come to compete at the end of January was anything other than a brilliant idea. But then other candidates started winning things, making speeches, and basking in the media eye. Whole weeks went by without so much as a mention of Giuliani from the punditocracy. So, he rushed up to New Hampshire, furtively competing for the affections of New Hampshire-ites, only to see John McCain - a guy who won't even torture people, for crying out loud! - win the primary.

And the media, as you know, just loves McCain because of his bus and his Straight Talk. They are the McCain base! So, a week after scaring the daylights out of America with his terrorporn, guess who Rudy's new enemy is? The media and their old-timey teevees!

Tested? Ready? Now? Hmm. You've lost all the tests so far. You say you won't be ready until January 29. And, now, you're a guy who barely beat Ron Paul.

Rudy says a requirement to be an American citizen should be that you must speak English, and yet, he is running an ad in Miami where he is speaking Spanish. If all citizens should speak English, then why he he doing ads in Spanish?

I realized Rudy was a total phony when he said that on 9/11/01, the first thing that came to his mind was "Thank God George Bush is President." Does anyone really believe his garbage?

That Tic Tac Toe board of talking heads looks suspiciously like the Crooks and Liars video intro...what's missing is Nixon chiming in with "I'm not a Crook!"

Rooty is a dog barking at a passing automobile............what he does , or thinks or says has no relevance....most have already dismissed him as a candidate.......those who have not done so need a good shrink.........I would like to see all of the Bush enablers stay in the race as long as possible........the more they fight /divide the better .
