Rudy Giuliani is a Joke

Weekend Wrap-Up ·          Rudy “Noun-Verb-9/11” Giuliani said the following about Joe Biden: "I don't think he's nuts. I'm just saying I wonder if he's got the kind of balance - probably what I should have said is the balance to be president of the United States. " “This guy is like one gaffe after another, and he's a joke on late-night television."   Well here is what ‘America’s Mayor’ had to say about that great vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin in 2008: In choosing Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate, John McCain has chosen for the future. The other guy looked back. John looked forward. Gov. Palin represents a new generation. She’s already one of the most successful governors in America and the most popular. And she’s already had more executive experience than the entire Democratic ticket combined. She’s been a mayor. I love that. I’m sorry — I’m sorry that Barack Obama feels that her hometown isn’t co...

Monday Mishegas - 13Feb2012

Blog bits and bytes from 30,000 feet

Memo to USAirways: It’s not a good idea to offer salmon as an entrée in first class.   The smell of cooked fish in a confined space with recycled air.   Friggin’ brilliant.   I am better off spending the flight in the lavatory. So regulation kills jobs?   Decades of financial deregulation led to the loss of 8 million jobs over a two year period.   Sorry, not buying. Republicans want to play chicken with the debt ceiling as a bargaining chip to get concessions from the Obama administration.   Don’t play Mr. President.   You have the pulpit so call them on being reckless.   Anne Hathaway to play Catwoman in next Dark Knight film; here’s my $7.   Any chance we can get Mila Kunis in the film, and you know… Congressman Steve Cohen (D-TN) on the floor of the house: "Just like Goebbels, you say it enough, you repeat the lie, you repeat the lie, you repeat the lie, and eventually people believe it. The Germans said enough about the Jews and the peopl...
