It would appear that Rudy911 believes the United States is a nation of addictive personalities and codependent enablers that needs a strong, father figure to scold us when we’re being whiny, and who, when we’re afraid, will slap us across our faces and yell, “HOLD YOUR WATER LIKE A MAN!” He’s our political Werner Erhard, man. The Daddyator.
Yesterday, I received a copy of the 12 Step Program he plans on nailing to the main doors of the Capitol when he becomes President. I’ve taken the liberty of “interpreting” the press release for you, so you don’t have to. I’m just generous like that.
I’m running for President of the United States based on what I can offer the American people.
I’m pumped full of shallow rhetoric, baybay! Shallow rhetoric, empty calories and a proclivity to flipflop.
When I was the Mayor of New York, the city was in a crime crisis, a budget crisis and a financial crisis. When I left office, we had turned the city around dramatically with real results.
I coasted on the “slow but steady” changes implemented by my predecessors. Also, everyone knows black people can’t lead a major city like New York. Only hyper-aggressive white bullies like me can.
Many of the things I did as Mayor of New York City are transferable to what America needs now.
One item high on my agenda will be shutting down art museums. BTW, my PR girl told me about “transferable skills.” No, I haven’t slept with her. Not yet, anyway.
That’s why today I announced my 12 commitments to you, the American people.
Commitments. From Giuliani. Now that’s rich. Dude, you can’t even commit to your numerous wives.
These commitments are intended to lift our vision from the rear view mirror to the road ahead of us – the future.
History is for loosers. The only good thing about being behind someone is that you can riddle them with bullets before they know what hit ‘em. Ask Amadou Diallo. Oh, wait. You can’t.
My 12 commitments to the American people are:
Hold onto your hats, ladies and gents. Strong gusts of hot air follow:
FLYING FEARMONKEYS! FERRET SUICIDE BOMBERS! WE’RE THE VICTIMS HERE!
I will institute a nationwide test – you must have a certain maximum percentage of melanin in your skin in order to avoid being rounded up and put in my camps. Oh, and by the way, have you met my friend Mr. Goebbels?
I will also reverse the direction of the Earth’s rotation by flying around it really, really fast.
I have the invisible hand of the free market tickling my anal sphincter as we speak!
I will appoint Bernie Kerik “Accountability Czar” (after I pardon him, of course). Also, I will take the credit whenever Congress does something good, and I will blame Congress for any of my multitude of fuck-ups.
Thanks to my oil company clients at Bracewell & Giuliani, I know exactly what legal loopholes they’ll need!
I will ensure that my pharmaceutical company clients continue to reap record-breaking profits and will stack the FDA with industry lobbyists. Besides, Judi wants to exercise her stock options so she can buy more tiaras.
My PR girl told me to say that to get the fundamentalist nut jobs off my back. I’m settling for a compromise here: we force women to have babies so that there are more to adopt! It’s a win-win!
The Constitution is old and musty. It’s time we had a new one drafted. One that is to MY liking.
I will direct every municipality in the country to install an emergency response center in the biggest possible target for terrorist attacks that they have.
Only rich people will be able to afford mandatory charter schools for their children. Poor children will be apprenticed in the workhouses.
I’m going make my inaugural ballgown look goooooooooooood.
My focus – as it was when I ran for Mayor – is on the future. Because real leadership is focused on handing our nation to the next generation far better than it was handed to us.
Lily-livered, pansy-assed Frenchmen, the lot of you. You know NOTHING about acquiring power. I do, and I’ll turn a profit doing it. For example:
Giuliani Partners and Sabre Technical Services Form New Venture – Bio·ONE™
BOCA RATON, Fla., Jan. 13 /PRNewswire/ -
Flanked by Rudolph W. Giuliani, Chairman and CEO of Giuliani Partners LLC, and John Y. Mason, President and CEO of Sabre Technical Services LLC, David Rustine, President of Crown Companies and the new owner of the American Media Inc. (AMI) building announced today that Bio·ONE™(TM) has been selected to decontaminate and remediate the building — site of the first recognized anthrax incident in 2001.
That’s our Rudy. Full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. Nothing except dollar signs.

wow, it’s never me!
uno?
as a giuliani survivor, i just have to say — this guy better NOT become president. because he was authoritarian before authoritarian was cool.
Additional LOL entertainment…

Hey TJ – congrats!
BTW – Did you know that Valerie Plame was covert and Sandy Berger pleaded guilty and showed remorse.
13. I will restore sanctity to marriage.
allan_in_upstate @ 6
14. I will singlehandedly identify three new solar systems which contain life-sustaining planets.
14. i will get my kids to talk to me again.
14. I will make sure that every American knows the names of their first and second cousins.
dmg @ 8
15. But not their mother.
16. i will make the new york yankees the official team of the united states.
Yes, pwright, I’d heard Valerie Plame was covert and Sandy Berger pleaded guilty. Now I just need to google Sandy Berger to get up to speed.
(And thanks!)
The range of potential is not uplifting.
Giuliani for Fuehrer!

I too, am a Ghouliani survivor (NYC 1983ish? – 2006).
Ferrets ForEvuh!
P.S. Watertiger, hahaha!
What’s scary is Rudy is less scary than some of the other Republican candidates…though not by much.
Why would Americans WANT to be on the offensive forever?
watertiger, thank you.
SnarKassandra @ 17
Excellent point, Cassie
Watertiger – you always amaze! thank you!
SnarKassandra @ 17
Maybe it’s a typo, and he meant “act offensively” forever?
TJ @ 12
EPU’d from my previous post:
He took copies of classified documents from the National Archive hid them in a constructin site and then later destroyed them. He was caught by an employee at the archive. Berger pleaded guilty and showed remorse and was given probation. He also voluntarily gave up his law license.
Many REP are using the GOP talking point that what is happening to Libby is unfair because Berger isn’t going to jail and that somehow what Berger did was worse than Libby. But that talking point ignores the fact that Berger confessed, pleaded guilty and showed remorse for his actions – something Libby has NOT done.
(you are welcome and thank you for your blogging this morning on gabbly!)
Oh – and Sandy Berger was a Clinton Cabinet Member that’s why the GOP Talking Heads keep bringing it up! Remember it is all Clinton’s fault.

Whoa. Way too much information!
Giuliani’s 12 Commandments? Didn’t God only have 10?
Not that we didn’t know Giuliani thinks himself more important than God. It’s just funny to see him so blatantly underlining it.
SnarKassandra @ 17
because we have to attack them before they attack us – come on don’t you get that F*%cked Up logic.
If you don’t you must think for yourself – stop that the GOP wants you to be afraid – very afraid!
AnnieW @ 16
A republican voting friend of mine, who was actually sane enough to decide bush was bad news and vote for Kerry in 2004, recently voiced the same opinion. (Recently = Tuesday)
But you have have to look at the subversion of the Constitution under bush, and look at Rudy’s record in NYC, and realize one thing.
Want to see The End of our republic (a republic, if you can keep it, as Ben Franklin said)?
Two Words: President Giuliani.
Siun @ 20
Really, with the material we get handed, it’s hard not to! ;-)
Rudy, Hillary, Freddy, Mudcat, Obama, Rahm, Iraq, Iran and on and on. It’s all so very distressing.
Gore.
OFF TOPIC,
I just posted a my prediction about Bush (or Rove) pardoning Libby. Also borrowed Citizen Jane’s acrostic poem about Cheney.
Fire Extinguisher, Stat! If Watertiger gets any hotter, she’ll spontaneously combust!!! Wouldn’t be a pretty picture!!! *g*
Hey, waitaminute! Why slap down Werner Erhard? Just because a nation’s lonely eyes looked to him???
I did the est scene in Houston back in the early 1980s, because my therapist recommended it, my sister thought it sounded interesting, and everyone else I talked to who had taken the “training” recommended it. {Geez, hadn’t thought about est in years!}
And it worked as my therapist intended. It opened my mind, as they say, in a Zen kinda way. And I don’t see ANY resemblance to Ghouliani.
But I agree with your depiction of Ghouliani. He’s cut from the same cloth as George Bush.
A Little Fuhrer.

Al! Thank you–that one had me literally LOL. I was chuckling at the term kitty pidgin (ex-language major, me) then got here:
Thx for the reminder – I haven’t bookmarked Cute Overload and that other site that uses kitty pidgin since my last re-install. (still giggling)
Pach gets all the credit, pwright. I just made the load easier on the FDL server, I hope.
I had just read about Sandy Berger in Wikipedia. I would also add that Sandy Berger didn’t commit treason.
The gooper candidates are lyin sacks of shit. They have to be in order to win the primary- they have to pretend that they share a world view with idiots who believe that the world was created just a few years before they were born and that he created blacks, gays, and women in order to make slaves out of em.
It’s real hard to keep a straight face if yer a gooper candidate for pres.
from a story in the nytimes in the days leading up to the 2000 world series between the mets and yankees:
“The mascot for the Mets wears a Mets uniform and has an oversized head; his name is Mister Met. The mascot for the Yankees wears a Yankees warm-up jacket and has a somewhat smaller head; his name is Mister Giuliani.”
allan_in_upstate @ 23
Ewww! gotta wash out my eyes….
The dem candidates are lyin sacks of shit too of course- but it’s higher quality shit- like horse versus chicken.

Wait a minute– Did I say that right?

OT but imho important: Under my .SIG you’ll find a pointer to what I hope will be a productive conversation about what tools FDL has adopted, and might adopt in the near-term, to add simultaneous-multi-topic-style functions to this highly successful blog.
Anent this topic, Suzanne and I had what I thought was a very interesting discussion last evening (EDST), in the comments in this very blog. If you’re interested in reading that exchange of views, you are cordially invited to search for it! *grinz*
I hope you’ll participate. I’m real happy that raven has joined in “over there.” :)
OBTW, whaddayathink of THIS? If you like, pls talk about it “over there.”
I’ll be re-posting this invitation in later blogposts.
Horse shit is widely regarded as the best for growing purposes- of course the chinese use commie shit in their rice fields- and that seems to work well too.
Thanks Bob. I missed y’all. We had NO INTERNET CONNECTION at the beach, but I did survive. Didn’t even kill anyone from the stress. :) Home in time for basketball.

I’m sorry. This is the third time in a week I’ve made mistakes with letters. The last time I read Hamburg as Harrisburg. I think it’s time I admit I’m getting old and either choose a bigger font on my screen or use the magnifying glasses regularly.

Parallel world. Same experience. If you want totalitarianism and a complete police state, vote Ghouliani, just give me time to get out of the country.
Covert!!!! ;>
tejanarusa — if you click on my website you can leave a comment and it will give me your email add and i will give that to aunt betsy. ok? she has all the central texas people but the hall place is too expensive so they found a park for a picnic instead.
Maybe we can convince Paris H. to help “Make him go away Mom, it’s not fair”…since she’s had a taste of that life.

Maybe its just as well. Sand in a keyboard is not good. (g)
Watching the Spurs demolish the Cavs, or playing?
Bob in HI
actually, with his relentlessly poor judgments and actions — siting the emergency center in the tower; naming kerik police commissioner, backing him for training iraqis and dhs secretary; his entire public spectacle of serial cheating on his wife — you would think that giuliani would be radioactive as a serious candidate.
LS @ 50
Yes, but will Scooter be afraid to eat because he is worried about someone taking a photo of him on the toilet like Paris.
Bob Schacht @ 53
My brother is a Spurs fan. We are watching on TV.
I will keep America on offense in the Terrorists’ War on Us.
As I said over at TPM, shouldn’t that be “I will keep America on offense against the Terrorists’ War on Us”?
Unless you’re planning to be on the side of the terrorists, that is.
If he’s going to try to rewrite the terminology to appeal even more to the lizard brains, It would be a good idea to actually think it through.
pwrlght @ 55
Only if he thinks the person taking the picture realizes that Valerie Plame was a Covert CIA agent and Sandy Berger pleaded guilty. Other than that, he might be afraid the photographer is a bear.
Cassie – check your website for my comment/addy. Thx.
dmg @ 54
I think that’s why you see the Rovians and their fellow travelers in the corporate media
whoringsinging the praises of handsome, virile, and quite manly Fred Thompson.Nice rosetta stone you got there, watertiger. Should come in handy as the doublespeak cranks up.
The thought of seeing a photo of lil’ Scooter on the john is enough, I now need cranial clorox.
LS @ 58
hahahahahahahahahaha
LS, you’re still making me laugh.
I’m so proud to have been reading FDL long enough to get even the bear reference. (w/o FDL I’d never have known about Scooter’s novel)
Shadowstalker @ 62
Well it is better than seeing a photo of Rove on the toilet.
ifthethunderdontgetya @ 60
ah yes, he who works the pole.
“Only if he thinks the person taking the picture realizes that Valerie Plame was a Covert CIA agent and Sandy Berger pleaded guilty. Other than that, he might be afraid the photographer is a bear.”
Never be afraid to attack a traitor! Heh heh.
“# I will impose accountability on Washington.
I will appoint Bernie Kerik “Accountability Czar” (after I pardon him, of course)….”
That cracks me up.

pwrlght @ 65
Thanks a lot for that image. Now I have to get a brain transplant.
I give that mofo rhetorical props. His 12 points is designed to evoke 12 steps. Rudy’s cure for … terrah, the wimpification of the American male, American whinyness, (fill in the blanks). It’s smart. Writing as a New Yorker who remember Rudy from the perp walks timed for the evening news and the cop riot Rudy instigated, he’s sly, quick, and unprincipled. But he’s far from invincible. He got a mean, hairtrigger temper. And he never managed to get his meglomania under control; it just bubbles up to the surface.
kirk murphy @ 18
If y’all are gonna keep making these horrible vile gross images in my head, I’m gonna have to go do something constructive!

Okay, that’s it….I’m going back to work now.

AWAITING YOUR POSITIVE REPLY,
CRUELLAMARYIf Ghouliani becomes the Repub nominee, do we all have to euthanize our animals if he doesn’t like them????
This man only understands one kind of pet, and he usually divorces his wife after awhile and marries it.
Not getting the hange of this. my clever coment disappeared. Ah well, as always an excellent site to visit. take care all.
I always try to bury my bias and to see how middle-of-the-roaders and right wingers view the statements of the repubs. But, I think this is one scary list. No mention of our constitutional rights, he just about tells you he’s going to abolish the Dept. of Education, he’s going to stay on the offensive (via more wars?)against terrorists, we’ll have a national ID card that we must have at all times to prove we’re citizens (or it’s off to Gitmo), no national healthcare (free market solutions, cuz that’s worked so well), more tax cuts for the wealthy and a Supreme Court filled with Alito clones.
How is this list being received by the repubs? To me, it proves that Rudy is one scary dude.
Ed, no fair
Could you repost?
I want to enjoy your comment :)
allan_in_upstate @ 75
We all can hear Mary shout (hell, she just has to be in the room), but the all caps is hard to read. Thanks!

are you suggesting that Guiliani is and esthole?
I couldn’t check my computer during the Libby hearing. Was Cruella there? How about her hubby? Any statements to the press?

My job here is done! :-)

I hope I’m not in the dog house…..
Republican candidates sure love their

Now will you be nervous the next time you write? Will it be hard to think it as good as this post?
LS @ 89
Heh. Judi needs a new hobby…
SnarKassandra, EVERY time makes me nervous.
Look at my eye twitching!
I still like Pelosi ‘07. She’s going to be at the Take Back America conference next week. I’m still trying to find out how much registration costs, if anyone has a clue. I haven’t been able to find anything on their site, and online registration is closed.

SnarKassandra @ 85
Alas, a mere fleeting whimsy, Missie, a celestial fantasy…!!! Impeachment this year is nothing but a pipe dream!!! 8-(
Watertiger, please pardon my OT. I can’t stand the thought of Ghouliani any longer. Makes me ill, but then so does this. Now that Fine and Jarrett are investigating Abu’s discussions with Monica before her testimony to the HJC, I wonder who she thinks will be contributing to her legal defense fund?
anyone know a right wing website where rudy’s list is being discussed? I’d love to see the comments.
solai @ 99
Egads, the thought of that makes my stomach turn.
In honor of Scooter’s reclassification to prison bound, I’ve created a new dive, named the Scooter Lawyer Blue, a reverse facing, double twisting, with one and a half somersaults in the upside down (and certainly not free) position, while wearing handcuffs and leg irons, handcuff key tucked between my lips and a double dog dare to the Bulgarian judge to give me a pardon.
g’evening everyone (waving to watertiger, snarktress extraordinare)
solai @ 99
I would love to see that too but they are probably to busy yelling that Sandy Berger didn’t go to jail and Armitage leaked first!
Loo Hoo. @ 98
Not when she was thrown under the Brinks Armored Car, making a daily scheduled pick/up and delivery of funds for Scooter’s legal fees!!! Bwhahaha… ;-)
Good evening, Fire pups -
Plez forgive the O/t but have been away from both the toobz & idiot box today until a few mins. ago:
Can anyone tell me if Keith O. showed up tonite? Will try my bestest to stay awake ’til midnite for rerun if answer is “Yes”. Otherwise, it’s way past crash & burn time. Tks much.
ls at 96 “I live the same life :}”
ok, good, then we bond and go make art, right?
represent those who can’t represent?
makes talk into something tangible?
right.
that’s what we do eventually. us artist types.
and in spite of my thinking it doesn’t matter, it does matter, and i know it does.
thank you for your comments in the last thread.
thanks.
Waccamaw, Allison Stewart tonight no KO
Waccamaw @ 104
nope Alison tonight but she was good.
Perfect dive, Suzanne. Orange swimsuit?

but of course, LooHoo
Suzanne @ 101
A Ten, Ma Cheri!!! Psst… Can I borrow the cuffs when you’re done toweling off??? 8-)
Alison was really good. She’s getting her mojo!
CTuttle, we know what to get you for your birthday in Denver next year ;)
Suzanne @ 106
I think she’s an excellent sub for KO. Watch her….she’s very good.

But seriously, is there a right wing site similar to this? Anyone know?
dmac 106, IMHO there are no rules in art. That is the beauty of it.

Even with KO out Countdown is still getting killer ratings. That speaks volumes for the brand and KO himself ; )

You mean where people gather and discuss vs. blather approved talking points?
Ta, Suzanne & pwright -
That settles it; bed it is.
Startin’ to get reeeeeeaaaaaaal cranky w/o daily dose of KO. Means he’s probably a no-show for Friday as well. ;-(
solai,
i’d check The Corner first. Maybe the Pantload weighed in.
From what I understand, either LGF or Freeperville was down for repairs.
Suzanne @ 114
Persistence usually pays… :P
Hi everyone, pardon the OT but I just thought of this: someone in another thread this evening was commenting on how much some of the Rove underlings resemble Rove himself, so how about this — Rovelets
solai @ 116
solai, in a quantum universe, anything is possible… :)
but that seems about as likely as my cats’ opening a whale sanctuary.

good night to all
support your local real artist.thanks to all who fed me in that way.
wish i could stay up for late nite, but my eyelids start to fall about 10:30……i always read it in the morning, and always follow all of the links. just so you know, just like a great fdler. that’s what we do.
suzanne. great entrance. and great talking with you the other night.
and suzanne-any way of getting back the ‘recent posts’ bar of fdl? it really helped out when catching up on threads.
nite all, love one another.
Hey oddmommy :-) Yes, that was quite a nice coincidence, and most enjoyable too!
dmac, i’ll ask the tech crew. i’ve missed it too. sleep well.
sleep well, dmac
hope the muses visit
Here is something novel. They are having a “camping trip” on the space shuttle. Okaaaayyy…How do you do that????
I’m watching NASA TV fascinating to watch them floating around, hair sticking straight up in the air…fabulous views….amazing stuff.
ok. i think rudy is a fascist and his employment of alleged child rapist placa is a national disgrace. BUT dinkins wasnt a bad mayor because he was black. he wasnt even a bad mayor- he was THE WORST MAYOR in my lifetime.
He didnt institute “slow but steady” anything. he was a panderer.
guiliani is a peice of crap, i know, but lets be real here. ny was safer when he was here, and in my opinion, LESS of a police state than under bloomberg,
Night, all. It’s been a good day here at the Lake.
Oh, man. Went to little green footballs. Had never been there before. Nothing about Rudy. The whole site seems to be dedicated to warning us of the danger of Muslims. Gonna check some more, but it’s a dirty job.
LS @ 125
this brings up a question that has interested me for a while….do folks actually go in and argue with these people in those places? And if so……do they call YOU trolls?
Jest trying to understand how the other half lives…..
LoudounLib @ 124
Personally, I’d go with turdlets.
g’nite tejanarusa -
sweet dreams!
LS, I miss the NASA channel — my cable system doesn’t have it, at least on my tier. That is some good stuff.
SnarKassandra @ 45
The word ‘kill’ is way too often used in a casual way in the US.
Why do they always want to be offensive? Maybe they are, deep down, just afraid?
TJ @138, that’s even better ;-)
solai, you’re awfully brave! Be safe!
Suzanne @ 110
WHy orange???
They are camping out in a module with an oxygen change, to move nitrogen from their bloodstreams, so they don’t get the bends…great, sounds like a great night out in space…eeee ghadds……
I hope they have fun! They are taking the “on board guitar” too!
They are going to have a party!!!
They need some fun, they are really brave people.
LS @ 133
I think they can’t roast any marshmellows, but I bet they can have sleeping bags and ghost stories. No wild animals.
solai @ 117
Ask TRex, he braves the bubbling cauldron.
Loo Hoo. @ 147
I bet there is NOTHING like this anywhere! FDL is special.
SnarKassandra @ 146
I was thinking the same thing! They must have some goodies! The fact that someone unpacked a guitar to play is interesting! I wonder what it sounds like up there??? Ghost stories….Yes!!!
mulligatawny @ 140
Good Ms. SnarKassandra, please forgive my ignorance (lifelong east coaster)…….but what are beaches like in Texas? Assume they are on the Gulf Coast…??
Orange as in prison jumpsuit, Cassie. Is what the feds use, iirc.

11. I will not vote for you.
12. I will not vote for you.
oddmommy @ 150
The beaches are a lot of fun. There’s shops and stuff nearby. Yes, on the gulf coast. There’s hotels across from the beach. Some have good sand and others are mostly rock. Depends if you want to read a book and lie out, or if you have a boat or something. What is it like on the east coast?
Loo Hoo. @ 146
That depends on your definition of “similar”. There are places like “Powerline” where they purport to be doing the ReichWing version of what we do, but everything they do is dictated to them by the White House and the GOP. They basically just write up whatever Karl faxes them each morning.
Righties are not known for their original and innovative thinking.
Works for me, EDP, and I believe others will follow your 12 step program.
SnarKassandra @ 144
The color of prison jumpsuits!

well, there are many different varieties of beach experiences to be had on the Atlantic…..but the most beloved of my heart are the southern parts of the NC Outer Banks, ie., Hatteras Island and Ocracoke……..which in fact won this distinction recently:

dmac,
I left you a note in the last thread. Hope you wake up feeling a little better.
O/T But I wanted to say Media Matters has info on Bill O’Reilly at http://mediamatters.org/items/200706130006
O’Reilly really did say “But on my program, I don’t do a lot of Iraq reporting because we don’t know what’s happening. We can’t find out.”
Just the most incredible thing I have ever heard.
The only other news I’ve seen today that even approaches Rudy’s antics is the one about the fired exec from Wellpoint who has one ex-wife, one in the process of becoming an ex, and several mistresses, including two he was living with in different cities, each of whom thought she was going to be the next wife.
His version of the story is about as likely as Rudy being a good preznit. (It was in today’s LA Times business section.)

Dude did you have to?!?
I first thought when he announced his “12 Commitments”, he was either going into rehab, or he was admitting to having had 12 wives…
I’m not a real sophisticate here.I have a real talent for operator error. Hope the change I made is the correct one.
Later.

Free Republic is where I hang out. And no, we don’t take marching orders from Karl Rove.

Good one, LS…
You remind me of my favourite Aussie wine (lindemann’s) “subtle like a brickbat”!
