Rudy's cable news trifecta

Posted: Friday, December 28, 2007 5:55 PM by Domenico Montanaro

From NBC's Andy Merten
If you need any indication Giuliani is trying to bounce back from weeks off the radar of the national media (save for a health scare that garnered a day worth of less-than-positive coverage), look only at the cable news trifectas he's pulled two days in a row. 
 
Last night, he sat down for interviews with all three major cable news networks, including one with MSNBC that aired this morning, and tonight, he's at it again -- with an interview on Hardball with Chris Matthews and one on CNBC, as well.
 
On these appearances, he's touting his "proportionate" state stategy, bracing for what will likely be a fourth- or fifth- place finish in Iowa next Thursday.  Speaking of his February 5th strategy today on Hardball, he said, "If we can convert those into victories, we got a nomination" and "that's when it's all going to get decided."

Notably, his media push comes on the heels of yesterday's assasination of former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, Giuliani is re-hitting the airwaves with his tough-on-terror message.

same old message "I am the hero of 9-11"He forgets it happened on his and George Bushs watch.
GOOD BYE RUDY!!!!!
HMT-MI  Why do they call it a "watch" when no one was watching at all.  Or were they? Rudy was on "watch" twice, he must need new glasses more often so he can "watch" better.  And who the hell voted for that ass wipe bush??
