Bush's gain is Rudy Giuliani's loss. Former Iowa GOP Rep. Jim Nussle's decision to accept Bush's appointment as Budget Dir. means Giuliani loses his main Iowa sherpa. Nussle was always a good answer to the question: "Who's handling</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>CommunityServer 2.0 (Build: 60608.1)</generator><item><title>Nussle Fallout For '08</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/19/229986.aspx#230029</link><pubDate>Tue, 19 Jun 2007 19:46:19 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:230029</guid><dc:creator>Terry, Disabled Vet, Des Moines, IA</dc:creator><description>Good ridens for this bonehead</description></item><item><title>Nussle Fallout For '08</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/19/229986.aspx#230077</link><pubDate>Tue, 19 Jun 2007 20:19:47 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:230077</guid><dc:creator>John Stevens, Iowa City, Iowa</dc:creator><description>Chuck,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As an Iowan, the people of Iowa firmly rejected Jim Nussle as Governor. As someone who will support a Republican in '08, Rudy signing Nussle up was an indication of Rudy being out of touch with Iowa.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The smartest thing Rudy has done in Iowa was pull out of the straw poll. If he chooses to compete in Iowa, he will finish 3rd at best. Nussle's departure is even more reasoning for Rudy to completely fore-go Iowa.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I hope Rudy chooses to compete in Iowa if for no other reason so that Iowa can show the rest of the country the damage he would do to our country both at home and abroad. (No matter what the New York media &amp;amp; Fox News thinks of him.)</description></item><item><title>Nussle Fallout For '08</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/19/229986.aspx#230078</link><pubDate>Tue, 19 Jun 2007 20:19:58 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:230078</guid><dc:creator>Steve Turner Cedar Falls Iowa</dc:creator><description>Hey Chuck, you make it sound like when the Tibetans see a clunky, doofus westerner, they say &amp;quot;Look, A Hawkeye...hahaha&amp;quot;. &amp;nbsp;Sherpas are born-handlers, guiding oxygen-starved people up mountains they don't belong in. &amp;nbsp;Nussle proved he needed a Sherpa, early on, and in doing so, proved to not be Sherpa-material, himself. &amp;nbsp;Giuliani might need a Sherpa, but Nussle will always need one.</description></item><item><title>Nussle Fallout For '08</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/19/229986.aspx#230174</link><pubDate>Tue, 19 Jun 2007 21:17:07 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:230174</guid><dc:creator>Terry, Disabled Vet, Des Moines, IA</dc:creator><description>What do you call it when the shrub stops quickly? &amp;nbsp;A Nussle up the wazoo</description></item><item><title>Nussle Fallout For '08</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/19/229986.aspx#230419</link><pubDate>Wed, 20 Jun 2007 02:19:16 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:230419</guid><dc:creator>Dez Moynes, Waterloo, IA</dc:creator><description>Terry, everyone can detect that you are disabled and probably have been so since you were imperfectly conceived by a monkey and a marmot. &amp;nbsp;Put some grease on your mental wheelchair and race for the end of the pier. &amp;nbsp;Bon voyage.</description></item><item><title>Nussle Fallout For '08</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/19/229986.aspx#230627</link><pubDate>Wed, 20 Jun 2007 13:52:09 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:230627</guid><dc:creator>Terry, Disabled Vet, Des Moines, IA</dc:creator><description>Dez Moynes, Waterloo, IA, obviously you must fit in the Nussle up the wazoo category. &amp;nbsp;Don't follow to closely because you just might taste what's up the wazoo. &amp;nbsp;By the way you must be FUBAR as well. &amp;nbsp;In case you don't know what that means since you must be full of crap it means F@cked Up Beyond All Recognition.</description></item></channel></rss>
