http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/15/57336.aspx Someone please just let us know when Rudy Giuliani plans to make his actual announcement speech, because he's already announced his candidacy a handful of times.  On CNN last night: "Yes, I'm running, sure."  In California earlier this week:en-USCommunityServer 2.0 (Build: 60608.1)http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/15/57336.aspx#57375Thu, 15 Feb 2007 15:15:22 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:57375Rufus Gibbons, Kennett, Mo.Rudy (if he becomes president I will learn to spell his last name) will probably make an official announcement soon, he is probably waiting until the God squad lovefest is over he would probably be stoned to death as an infidel if he showed up there.http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/15/57336.aspx#57392Thu, 15 Feb 2007 15:43:30 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:57392Robert Catalano, Salem, ORI would like to know who is stupid enough to pay $100 thousand to hear him speak. For that much money you could probably get somebody who actually has something to say. http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/15/57336.aspx#57426Thu, 15 Feb 2007 16:16:19 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:57426kathleen, glastonbury ctare we going to mention the "hero of 911" pre-911 failure to assure police and firefighters had radios that could actually communicate? are we going to talk about how he signed off on the "safe air" in lower manhattan that inexplicably made those heroes who survived the initial carnage deathly ill? probably not--we do love our framing.http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/15/57336.aspx#57475Thu, 15 Feb 2007 17:11:13 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:57475JIrby, Colorado Springs, CoSupposing for some unfathomable reason the Bush Administration, in fact, the entire Redneck Mafia, saw fit to stop lying and start telling the truth? Beginning instantly. No grace period. One scenario where this could be necessary would be if aliens from the distant Lyra constellation took over the country, but wanted to keep the established government in place, though this government would be required to stop with the monkey business. Yes, to stop lying and telling the truth, but under the following conditions: They would not be allowed to let on to the masses they had ever been lying, and the masses wouldn't be allowed to know about the alien takeover. The logistics of trying to unscramble that one trillion crates of eggs would be prohibitive in the extreme. In fact, there's only one organization in the country that is even now prepared to slog through that hellacious morass of logistics. Can you name it? I've been reading through lots of posts written by people of brilliance on this blog. Maybe one of them could help us with the name of that outfit. NO? Wow, huh? Okay, how does People Magazine strike you? Got it yet? Once a year, People Magazine has to send millions of women to all parts of the globe to have sex with every last man on the planet to determine who will be the world's sexiest man of that year. That means more than one woman would have to have sex with each man. You don't take a poll on the president's job rating by asking one person. This has to work the same. And in each country, sometimes each tribe, the age requirement and other concerns regarding what a man is has to be ascertained. By Zeus, I say let's hear it for People Magazine! It chokes me up every time I think about it. But I still have four questions: 1. Why is the world's sexiest always an American celebrity? 2. Who elected Rudy Giuliani as America's mayor? 3. Where in bleepin blue blazes do they get all those liberated women? 4. where were they hiding when I was out running around living off the land?http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/15/57336.aspx#57527Thu, 15 Feb 2007 18:18:03 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:57527Melba Isom, White Bluff, TNRudy,Rudy,Rudy - when will you learn, the conservative south will never elect you even if you somehow get the nomination - it is just not in the nature of all of those Church of Christ, Church of God or Baptist preachers to stand in the pulpit and endorse someone who believes it is ok to be married and engaged at the same time! LOL - there goes the morals of the repugnant party for you, they were always like that, but we can thank Rudy for bringing them to the forfront of the 2008 election.http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/15/57336.aspx#57555Thu, 15 Feb 2007 18:50:34 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:57555Mel, IllinoisWhy is it that a constitutional law professor/senator doesn't have enough "experience" to be president but a philandering mayor does? http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/15/57336.aspx#57667Thu, 15 Feb 2007 21:27:19 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:57667Olivia, Peoria, Ill.LOL about the questions at the end of JIrby's post. Here are my answers: 1.) The fix is in. 2.) The staff of People Magazine, of course. 3.) They're all undocumented extra-terrestrial sex workers who sneaked into this country from an Earthlike planet in a parallel universe. 4.) Their home universe. http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/15/57336.aspx#57722Thu, 15 Feb 2007 22:17:05 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:57722JIrby, Colorado Springs, CoThanks, Olivia.
