P.S. 9-11, 9-11, 9-11.
Haha.

That was brilliant!
Go Fred!

Absolutely
Valiant on December 3, 2007 at 9:05 AM
So, 9-11 is an accepted comedy punchline now? The rest of the video is pretty funny. I found the last few seconds repugnant. And don’t tell me it’s only making fun of Rudy. It’s repulsive that any non-Truther would accept 9-11 as a throw away laugh line.
Sugar Land on December 3, 2007 at 9:09 AM
I know what you mean, but I think the joke was about Rudy’s self proclaimed “ownership” and over use of the attack.
At least some would say.
TheSitRep on December 3, 2007 at 9:15 AM
Wow, Rudy had police walk his mistress’s dogs!
Wasn’t there some other guy, I former president I believe, who had state police pick up and deliver his whores to the Governor’s Mansion?
Don’t sweat it Rudy, it’s become a badge of honor.
Just ask the Democrats.

That was a funny video save, of course, the 9.11 pic at the end.
Spirit of 1776 on December 3, 2007 at 9:25 AM
Ouch…thats going to leave a mark…Rudy is starting to look an awful lot like Bill Clinton…
doriangrey on December 3, 2007 at 9:34 AM
That went quite well with my cup-o-joe.
Weight of Glory on December 3, 2007 at 9:35 AM
The 9-11 part was way out of line as Rudy has never used 9-11 in any way.
Not politically.
Not financially.
No way, no how.
Not Rudy.

Funny stuff…
Looks like Rudy is going to corner the votes of all American mistresses…
dont laugh, there are more of them than you think !!!

Dogpile on the rabbit, amirite?
Vincenzo on December 3, 2007 at 9:45 AM
Hmmm. When Chuck sees this…..
captivated_dem on December 3, 2007 at 9:52 AM
LOL
AlexB on December 3, 2007 at 10:15 AM
Cool! Maybe he too will get elected twice.
docob on December 3, 2007 at 10:21 AM
It’s funny because it’s true.
samuelrylander on December 3, 2007 at 10:36 AM
Seriously think you can find a better target…
“When campaigning for president did Thomas Jefferson not follow the rules as layed down in the constitution by using earmarks to gain votes in his state ?
Did George Washington seriously use the federal postal service to collect campaign contributions ?
Did James Madison cheat and use the media to attack his political foes illegally ?
Yet for all his talk of following the Constitution Dr Ron Paul does things that no founder of the Constitution has ever done !
This message is not brought to you by the Ron Paul for President campaign..
November 5th November 5th November 5th !

When most of our “leaders” had their heads up their arses or were wetting their pants in the immediate aftermath of 9-11, Rudy became the leader of the country. Pull out every piece of dirt you can and air it… it doesn’t change the fact that when the shinola hit the fan, Rudy was what the country needed, a leader in a time of crisis. Heaven help us that his campaign thinks its a good idea to hang their hat on this. People that don’t like Rudy are trying to turn 9-11 mentions into a punch line. Whatever.
Sugar Land on December 3, 2007 at 10:58 AM
People who don’t like Rudy try to discount 9/11 because he pwned that day. It’s like the leftards who say that “Do you want to win in Iraq/WoT?” isn’t a fair question because they know they lose the argument.
BTW, the Dallas Cowboys have always been the crappiest team of all time. Please note that bringing up all those Super Bowl wins is both stupid and unfair.
MikeZero on December 3, 2007 at 11:13 AM
Rudy has turned himself and his endless harping on his role on 9/11 into a punchline. He just keeps patting himself on the back.
Bill C on December 3, 2007 at 11:42 AM
It’d be more funny if we had someone better in the wings to win the nomination :/
Dash on December 3, 2007 at 11:43 AM
Hmmm… you may feel that way… but don’t try to speak for the entire country.
Rudi has never been MY leader… I already knew way too much about him…
He got his 15 minutes on 9/11, and is now trying to use that to catapult into the White House…
His First Responders HATE HIM! He did NOTHING to secure NYC prior to 9/11, even after the warning of the FIRST WTC bomb. First Responders still did not have proper communications… and are still having problems getting the government to help them with the health problems they got while responding…
Rudi talks tough… but we need a LOT more than talk.
Romeo13 on December 3, 2007 at 11:55 AM
Please don’t make me vomit. Rudy ran around finding cameras and giving speeches. That’s all he did after 9/11. He gave motivating speeches. If this qualifies a person to become President of the United States in your mind, then vote for Anthony Robbins.
There are many so-called conservatives who hang out on HotAir who are the most hypocritical bunch I’ve ever seen. They spend years whining and screaming about Bill Clinton and the corruption of the liberals, and now we see them consistently campaigning and defending the likes of Rudy Giuliani. To these people, corruption is only a bad thing when it’s the liberals?
It’s bad enough that we have people who call themselves conservatives encouraging people to vote for the worst of all RINOS, but it nauseating to see the same people defending corruption.
I hope I never see Sugar Land posting a single negative comment regarding ANY person guilty of corruption.

Once you go over to the Lib dark side. You can’t just come back one day. You have to loose a hand…or summin.
ronsfi on December 3, 2007 at 1:27 PM
What they said, only more of it.
MB4 on December 3, 2007 at 2:12 PM
Remember Rudie supporters: we vote on Wednesday next November.

My name is Lee Stranahan and I made the Question Of Security video. Thanks for the nice comments about it.
I wanted to address the ’911 911 911′ bit at the end. I almost left it out of the video, because I knew it ran the risk of ruining it for people. There’s nothing funny about 911.
However – there is something funny yet not at funny about the way Rudy uses it. Every candidate mentions 911 at some point, but Rudy is well known for totally overdoing it. So – in doing a video that’s supposed to a parody of Rudy’s spin style, I decided to leave it in. I’m working on another video right now, and I redo the same basic joke but in a couple of totally different ways. The joke isn’t 911 – it’s how Rudy mentions 911, all the time, appropriate or not. And that Rudy spent more time at baseball games than at Ground Zero, it’s a grim joke at that.
I respect and understand different people’s reactions, but I thought I’d at least get my thoughts.
Stranahan on December 3, 2007 at 4:07 PM
I don’t think everyone was ‘offended’ (and most people know why I put that in quotes). If anything if goes to show how gruesome it is for him to overuse 9-11.

It’s bad enough that we have people who call themselves conservatives encouraging people to vote for the worst of all RINOS, but it nauseating to see the same people defending corruption.It’s funny how worked up a tool can get and miss the point. Who the hell is defending corruption? I’m defending the man’s right to use one of the great examples of crisis leadership of the past 50 years to explain why he thinks he is fit for the presidency. And as for the First Responders “hating” him, that has as much to do with the fact that Rudy finally gave the okay to remove the mountains of rubble from the site when others would still have that smoldering heap sitting there today. I’m not saying they shouldn’t have been passionate about wanting to recover remains forever, but a decision had to be made. When they’re made, some people get pissed off. The fact that that spot still sits empty today in an indictment on many others, including the quintessential RINO (although he has since at least ended the charade) Bloomberg.
Sugar Land on December 3, 2007 at 5:31 PM
I am, but you should mention that IA is NSFW link, probably…I’m the only Lee Stranahan I know of…
Stranahan on December 3, 2007 at 5:59 PM
You are. Just like most Rudy supporters, you spend your days ranting and raving about other candidates being corrupt, spending hours posting the details on blogs in an attempt to support your candidate. But then when your own candidate is found to be guilty of the same (or worse), you BLOW IT OFF and ramble on about why we should ignore it.
An honest man would back off, have concerns that they may have made a mistake, and re-evaluate whether or not they want to support a corrupt candidate to lead this country.
An honest man would not completely ignore the entire scandal, while choosing instead to display anger over the mention of 9/11 in the last two seconds of the video.
It’s funny how worked up a tool can get … when someone speaks the truth.
