I’d trust Rudy or McCain. Mitt can run the Olympics.

The Corner at NRO has video of Fred responding to the assassination.

I can’t wait to hear Hillary’s spin on this.

I can’t wait to hear Hillary’s spin on this.

I saw a clip of her speaking about it on Fox News this morning. Her butt looked nine feet wide.

Sir Mix-a-Lot was an idiot.

From the Clinton web site:

Statement of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton on the Death of Benazir Bhutto

“I am profoundly saddened and outraged by the assassination of Benazir Bhutto, a leader of tremendous political and personal courage. I came to know Mrs. Bhutto over many years, during her tenures as Prime Minister and during her years in exile. Mrs. Bhutto’s concern for her country, and her family, propelled her to risk her life on behalf of the Pakistani people. She returned to Pakistan to fight for democracy despite threats and previous attempts on her life and now she has made the ultimate sacrifice. Her death is a tragedy for her country and a terrible reminder of the work that remains to bring peace, stability, and hope to regions of the globe too often paralyzed by fear, hatred, and violence.

“Let us pray that her legacy will be a brighter, more hopeful future for the people she loved and the country she served. My family and I extend our condolences and deepest sympathies to the victims and their families and to the people of Pakistan.”

Outraged… at who? Some unknow person of an unknown religion who did this for unknown reasons?

Lets compare and contrast.

“The United States strongly condemns this cowardly act by murderous extremists who are trying to undermine Pakistan’s democracy,” said Bush,

Giuliani was the only one who responded off-the-cuff and didn’t just spit out a pre-canned speech. That’s a great leadership quality right there.

Get your DVRs rolling; Edwards is claiming he spoke with Musharraf, and he’ll be speaking soon.

DVR-worthy moment; Ron Paul-Nut on Fox sticking his head in the sand.

Precanned? Mitt’s response might seem ‘precanned’ t because it was full of facts and had intricate details. That is a glimpse inside the brilliant mind of Ronmey. He can think on his feet. Romney really showed his leadership skills in time of crisis. Lets be honest here.

I like Guiliani a lot, but how can you say the other responses were “pre-canned”? Wouldn’t that require knowing this was going to happen in advance?
