AP reporter: 'Giuliani carries himself like he already occupies the Oval Office'

Oh, I want this egomaniacal, ARROGANT, 9-11 grave-dancing jerk-off and his Louis Vuitton-toting parasite to suffer a humiliating double-digit loss in Fla. so badly I can taste it...

http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5jL_MG7Sip6zFrUAFo92w0dLDR94QD8UAQFN80

This week, in Florida, it's Giuliani's turn for make-or-break voting.

<snip>

Giuliani also woke up at a Marriott hotel, though this one was a luxury version on the bay, the Tampa Marriott Waterside. Aides clicked through the swank lobby in heels and suits, running a spit-and-polish operation that rivals the professionalism of the Bush White House (more on this later). The press boarded its bus, entirely separated from the candidate's bus. In fact, there was no Giuliani sighting at all until nearly 90 minutes later at an Italian restaurant, when he breezed through the "clear passageway" his staff insisted on maintaining. Eleven hours and four events later, he hadn't interacted with his traveling press corps in any way.

In short, McCain acts like a candidate who cultivates everyone, voters and media alike. Giuliani carries himself like he already occupies the Oval Office.

<snip>

{b}Giuliani's team borrows much from President Bush's White House, including some former staff. There are lots of shouted orders about loading up on buses and exactly where to stand at events. There's a detailed schedule for the day, one that looks just like the ones handed out on Bush trips, and lots of secrecy about what's coming two or even one day hence.

1. Why in God's name does the writer think that comparing

Giuliani, in any way, to * , is going to impress anyone?

I can't wait for his going home speech either. He is truly disgusting, inside and out, imo.

7. I don't think the writer is trying to impress anyone on Giuliani's behalf.

Not at all.

I read the whole article and Giuliani comes off pretty badly to me. And it's consistent with what I know about him: an arrogant, psychotic jerk who was a hack politician, and still is.

The point of the article is to compare the campaign styles of McCain and Giuliani at times when their campaigns were faltering badly, and McCain comes off as the better campaigner and better candidate.

3. Oh, that picture! Looks like he's doing the "smelling your own breath" test

and the results are less favorable than his poll numbers.

5. Giuliani has a very strange gait when he walks

He hunches his shoulders over and walks on the very tips of his toes, causing his entire body to bounce up and down. I once visited a friend in a mental health facility and there were several people walking that way inside.

6. Oooh, the professionalism of the Bush White House

Catch me before I swoon!

:puke:

Oops, my mistake. I knew I was feeling something; I thought it was a swoon.

The good news for Rudy's campaign is that Old Fred has dropped out. Now, instead of finishing sixth, Rudy will finish fifth.
