Mitt Romney Is Now A Genius

Just when I thought Mitt Romeny had all but guaranteed himself a spot on the Gee Oh Pee 2008 ticket by appearing to be the biggest, stupidest bullshitter on God's green Earth, Rudy comes roaring back!

(AP) Presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani on Sunday continued calling on Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton to denounce a liberal group's advertisement and apologize for what he calls her disrespectful treatment of a general…

Giuliani, during a pre-race tour of the pits at New Hampshire International Speedway, told reporters that Clinton has shown weakness in not rebuking MoveOn's full-page newspaper ad last week, which criticized Gen. David Petraeus, the U.S. commander in Iraq.

"What she did was just plain wrong," Giuliani told reporters before the NASCAR-Nextel Cup-Sylvania 300. "It was wrong for her to attack the integrity of a commanding general in a time of war…"

"I know that MoveOn.org contributes hundreds of millions of dollars to Democratic campaigns. But it's the way in which they contribute it, that's really the offensive part. They contribute it, by and large, doing character assassination on Republican politicians and they get away with it," Giuliani said. "But they should not be allowed to get away with it when they try to do character assassination on an American general who is putting his life at risk to protect America…"

Giuliani said he's not dragging the campaign into the gutter, merely defending Petraeus' honor.

"I didn't attack an American general. I am raising a point about an American politician, not about an American general," said Giuliani, who attended his second NASCAR event since joining the presidential race.

America's Sweetheart Rudy Guiliani: Defender of Petraeus's Honor And Longtime NASCAR Race Fan

Good old Rudy! Nothing offends him more than a disgusting smear on the honor and integrity and service of an American soldier who puts his life on the line in a time of war.

And Rudy is quick to denounce anyone who does something so disgusting. Like, in 2004:

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Delegates to the Republican National Convention found a new way to take a jab at Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry's Vietnam service record: by sporting adhesive bandages with small purple hearts on them...

Kerry was a decorated Navy officer in Vietnam who became a prominent antiwar activist upon his return home. A group calling itself "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth" has accused Kerry of lying to win combat decorations in Vietnam, including the Bronze Star and the Purple Heart.

CNN forgot his Silver Star.

Regardless, Rudy was swift in his denunciation of those delegates who attacked not only honor of a highly decorated soldier but belittled the symbol--the Purple Heart--of our nation's gratitude for a soldier's sacrifice. Here's what Rudy told those people!

This is the first Republican convention ever held here in New York City.

I've never seen so many Republicans in New York City. It's great.

I finally feel at home.

Rudy's People Making Him Finally Feel At Home

Let's not forget that the people mocking Kerry's service as well as the Purple Heart, itself, were not some shadowy "527" group, they were the delegates to the Republican National Convention.

And Rudy didn't denounce any of them.

Purple Heart Salad: Home Cookin' To Rudy Guiliani!

Nor did he denounce Michelle Malkin for suggesting on Tee Vee that John Kerry actually shot himself. Nor did he denounce the many Republicans who likewise suggested in print and on Tee Vee that John Kerry cowardly shot a man in the back, or that John Kerry only served so that he could one day run for President.

Nor did Rudy ever call on Bush to denounce the sleazy, well coordinated Gee Oh Pee attacks on Kerry's honor and his service in a time of war. Kerry did. But, of course, Bush refused.

Kerry has called on President Bush to denounce the swift boat veterans' ads. Bush has responded by calling for an end to all attack ads by independent groups but has not specifically criticized the anti-Kerry commercials.

Purple Heart Waffles With A Side Of Treason--That's The Way Rudy Starts His Day!

Nope. Rudy didn't do any of that. In fact, in front of crowd of Gee Oh Pee delegates sporting Purple Heart bandaids, how did Rudy characterize an AWOL Air National Guardsman who refused to denounce disgusting attacks on the integrity and honor of an American soldier who put his life at risk during a time of war?

At the time, we believed that we would be attacked many more times that day and in the days that followed. Without really thinking, based on just emotion, spontaneous, I grabbed the arm of then-Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik, and I said to him, "Bernie, thank God George Bush is our president."

I say it again tonight. I say it again tonight:

Thank God that George Bush is our president, and thank God that Dick Cheney, a man with his experience and his knowledge and his strength and his background, is our vice president.

He thanked God that such a man was our President.

He thanked God for Dick Cheney, too.

When I'm wrong, I'm wrong. Rudy Guiliani is much, much stupider and far more full of shit than Mitt Romney.

There's no way he won't be the next Gee Oh Pee candidate for President of the Great United States.

Greenwald has picked Rudy too, but for other reasons; Glen says that Rudy is the most authoritarian winger of the whole crew, so he wins the "who is most macho" competition within the power worshipping GOP base. And God knows it is all about the macho with the mouthbreathers that are the GOP primary faithful.

I wonder how well all the photos of Rudy in drag or pantyhose are going to play in the deep south; kinda puts a dent in the macho factor.

Oh, some of our great Democratic advisors will counsel against using those pictures.
I think that fucking Shrum is a mole from the Republican't Party.
