I couldn’t let the day end without a quick note on the quote of the day. It’s so funny.
Barack Obama says he’s willing to meet with enemies of the Bush Administration. Good Lord, isn’t that about half the free world and most of everyone else? Anyway, Obama said he’d meet with Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, and even Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the bearded guy running Iran. Obama justified such action and referenced President Ronald Reagan who negotiated with Soviet leaders during the cold war.
So, Giuliani goes on television at the Republican Jewish Coalition (all four of them were there but you didn’t see them on camera) and says to Obama, “I say this most respectfully… you’re not Ronald Reagan.”
Well, duh? What a cheap shot. It’s especially cheap considering that Rudy’s law firm received a gazillion dollars from Hugo Chavez’s oil company. Apparently it’s acceptable to take Chavez’s money but not talk to him. How gauche is that?
The problem here is that Obama is just sooooo goody-goody that he won’t say anything back to Giuliani and that’s why he’s groveling for money these days. Who wants to give money to a presidential candidate who won’t be tough?
If Giuliani said that to me, which he wouldn’t dare, I would have fired back, “I guess it’s fine for you to take Chavez’s money but not talk to the guy. Not only do you look like Dwight Eisenhower, you act like him, too.”
New Yorkers love a good fist fight. Rudy can beat up on a rich skinny black kid, but lets see him take a shot at a woman.
