Rudy Giuliani: We Had No Domestic Attacks Under [George W.] Bush

Yes, Giuliani really said that, seemingly forgetting about the whole 9/11/01 terrorist attacks including the attack on the city he was mayor of at the time and the shoe bomber that same year. Surprising given Giuliani's repeated non sequitur references to the 9/11 attacks in speeches for years after.

What color is the sky in Giuliani-land I wonder?

Here's Biden bagging on how Giuliani constructs a sentence:


And here's Rudy bringing it back to 9/11 when asked about Hillary Clinton getting choked up on the campaign trail during the 2008 primaries:


Other things that, according to Giuliani, probably happened or didn't happen during W. Bush's administration:
- There was a link between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda.
- The USA went to war in Iraq based on good intel.
- Colin Powell didn't lie to he UN about WMD's in Iraq.
- We found WMD's in Iraq.
- Giuliani won the GOP nomination in 2008 for president.
- We captured and/or killed Bin Laden.
- Cheney never shot anyone in the face.
- W. Bush took swift and effective action after Hurricane Katrina.
- The mission really was accomplished when W. Bush stood in front of the "Mission Accomplished" banner on that aircraft carrier.
- The economy didn't tank during W. Bush's administration.

And here's the thing, Giuliani isn't the first, and probably won't the last, GOP'er to claim there were no attacks during W.'s presidency. Remember, W.'s former White House press secretary Dana Perino and former Dick Cheney aide Mary Matlin have gone on record saying the same thing. Do they think if they say it often enough or loud enough or really, really really believe no attacks occurred during W.'s presidency then everyone will agree with them? They do know that people can remember and read, right?

Man oh man, I do love the smell of revisionist history in the morning.

Frivolous Giuliani Golf Lawsuit Booted Out of Court

There's been many an argument about frivolous lawsuits being filed, especially here in Texas, by those no-good trial attorneys. Well here's a story about a a frivolous lawsuit filed by a well-to-do youngster. I'd write "spoiled brat" but I don't know the kid personally, but, who else would file a lawsuit for getting kicked off the golf team at Duke for assault on a team member and insubordination?

Apparently, Rudy Giuliani's kid went to Duke and played for their golf team as a non-scholarship player. Then, he was kicked off the team. Next, he sued. Now, a magistrate judge has recommended that the suit be thrown out of court. In the opinion the judge mockingly used golf parlance and even quoted the classic comedy, "Caddy Shack". Essentially, the judge thought the suit lacked merit, in other words, it was frivolous.

People always point to the, "McDonald's coffee spilled in the lap" lawsuit as an example of a frivolous lawsuit. Well, the facts of that case might change your mind about it if you're one that thinks of it as frivolous. About the McDonald's coffee case I'll just state that there were 3rd degree burns, the injured person's lap, and skin grafts involved.

So much for frivolous lawsuits always being filed by ambulance chasing trial attorneys. Sometimes they're filed by the kids of former Republican presidential candidates. It should be interesting to hear Rudy Giuliani speak out against, "frivolous lawsuits," in the future given his son's adventures in the legal system.

I'm not sure but, someone please tell me that this is the same kid that acted like a brat up during a then-Mayor Giuliani's speech, a speech that was classically mocked by snl:
