What's with Rudy and the mid-speech calls from his wife???

[polichick]

How bizarre!

[librechik]

1. message to GOP from Rudy "I'm Not Gay Either!!" n/t

[beberocks]

2. Can you say pussy-whipped? n/t

[redqueen]

9. Can you say misogynist bullshit?

Do you HONESTLY think that call wasn't pre-arranged and scripted?

Good grief. :eyes:

[flyarm]

3. HE WANTS THE FUNDIES TO THINK HE IS HAPPILY MARRIED..AND MR WONDER HUSBAND..

its all part of his act..and it is all bogus!

he is playing to the mid west..

its all crap.

fly

[flyarm]

4. drama queen..what rudy does best..drama queen to the max! eom

[flyarm]

7. rudy is a drama queen ..always has been..he does drama queen to fool the masses to the max! eom

[Poiuyt]

12. Exactly. It was probably a campaign aide on the other end of the phone

All very scripted. It gives him a chance to say "I love you" so everyone will know what a wonderful family man he is.

I wonder if anyone actually bought those charades?

[dipsydoodle]

5. Have you seen The Manchurian Candidate ?

:rofl:

[polichick]

24. No, does the candidate do the same thing? nt

[dipsydoodle]

25. You'd need to see the film

to understand.

[fishnfla]

6. Its the latest sales gimmick

Insurance agents and vendors in my office do it all the time...its an act to make them out to be hard-working family types

[spindrifter]

8. This is precisely why he is

not fit to be a candidate for public office. Does he answer the phone when he's having--you know--night pleasures?

[merci_me]

10. Only if it's his wife calling to see where he is. n/t

[HereSince1628]

11. Schtick or shtick depending on your preferred spelling...

It's a Yiddish phrase that became popular for describing a gag in a comedy skit.

[NoPasaran]

13. He's a jerk

Doesn't he know you're supposed to silence your damn phone when you're at a public venue? I'll bet he wipes his nose on his sleeve too.

[redqueen]

17. Of course he knows. This is just a cheap stunt. n/t

[Sperk]

14. I know! Makes both of them look SO FOOLISH! She looks stupid for

calling him during speeches, or not knowing he's giving a speech and he looks RUDE and foolish for not turning off his phone.

I just can't get over the mentality of these people.

[Bitwit1234]

15. Shows how self centered she is....can't even let him get some attention

while he makes a speech. Petty, petty, petty.

[soothsayer]

16. Well, he has so many...!

[daninthemoon]

18. Total gimmick. Rethugs are full of them, and alot of voters seem notto

notice how blatantly stupid they are. Multi divorced cheatin rudy will drop everything for his wifey's call. My ass.

[AndyTiedye]

19. To Make Up for How He Divorced the Last One

[ElizabethDC]

20. I kind of doubt they're actually from his wife

it's probably one of his staffers calling him from backstage so that he can pretend that his wife is calling him.

[polichick]

21. I agree with all of you...

It's a sickening ploy, and probably not even his wife on the phone. Gosh, who in the world would be impressed by this stuff?!

[Eurobabe]

22. Weak, weak man, RUDITH!!!

[themaguffin]

23. It's no accident, It's a ploy. And it's rude. What an idiot.

[Imalittleteapot]

26. Family man stunt.

[AZBlue]

27. It was a stupid ploy.

Not sure what its purpose was. Its outcome is certain though: he looked like an ass.

[BigDDem]

28. Guess he doesnt have to worry

about getting calls from his kids.

[polichick]

29. Even Pat Buchanan on MSNBC said, "Give me a break!"

He also pointed out that it was the second time Rudy pulled this stunt.
