What A Coincidence! Rudy's "Surprise" Cell Phone Call From Judi -- It's Happened Before
By Greg Sargent - September 21, 2007, 2:54PM
While delivering his big speech today before the National Rifle Association, Rudy was interrupted by a cell phone call from his wife, Judith Nathan. An apparently surprised Rudy told the crowd, "it's my wife," spoke to her for a moment, and closed the call with a touching, I'm-happily-married moment, saying, "I love you" to her in front of a crowd of gun rights types.

Is it possible that the man forgot to turn off his cell -- or at least stick the thing on vibrate -- while giving a major speech that could be critical to the outcome of his candidacy? Or is it possible that Judi didn't know about the speech?

On the other hand, it turns out that this isn't the first time this has happened to Rudy, whose past failed marriages could turn out to be a liability among conservative voters. A rival campaign has sent us some video of Rudy receiving a very similar "surprise" call from Judy at the podium during an event last June. And he did the "I love you" thing then, too.

Reminds me of one of the finest scenes ever put to film (Ghoulini's "Strangelove" moment) --




General "Buck" Turgidson: Hello...

General "Buck" Turgidson: I told you never to call me here, don't you know where I am?... Well look, baby, I c-, I *can't* talk to you now... my president needs me!... Of *course* Bucky'd rather be there with you!... Of *course* it isn't only physical!... I deeply respect you as a human being... Some day I'm gonna make you *Mrs* Buck Turgidson!... Oh, listen uh, you go back to sleep hon, and Bucky'll be back there just as soon as he can... All right... listen, sug, don't forget to say your prayers!

1. Is that the mistress who lived with him and his last ex-wife?
What's she... wife number 3?

2. Phone call bits worked for Bob Newhart
:shrug: Maybe Rudy figures it makes him look folksy. He doesn't realize that ghouls can never look like "just folks".

3. OH PUUUUUULLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEAAASE!
obviously staged. No chance she does not know the exact time he goes on. Now way he does not turn his phone off. No way his handlers do not make sure his phone is off unless they are expecting some staged bullshit like this. Very effective though, it gets the crowd to see that he is like everyone else and sympathize and diffuses his critics (and on the NRA Rudy has more than few).

So fucking fake.

6. More likely that it was someone thinking of writing him a check
Rudy's opinion can change AS the check is being written

7. What better way to stage a way to show that you have a
happy home life, but to have a staffer call you in front of an audience?

That was great acting Rudy.

Let's see if Fred Thompson can out perform you when he receives a fake call from the wife he did not knock up in college.
