Rudy Giuliani talks up McCain/Palin energy policy 6

Former mayor of New York City and one-time presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani came out swinging tonight on energy policy, praising John McCain's approach and emphasizing the pro-drilling portion. "He will lead us toward an America that will be independent of foreign oil by an 'all-of-the-above' approach, including nuclear power and off-shore drilling, said Giuliani. "Drill, baby, drill," said Giuliani. "Drill, baby, drill."

He also praised the selection of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, noting the energy angle: "She's already one of the most successful governors in America -- and the most popular. And she already has more executive experience than the entire Democratic ticket. She's led a city and a state. She's reduced taxes and government spending."

"And she's actually done something about moving America toward energy independence -- taking on the oil companies while encouraging more energy exploration here at home," said Giuliani.

    Che disgrazia!Rudy is an embarrassment.  It is time for him to retire to Paraguay.
    More people live in my block than in Wassilla, Alaska.  And more people live on the Upper West Side than in all of Alaska.  So Rudy's praise of Palin is cheerleading at its cheapest.

    Chickens deserve our true friendship! So do fish! So do other sentient beings! Let us learn to be kind.

    Most Popular Governor?John Lynch of New Hampshire and Tim McKaine of Virginia are extremely popular and have been reelected with 70 or 80% of the vote.
    What are Palin's current popularity ratings?
    At best this is an exaggeration -- one of the very popular governors may be correct.

    Classier?What phrase can be heard in the Minneapolis men's airport bathroom during the inevitable wide stance, toe tapping comfort breaks taken by travelors to and from the RNC?

    amazingdrxYou need to update a bit. That is really old and totally insignificant, but you are fixated on it. Any thoughts on John Edwards? What a slimebag!
