Giuliani Knocks Biden, Clinton Over Debate Comments

CBS News' Ryan Corsaro reports:

Who writes your material?

That's what Rudy Giuliani wants to know about Senator Joe Biden, who got a laugh at last night's debate by saying that the mayor's entire message is "a noun, a verb and 9/11."

"I think somebody wrote it for him," Giuliani said. "I want to know who wrote it for him."

He added, "I'm running on my record. Joe doesn't have a record like that to run on."

While campaigning in Orangeburg, NY, the mayor also jumped on Hillary Clinton for her comments on driver's licenses for illegal immigrants in New York.

"Last night was the first night I saw her take two positions in front of the same audience in one minute, in front of the same audience," Giuliani said. "Now that's extraordinary. That I have never seen before."

"If you can't take a position on something like drivers licenses," he continued, "what are you going to do about Ahmadinejad?"

The mayor himself accidentally flubbed while speaking to the press, first referring to Clinton's stance on "license plates" instead of driver's licenses, though later used the correct words.

Can you imagine what Giuliani might say if Clinton wanted to allow illegal immigrants to have vanity plates?

by oldprophet November 1, 2007 6:00 PM EDT: Things people should know about Rudolph Giuliani: A Spanish company, Cintra-Zachry, is already building the North American SuperCorridor highway through the middle of our country, and they''re gonna get the tolls. Rodolph Giuliani''s law firm, Bracewell & Giuliani represents that Spanish company. Another Giuliani business, Giuliani Capitol Advisors was once a partner of Cintra-Zachry, and actually owned the rights to collect tolls from the Indiana and Chicago sections of the SuperCorridor before Giuliani sold that interest recently to an Australian company called Macquarie. Bracewell & Giuliani represents some of the biggest multi-national oil, utility infrastructure and financial corporations both in the U.S. and abroad. With that have come the connections that Giuliani has been able to tap into for campaign donations, essential for his Presidential bid, not only in Texas but nationwide, as he has become the consummate NWO globalist. Particularly unnerving, given Giuliani''s personal experience on 9/11, is his defense of open borders at any cost while condoning the NAFTA Superhighway Corridor and by extension the North American Union, without the consent of the U.S. Congress or the will of the American people. We should have seen it coming when Mayor Giuliani enacted Special Order 40 in 1994, ordering NYC law enforcement officers to stop checking the immigration status of suspects caught violating the Law. Vote for a REAL AMERICAN. Vote for Ron Paul.; Reply to this comment

Senator Biden hit the nail right on the proverbial head.

9/11 was a horrible tragedy, but what did the man do, except collect photo ops? I haven''t seen one thing from him that gives him the skill to even find his way out of a paper bag!; Reply to this comment


by lyls3637 November 1, 2007 1:29 AM EDT: Rudy, you have a lot of nerve calling him Joe. He is Senator Biden to you and with 35 years in the Senate you have even MORE nerve saying he doesn''t have a record. Go try being a governor or a Senator and MAYBE someone will consider you a viable candidate for President; Reply to this comment


by sanfelz October 31, 2007 9:35 PM EDT: Rudy''s record consists of denying that terrorism was a threat to NYC, that the air after 9-11 was healthy and that adultery if fine as long as he is a participant.; Reply to this comment

Heck yes, he wants to know who wrote it. Probably because he wants to hire that person. I think the line is hysterical, and right on target.; Reply to this comment
