• We in the New York Area call him by his first name )


  • I dunno, I never really cared much for this “Rudy” - I’m not so sure he would make a great President, though time might prove me wrong.


  • @Yanny:

    I’m a M-O-D-E-R-A-T-E, you know people I’d think would make or made great Presidents?

    JFK
    His brother Robby…
    Jimmy Carter
    Bush Sr.
    Colin Powell
    Rudy!
    John Mccain
    Bob Dole

    Bad Presidents? Nixon, Reagan, Bush, Clinton’s second term.

    JFK - I’ll agree.
    His brother Robby - Probably not.
    Jimmy Carter - Definetely NOT a good president!
    Bush Sr. - I agree, a very good president.
    Colin Powell - Maybe.
    Rudy! - Umm…No.
    John Mccain - I think not…
    Bob Dole - Haven’t made up my mind yet…


  • Unsure about Bob Dole. As for Robby, he’s a smart kid, but I’d have to give him a few extra years before becoming president.


  • Uh, T_6, I don’t think he’ll have the time. He’s DEAD! - Xi

    “The future does not belong to those who are content with today,
    apathetic toward common problems and their fellow man alike,
    timid and fearful in the face of bold projects and new ideas.
    Rather, it will belong to those who can blend passion, reason and
    courage in a personal commitment to the ideals of American society.”

    • Robert F. Kennedy

  • “Rudy” has very little experience with foreign policy, but hell President Bush had none either. He probably would need another term in a higher position in the Government to gain the experience. He’d make a great Attorny General.

    Robby K would of been great. Too bad he was killed.


  • Uh, T_6, I don’t think he’ll have the time. He’s DEAD! - Xi

    Bob Dole is dead!? NOOOOO!!! Viagra finally did him in! :P

    He’d make a great Attorny General

    I also think that Rudy can make a great Attorny General, but I’m not so sure for president.

    Robby K would of been great. Too bad he was killed.

    Yeah. Sucks, doesn’t it. Imagine how good he would’ve been if given 20 more years.


  • Found a quote I thought hit the mark on two presidents.

    @Jim:

    Just as a large segment of liberal political opinion never could accept Nixon as a “legitimate” president, neither can a large segment of conservative political opinion today accept Clinton’s legitimacy in the Oval Office…. Nixon’s slash-and-burn politics, Red-baiting and smarmy sanctimony earned him the undying enmity of otherwise tolerant liberals long before he turned the crime of Watergate into a fatal political blunder. For Clinton, draft ducking, toking on a marijuana cigarette and a family life that he acknowledges has not been perfect create the same effect: He is unable to establish moral authority with opponents who might otherwise be open to his centrist style and policies.

    I thought he wrote it quite well.


  • ha, moral authority+ politics= LMAO :D :D


  • A slight aside -
    Anybody heard the radio advert. for Georgy Stepanopolous’ upcoming weekend news show? And I quote, “Where the news will be made.” :lol:
    Nothing new there. The Liberal News Media has been ‘making’ the news for decades. I cannot believe the producers let that one slip by them. But, then they don’t see their own bias.

    And now, back to the subject. Or is it?

    Anybody see the 9-11-02 Letterman/Clinton show? The perpident had to get his face on tv ASAP after W to cover his sas. :wink: (gotcha, policia!)
    I noted the way he said he couldn’t do a daytime talk show. And I quote, “I don’t wake up until four in the afternoon.” I guess it took cigars and dress alterations to keep him awake in the Oral :oops: Oval office. :)

  • Guest posting was me. :oops: My fault this time.

    Correction - “This is where news will be made.” - G. Stephanopolous

    1]“Communism, like any other revealed religion, is largely made up
    of prophecies. When they fail its clergy simply say that they will
    be realized later on. Thus, if we have another boom, they will argue
    that the collapse of capitalism is only postponed. The fact that the
    greatest booms ever heard of followed Marx’s formal prophecy of the
    downfall of capitalism is already forgotten, just as millions have
    long since forgotten the early Christian prophecy that the end of
    the world was at hand. The first Christians accepted postponements
    as docilely as the Communists of today.” - Henry L. Mencken

    Sorry, but most of us Californians watch Jay Leno. He’s much better (IMO) anyways…


  • @TG:

    Hmmm! I don’t wonder that y’all lean that way. He’s got better access to the vaccum packed silicon(Dave only has Tony Randall and Regis[though not so much Reeg since his Who Wants to be a Millionaire stint]), a nicer car collection, purty girls down front, celebrity-look-alikes(I liked the Ozzy O.and the Martha S., but the Clinton was better than the Bush[he overdoes the mannerisms]), a black guy paid to laugh at Jay’s lousy jokes(what was the name of the one who had the dignity to walk away?), better tech and props.

    However, I like Dave a lil betta cuz he’s from Indiana(close enough to Cincy, OH). He picked up some of his early corny stuff(the hams)from Paul Dixon, a first generation cornball(used a rubber chicken)talk show host for WLWT - TV5. TV5 is considered a ground breaker in talk shows, but I digress. I enjoy Dave cause he thumbs his nose a the expected. Notice the white socks with the $? suits. He is relaxed and human.

    Jay is still stiff after ten(count 'em, 10) years. I read a interview with Jay recently. The article mentioned that Jay(#1 in the ratings) was paid $14 million a year, while Dave (#2 in the ratings) got $17 million a year. Old news, but Jay’s words sounded bitter and the interviewer commented on the same thing.

    I think the $ will hurt CBS in the long run, but most of the stuff on tv or cable is crap.

    HA! Yet I sometimes watch both Dave and Jay’s stand up comedy, channel surfing between bad jokes, commercials, Jay’s extended stand up and/or Dave’s Top 10Forget the fluff-interviews). - Xi

    This only shows me that Jay would be more “relaxed” and “human” than Dave.

    Lousy jokes? It would seem that Dave is the one. He’s gotten soft.

    I see. Stiff and bitter is human, but not comfortable for some to watch.
