Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani speaks at Norwalk Hospital in Norwalk, Conn., Tuesday, July 31, 2007.

Is the NYT’s implying that the Mayor receives favorable coverage from Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. and Fox News?

Yeah, but, consider the source. The Times is sore that Murdoch just purchased the Wall Street Journal and will mightily compete with the NYT for circulation.

Lastly, tonight, Rudy was on the Charlie Rose Show.

The transcript is here and the video when it is available is here.

There are previous Rose interviews with the Mayor here.

Flap thinks you will find both pieces a way to finish the day.

See you tomorrow…….

Former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, right, on the set of “Hannity and Colmes” with Sean Hannity on Feb. 5, 2007.

John Edwards 28,000 square foot compound in North Carolina

But Edwards saved his biggest bomb for the mini presser afterward, where he responded to Giuliani’s jibe that he and Obama and Hillary, “do not understand a capitalistic economy.”

“What Giuliani is, is George Bush on steroids.” Edwards said. “Giuliani, Romney and the rest of the Republicans running for the nomination are going to give the country four more years of crony capitalism, which is exactly what we have now. We have insurance companies and drug companies and oil companies running this government. They need to be stopped. And Giuliani just wants to empower them.”

The fact is John Edwards = HYPOCRITE.

Listen to Edwards campaigning in Dover New Hampshire:

And, then look at his 25,000 square foot home above.

John Edwards understands a capitalistic economy, he lives in it.

However, what John Edwards does NOT understand is that socialist type redistribution policies hurt American businesses and investment.

The Mayor’s quote:

“This is one of the things they do not understand, whether it’s Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama or John Edwards – they do not understand a capitalistic economy. They think it’s bad to make money,” he said, adding that he sees no shame in someone wanting to be rich.

Indeed……

North Dakota Congressman, Earl Pomeroy, says he won’t vote to impeach President Bush but calls him ” A CLOWN” anyway.

North Dakota’s U.S. Rep. Earl Pomeroy calls President Bush a “clown” and says he “can’t stand” him in a new video posted on the Internet.

The Democratic congressman was approached by a group called Grassroots America last week as he was walking the streets of Washington, D.C.

A Macaca moment?

You bet.

The RNC just identified another “vulnerable” Democrat incumbent Congressional seat.

Democratic presidential hopeful, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., delivers a speech about terrorism, Wednesday, Aug. 1, 2007, at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington. Obama said Wednesday that he would send troops into Pakistan to hunt down terrorists even without local permission if warranted — an attempt to show strength when his chief rival has described his foreign policy skills as naive.

The speech is here.

…..Just because the President misrepresents our enemies does not mean we do not have them. The terrorists are at war with us. The threat is from violent extremists who are a small minority of the world’s 1.3 billion Muslims, but the threat is real. They distort Islam. They kill man, woman and child; Christian and Hindu, Jew and Muslim. They seek to create a repressive caliphate. To defeat this enemy, we must understand who we are fighting against, and what we are fighting for. ….(emphasis Flap’s)

Drew Cline points out that Obama has picked up on Rudy’s line.

In his speech on terrorism today, Sen. Barack Obama referred to the war on terror with a term almost identical to the one Rudy Giuliani invented for his campaign. Instead of saying “war on terror,” he said “al-Qaida’s war against us. . .” and “the terrorists are at war with us.”

Rudy’s coinage is “the terrorists’ war on us.”

Barack, you AIN”T Rudy but like Slow Joe Plagiarizing Biden, you know a good line, now don’t ya?

Sheesh – empty suit indeed……..

A War We Just Might Win

Why the surge might not be stopped

And the Democrats may very well be losing their main wedge issue for the 2008 Presidential and Congressional elections.

Let’s hope so.

Democratic presidential hopeful, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., delivers a speech about terrorism, Wednesday, Aug. 1, 2007, at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington.

In a speech about terrorism, Senator Barack Obama that he would possibly send troops into Pakistan to hunt down terrorists.

The quotes:

“Let me make this clear,” Obama said in a speech prepared for delivery at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. “There are terrorists holed up in those mountains who murdered 3,000 Americans. They are plotting to strike again. It was a terrible mistake to fail to act when we had a chance to take out an al-Qaida leadership meeting in 2005. If we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets and President Musharraf won’t act, we will.”

Kiss Barack good-bye…….

In an attempt to look MACHO in contrast to Hillary, Obama has taken naivety to a new level.

Hillary trapped Barack by calling attention to his lack of foreign policy experience and maturity.

Obama’s speech comes the week after his rivalry with New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton erupted into a public fight over their diplomatic intentions.

Obama said he would be willing to meet leaders of rogue states like Cuba, North Korea and Iran without conditions, an idea that Clinton criticized as irresponsible and naive. Obama responded by using the same words to describe Clinton’s vote to authorize the Iraq war and called her “Bush-Cheney lite.”

Now, he won’t even make a Vice President candidate for Hillary.

Wonder what the LEFT thinks of him now?

Well, they are already calling Obama a NEO-CON favoring pre-emptive war.

Update:

Jerome Armstrong, lefty extraordinaire over at MyDD calls out Barack:

Basically, a continuation of the Bush doctrine of unilateral pre-emptive attacks in the mid-east, with Obama adding Pakistan to the list.

And this:

Update: Obama: Calls for Unilateral War Against Pakistan

This follows up on something he said in 2004, when he suggested that he would support launching missles against Pakistan and Iran to prevent extremists from getting nuclear weapons.

Who’s acting like Bush now?

For me the most disturbing part is that he is calling not for an international coalition or increased assistance to the Pakistani government, but for a military invasion of a sovereign nation.

Barack Obama called the invasion of Iraq a “stupid war.” How is this smarter? Aren’t there better options than sending an already-stretched military into a hostile nation with a moderate government?

Flap thinks Obama will have a difficult time this weekend in Chicago at the Daily Kos Convention.

Will Kos Kids BOO the latest Neo-Con Bush chimp?
