9/11 changed everything and McCain learned this over 5.5 years about 35 years ago.

I already wrote the speech!

shortsshortsshorts August 20, 2008 at 1:01 pm

9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11

Have we forgotten?

9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11

In the wake of the John Edwards scandal, the GOP is eager to remind voters that they too have egomaniacal douches who cheat on their wives WITH OTHER WOMEN as opposed to hobos and guys they met at the rest stop.

ManchuCandidate August 20, 2008 at 1:04 pm

Repeat 9/11 as many times as necessary in Daffy Duck voice.

Can I haz $100K now for writing your speech, 9ud11?

chitownlib August 20, 2008 at 1:04 pm

9/11 interpretive dance to Enrique’s “Hero”?

ALIVE! August 20, 2008 at 1:04 pm

They wanted Fred Thompson, but he backed out when he heard it would be at 9 o’clock at night.

It’s so McCain will look less of philandering marital surrender monkey

SEPTEMBER THE ELEVENTH, ALAN!!!

Immediately afterwards, Jack Bauer will drag a hippie in off the street, stick a grenade up his ass, and detonate him in front of the howling crowd. Blood and viscera will rain down, setting the stage for Cheney’s address to the assembled throng.

CrunchyKnee August 20, 2008 at 1:08 pm

Ground zero, 911, TERRA!

loudmouthredhead August 20, 2008 at 1:08 pm

[re=63949]chitownlib[/re]: Holy MOLE-y would that be entertaining. All most as good as when he guest-starred on SNL’s “Janet Reno’s Dance Party”

Scarab August 20, 2008 at 1:09 pm

Good choice, I think he will set the tone for the GOP convention: creepiness and defeat.

NoWireHangers August 20, 2008 at 1:09 pm

If the RNC is going to parade out all their sad muppet losers from the primaries, I hope they reserve a place for Tom “I See Mexicans” Tancredo, Fred “Weekend and Bernies” Thompson, and Alan “Crazy Eyes” Keyes.

4tehlulz August 20, 2008 at 1:11 pm

He should just go up, say “Noun, Verb, 9/11,” then leave and go cash the check.

grendel August 20, 2008 at 1:11 pm

I’m thinking we should have a 9/11 drinking game… and a stomach pump

freakishlystrong August 20, 2008 at 1:12 pm

I wonder if his speaking time will be 9:11?

tonashideska August 20, 2008 at 1:14 pm

Is Wonkette going to have an official count the 9/11 references contest?

If so, I predict 9iu11iani will say it 911 times.

4tehlulz August 20, 2008 at 1:15 pm

[re=63985]freakishlystrong[/re]: There will be a moment of silence for the fallen at 9:11, followed by the execution of 911 randomly selected Muslims.

AngryBlakGuy August 20, 2008 at 1:18 pm

…first Lieberman then 9ui11iani, this looks like a setup for a PRO-CHOICE VP. Tom Ridge anyone?

ProfessorJukes August 20, 2008 at 1:18 pm

Rudy in St. Paul? I hear he’s eye-talian, doncha know.

This should be good. Enough firefighters and other people in NYC still hate his ass that he’ll be a nice controversial pseudo-fascist wart on the RNC’s ass. Long live America’s fuhre– I mean, mayor!

jagorev August 20, 2008 at 1:19 pm

[re=63974]Scarab[/re]: Dammit, did they change the theme again? I thought it was going to be “sissy tears and ass lube”.

loudmouthredhead August 20, 2008 at 1:19 pm

[re=63980]grendel[/re]: Are you trying to pickle yourself?

[re=63979]4tehlulz[/re]: Ingredients: Reagan, defeat/hunt/kill/defend, 9/11, “tear down this wall”, Jeebus, islamo-fascists, freedom.

Toss together with fear for zest. Serves: way too many.

Sussemilch August 20, 2008 at 1:19 pm

Giuliani, an excellent representative of McCain as a fellow douche living off the memory of surviving misfortune.

Manofsteel August 20, 2008 at 1:21 pm

I hear he’s going to arrive by flying a 747 into the Xcel Energy Center.

Though…wait…wouldn’t that mean he has to leave Florida? Hmm.

OneSarcasticMexican August 20, 2008 at 1:23 pm

Its gonna be like the smurfs : My 9/11 will be the most 9/11 in the 9/11 9/11 while I walk through the 9/11 in the 9/11 moments, we shall 9/11 those 9/11s with our huge enormous 9/11.

The Real JR Revisted August 20, 2008 at 1:23 pm

THAT TIME DAD HAD AN ETHNIC CROSS DRESSER WITH AN ACCENT AND ONE TESTICLE MAKE A SPEECH FOR HIM.

shortsshortsshorts August 20, 2008 at 1:23 pm

[re=64003]loudmouthredhead[/re]: I miss when the repugs were all on the Reagan kick. Perhaps the best debate in the history of man was at the Reagan Library. That drinking game almost put many of us in the hospital.

“REAGAN.”
“9/11″
“EXTREMISTS”
“REAGAN.”

Rinse and repeat.

johnbpt August 20, 2008 at 1:25 pm

Ratbert as the face of the GOP. Perfect in every way.

loudmouthredhead August 20, 2008 at 1:25 pm

[re=64019]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: Exactly. I kept praying the supports for Ronny’s plane would give way and crush the lot of them, but oh well.

Miller August 20, 2008 at 1:28 pm

C’mon, there’s only a 60% chance he’s going to do it in drag. You know how long a burlesque number with a 9/11 backdrop, endorsing John McCain through song and dance takes to choreograph?

The Incomparable Tiny Valdez August 20, 2008 at 1:29 pm

Bernard Kerik is going to speak on the theme of integrity.

Monsieur Grumpe August 20, 2008 at 1:30 pm

Rudi? Couldn’t they get Pee Wee Herman?

Strictly for the Tardcore August 20, 2008 at 1:30 pm

[re=64019]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: I vaguely remember that speech. I’m shocked their were any survivors.

For the proposed 9iu11iani drinking game, I propose:

“nine-eleven” = 1 drink
“September the Eleventh” = 2 drinks
“September the Elventh, Two-Thousand One” = 3 drinks

and the rarest of 9iu11iani memes:

“September the Twelfth” = 5 drinks

Before this game begins, it would be preferable to have an EMT unit on standby.

Doglessliberal August 20, 2008 at 1:32 pm

[re=63996]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: Nah, not going to happen. Mr. Speak-at-Bob-Jones-U would never cross that crowd again.

SayItWithWookies August 20, 2008 at 1:33 pm

The guy who put NYC’s emergency response headquarters in the WTC — which is truly exemplary of the decisive, from-the-gut leadership that we’ve had for the last eight years and can expect from four more of McCain.

Doglessliberal August 20, 2008 at 1:33 pm

[re=64037]The Incomparable Tiny Valdez[/re]: then he and Rudy are going to co-present a seminar on “How to Keep a Love Nest for Your Mistress on the Public Nickel”

Doglessliberal August 20, 2008 at 1:34 pm

[re=64003]loudmouthredhead[/re]: you forget “experience experience experience experience, tested tested tested”

DemmeFatale August 20, 2008 at 1:36 pm

[re=64024]johnbpt[/re]: Ha! Ha! Ratbert!! Even better than Ferret-face!!

Gopherit v2.0 August 20, 2008 at 1:37 pm

[re=63965]Truculent[/re]: It would have to be a Hippie-baby, then. Or a box full of kittens with small Obama shirts. The Dark Lord wouldn’t show without a pure blood sacrifice.

anabellum August 20, 2008 at 1:37 pm

the line up is seriously giving me the creeps…one monster after another…

locally its being reported that Bobby Jindal has been given the slot after Cindy….but before the Veep candidate….

TGY August 20, 2008 at 1:40 pm

Perhaps he can offer some pointers on how to lose.

GlennBecksTaint August 20, 2008 at 1:41 pm

Now first you must cure your temper
Then you find a job in the paper
You need someone for a savior
Oh Rudy can’t fail

Mr. Herpes August 20, 2008 at 1:42 pm

Truculent is onto something — Just before the ass grenade, Rudy will screech a long speech about 9-11 while the the big screen will show fast, soft images of Obama, Jane Fonda, Black Panthers, Dennis Hopper from ‘Easy Rider’, Hendrix setting fire to his guitar at Monterey, and Osama bin Laden. Any old white people who haven’t shit their pants by then will be howling for Democratic blood when Cheney stalks across the stage and shouts “Seig Heil!”

itgetter August 20, 2008 at 1:44 pm

Can I just note that there is a depressing lack of alt text on pictures today?

Sara in the West August 20, 2008 at 1:46 pm

I would have loved to be at the meeting when the brain trust came up with this idea: Yeah, Rudy, that’s the one, you know the candidate that got more unpopular as people got to know him…hmm, well maybe we can get ah,…. um,…. ok, Rudy, yeah he’s our guy!

Comedy Gold, that’s an understatement.

regisgoat August 20, 2008 at 1:57 pm

Stop me if you’ve heard this one:

Knock, knock
Who’s there?
Sept. 11
Sept. 11 who?
You said you’d never forget me!!

S.Luggo August 20, 2008 at 2:04 pm

It is my dream, nay, my prayer, to have Craziani serenaded by the conventioneers with a rousing rendition of “Hello Rudy” as he steps to the podium before a kick line of chorus boys. Then a trap door will quickly open and drop him into a cage of starving wolverines who have been to watch daytime TV for the past week. If I have a fault, it is that when I dream, I dream big.

DoctorCulturae August 20, 2008 at 2:04 pm

I think we should declare that day Rudy Day. Everyone should wear drag and only say in a bass monotone: Are you my wife?

Servo August 20, 2008 at 2:04 pm

He’ll announce his support for McCorpse to drill for oil in the East River.

ProfessorJukes August 20, 2008 at 2:08 pm

[re=64041]Strictly for the Tardcore[/re]:

Also,
-Any reference to Dems having a “pre-Sept 11th mindset” or “Sept 10th worldview” = drink
-Referring to “that peaceful September morning” or “beautiful sunny morning” = Bong Hit
-References to how the attacks “changed everything” = big long hit of liquid Rush or other poppers

FalconerHK August 20, 2008 at 2:19 pm

Oh Rudy, girl, we miss your sweet ass on teh teevee, stumbling around in your Blahniks, feeling up teh donaldz or blowing firefighters or something. Nothing says “freedom” quite like America’s Mayor™, hero of 911, icon of republican strength, masculinity and morality falling all over the place like a tween girl in her first Hello KItty stiletto heels backstage at a David Archulletta concert. RuPaul deepthroating cock looks more manly than you, even when you cross-dress into a suit complete with flag pin while fluffing Lieberman on stage at the republican convention, but we love you anyway, because you Know How to Take Care of Business. Oh, almost forgot. Nine one one.

And of course, by love, I refer exclusively to the very specific niche-love you practice: “pseudo-anonymous anal spelunking with crack dealing underage male prostitutes you met while trolling for interns on MySpace after attending a church service with your shrewish, bitter wife-beard and mouth-breathing cross-eyed offspring” kind of love.

pondscum August 20, 2008 at 2:34 pm

[re=64105]S.Luggo[/re]:We’re talking Minnesota. They would be golden gophers, which while not as inherently evil, would take longer to kill him.

OuterBoroughPrincess August 20, 2008 at 2:42 pm

This really is a stroke of genius. They’ve chosen someone who actually has a less compelling oratorical style than the nominee . . . who also, possibly, has an even weirder shaped head.

JamesMichaelCurley August 20, 2008 at 2:44 pm

[re=63997]ProfessorJukes[/re]: We called him “Il Duce” back in the day. I came accross a message file down load from a Compuserve forum (ask your grandparents kiddies) where I was lambasting “Il Duce” on 9/10/01. Gonna be a file to keep on an old hard drive, whatever.

S.Luggo August 20, 2008 at 3:23 pm
RuperttheBear August 20, 2008 at 5:02 pm

[re=63980]grendel[/re]: It should be the 9/11 fucking game. Foreplay as he’s introduced. Penetration as he begins speaking. Then, one thrust for each time he says “9/11.”

Use a LOT of lube or the friction will set contact points on fire.
