After this single stumble it has been widely reported on the internet that Giulian's Presidential hopes are dashed, forever dashed.
"I can't imagine electing a man who doesn't know what he did on the day after the day everybody remembers what they were doing." Chimed one blogger.

That's nuthin! Rudy doesn't even know who to cheer for. He once rooted for the Yankees, and now gone and went for the Red Sux! Can we ever trust his poor judgment? or worse yet his apparent bad taste???

>>The man has a lot of dates to keep track of," one aide told reporters. "For one thing, he's had three different wedding anniversaries."
Rudy's brainstorm:
Guess I'll have to spin that for all the family values votes I can get.
Lets see..
I'm a hot serial espouser! Nah, too much like serial killer..
It wasn't bigamy; it wasn't trigamy! No that would upset the Mormons.
I wish I could have stayed married to all of them! No that would upset everyone else.
You can't have too much of a good thing when it comes to marriage! Maybe! Hold that one!
Oh God.
then I'll get the gay-marriage questions.. Maybe I should have one of those and win the Gay votes.. and lose the straight ones..

Yeah, responses consisting of a noun, a verb and "9/12" dont seem to be working out so well for Rudy.

Quick, without looking, what happened on August 4, 2002? Ahh, can't say, can you. I'm no fan of Rudy but the question was totally irrelevant. Of course what happened on 9/12/01 was the continual search for survivors and the beginning of clean-up and thousands of people stranded at airports wondering how and when they would be able to go home.

"That's a good question," Mr. Giuliani said. "September 12 happened one day after September 11 -- and we must never forget the lessons of September 11."
september 12 happened one day after september 11?
I about coughed up a lung.

One thing that happened on September 12th was the Bin Laden family and close friends were allowed to travel to Saudi Arabia, While everyone else in America was grounded.

'Trick Question About 9/12 Stumps Giuliani'
One Line Jokes and trick Questions regarding a National Tragedy which was handled in an expert manner by the NYC Mayor using Clear and deceive thinking, is pretty Sad even for Kool-Aid drinkers???
9/11 was not a Movie, 3,000 pluse Americans Died in this Attack!
Is it fair to say, Comments like 'Red S--' is not the most intelligent way to make a judgment for a United States Presidential Candidate? How Shallow?
On another note, the NY Yankee's are a far better team then they showed in the latter part of the season. Manager Joe Torre did a really Great job for many years, and we appreciate that, however, it is time for him to Go.
To Tore, 'Thank You' for all the great years, and continued Success in the feature..

The Music Man was based on a fictional city called River City, Iowa which is really Mason City, Iowa. The whole town of Mason City, Iowa should have a Rudy Day to commemorate Winthrop Paroo who symbolizes and portraits a young Rudy.

Joe Biden had the guy nailed. They asked him a question that couldn't be answered with "a noun a verb and 9/11".
And after gulping down some water and thinking it over seriously, Rudy answered it with... "a noun a verb and 9/11".
