Giuliani: Biden Lacks ‘Mental Capacity’ for VP Job

[spanone]

hey rudy, he got it and you didn't...

........................................

Vice President Joe Biden might not have “the mental capacity” for the job, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani said Tuesday on CNBC. (Read More: Giuliani: ‘No Lingering Doubts’ About Mitt Romney)

“I've never seen a vice president that has made as many mistakes, said as many stupid things,” he said on “The Kudlow Report.” “I mean, there’s a real fear if, God forbid, he ever had to be entrusted with the presidency, whether he really has the mental capacity to handle it.

“I mean, this guy just isn’t bright. He’s never been bright. He isn’t bright. And people think, ‘Well, he just talks a little too much.’ Actually, he’s just not very smart.” (Read More: Giuliani: ‘Impression’ of Cover-Up in Holder Case)

Giuliani, who made failed bids for the Republican presidential nomination in 2008 and the U.S. Senate in 2000, praised Mitt Romney’s selection of Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan as his running mate. (Read More: Ryan Will Cost Romney Election, Top Investor Says)

6. Rudy got BURNED

and he still hot about it. Douchebag.

[lumpy]

34. Yes, Rudy got burned badly by Biden and rightly so...Rudy, the poor ass, is seeking revenge.

Rudy is a little man in a big world.

[ljm2002]

14. +1000000

Yep, that's why Giuliani can't stand him: Biden OWNED him with that remark, and those of us who follow politics have never forgotten it, because it is witty and pithy and oh, so true.

Of course one cannot expect Giuliani to like him for it

But Giuliani is not smart enough to come up with something witty and pithy; no, he has to attack Biden's "mental capacity", which is absolutely laughable. Anyone who has listened to him knows he is sharp. Whereas Giuliani... well as I said, he can't come up with anything witty or pithy, and that is the ONLY way he could get back at Biden. But he hasn't got the intellectual firepower to do it.

[malaise]

33. BUt 9/11 happened under the war criminals

Bush and Cheney and not Biden.
Poor fool!! Nominate Bernie St Rudy of 9/11

[Inuca]

21. My first

thought as well . And I am sure many, many, many others' forst thought also.

I can't believe that once upon a time I used to respect Giuliani (not like, respect, different).

[hifiguy]

30. Ghouliani is still pissed about that.

Joe destroyed him forever with a single truthful quip.

[corkhead]

2. More projection from another republicon grifter

[ananda]

5. Yup, people in glass houses..

..

[truebrit71]

3. Hey 9/11, ever heard of Dan Quayle????

Speaking of 'lacking mental capacity'.....

[rfranklin]

4. The whore of 9/11 speaks!

What exactly did you do to protect NYC from terrorism?

[hatrack]

19. How dare you question America's Mayor?!? Why, he moved the Emergency Command Center To WTC 7!!

Oh, wait.

Oops.

[Johonny]

7. Biden is either his 9 or 11 th person he'd pick for the job

[Tommy_Carcetti]

8. He then added, "Hey, did you guys know that I was mayor of New York during 9-11? I'm a hero!"

Seriously though, Joe Biden is one of the most underestimated men in Washington. He's got a brilliant mind for both foreign and domestic policy.

And unlike Dubya or Mitt, his "gaffes" are not reflective of low intelligence.

[marmar]

9. Ugh....Go back to crawling along the tracks of the No. 7 train ........

...... Why does this piece of excrement still get any press?

[WI_DEM]

10. And they say we are running a nasty campaign?

[HughBeaumont]

11. 9u11iani . . . on CNBC . . . gee, THAT'S a stretch.

CNBC is nothing but a big anti-Obama ad on which Dubya Mitt and Boy Galt are frequent guests.

[reflection]

12. The RW sycophant I work with

is Very Concerned(TM) that Obama needs to change his VP to Hillary.

I said "so basically you are taking your marching orders from Quitter Palin, and you would have the sitting president raid his cabinet a few months before the election to throw his Vice President on the scrap heap. And you would ask him to pick the person who galvanizes your base even more than she does mine. You are higher than Bob Marley climbing the Himalayans in stilettos."

He says "it's gonna happen. It may not be Hillary but Obama is going to ditch Biden the bozo. Bank it."

I said "$500. Right now. I'll bet you $500 this never happens. Let's get a co-worker in here to witness it," and called down the hall for someone to come in the room. Two heads poked around the corner.

He balked. I took it down to $250 and then $100, then a paltry $20. He wouldn't bite. What a punk. The two heads disappeared, disappointed that nothing happened.

He's still regretting betting me $200 that if Romney wins, that the ACA will be repealed in the first two years. I don't think that bet will even happen because I think Obama wins a close one, but lately, I've decided I'm in the moron-fleecing business, and business is going to be good.

(Yes, I know we should be working and not jousting. Sorry.)

[lumpy]

37. The GOP is using, in desperation, any stupid attack they can come up with trying

to discredit Obama's administration. They know Biden is vocally active member of that administration so anything goes. Guess we can expect more of this sleazy mud slinging til' Nov.
What next?

[RegieRocker]

13. Translation

I am able to feed you bullshit and hide what I really think.

[lpbk2713]

15. Where does that leave Ryan Rudy?

You know Ryan? The assclown who just a few days ago referred
to his running mate as the former Governor of Virginia?

16. Joe Biden not only worked on the Senate Judiciary Committee & is an expert in .....

... international relations but he has been a professor of Constitutional Law.

From Wiki:

Since 1991, Biden has served as an adjunct professor at the Widener University School of Law, Delaware's only law school, where he has taught a seminar on constitutional law. The seminar has been one of Widener's most popular, often with a waiting list for enrollment. Biden has typically co-taught the course with another professor, taking on at least half the course minutes and sometimes flying back from overseas to make one of the classes.

[KurtNYC]

17. Biden has never mistaken his lawyer's face for a bird Mr. Nine-Eleven.

[reflection]

20. I literally spewed coffee just now.

It's all over the blueprints on my desk and down my shirt. I have a meeting at 11a. DAMMIT

[mathematic]

18. He's been VP for 4 years!

I don't get why republicans are making the usual "non-incumbent" type attacks this election cycle. Biden's not capable. Obama has never had a real job. Etc etc etc. Usually, the point of these attacks is to sow doubt in the capability of the candidate to do the job of the elected office.

This doesn't make sense for incumbent candidates. Biden's shown for four years he's had the mental capacity to be VP. Obama HAS had a real job... President of the United States of America! Why would there be doubt on whether Obama/Biden can do the job if they have been doing the job for the last four years? It's like these clowns are still living in '08.

[ChoppinBroccoli]

22. Thanks For Offering Your Opinion, Rudy

Don't you have another wife to cheat on, or a few more kids to alienate or something?

[Gabi Hayes]

23. judy, you really just need to stf:

he was spewing his biden crap on piers whatever tonight

[nyquil_man]

24. I like VP Biden.

If he annoys Rudy, I like him even more.

[Canuckistanian]

25. AGAIN, the Rmoney surrogates refuse to supply specifics

At what point do voters finally decide to abandon Rmoney in droves?

[ejpoeta]

26. ha ha ha! what a funny funny guy. not sure where he is qualified

to make that kind of assessment.

[liberallibral]

27. They're really gangin' up on Joe...

And Romney says the Obama ticket is the "angry" one........

[Politicalboi]

28. But Bush and Palin

Are scholars right Rudy? These fucking assholes give us total idiots like Palin and Bush and have the nerve to say anything about someone else's intelligence. Joe O'Biden is smarter than Ghouliani will ever be. Now go put a dress on Rudy, your boyfriend Donald is waiting for you.

Can't say he didn't try.

And I know it's Biden not O'Biden.

[treestar]

29. This is one of the stupidest things noun verb 911 ever said

Mental capacity? Really? What a moron.

[valerief]

31. Isn't Ghouliani the stupidest man on the planet? All he knows how to say is, "911." nt

[woodsprite]

32. Giuliani trying to be relevant again. n/t

[madinmaryland]

35. Yeap! End of thread!

[progressivebydesign]

36. and Bush was president for EIGHT years. Rudy go back to adultery, something you know. n/t

[Gabi Hayes]

38. here's what giudi had to say about Mitt during his disastrous campaign of 08:

Well I think it's deeper, I think it's deeper than just he's kind of staid and everything else. I ran against him in '07, '08. I have never seen a guy--and I've run a lot of elections, supported a lot of people, opposed them--never seen a guy change his positions on so many things so fast--on a dime . . . Now what will Barack Obama do to that? What Barack Obama will do to that is: this is a man without a core. This is a man without a substance. This is a man who will say anything to become President of the United States. I think that is a great vulnerability.

~RUDY GIULIANI

There's something wrong when you've been running as long as Mitt has, and you're at 25%, and you don't go much above, and you don't go much below. 75% of the other Republicans are telling you something about him.
