From Crooks and Liars:What a hypocrite. Rudy has no problem selling his soul for some wingnut love.
Rudy Giuliani is finally going to talk about something besides 9/11 (actually, that’s a guess, and we’ll probably be proven wrong), and he’s coming to 2008-election-ignored Philadelphia to do it. On a day when social conservatives and the far right are increasingly worried that the former New York mayor is too liberal on their cultural issues, Giuliani will visit Geno’s in South Philly, all so he can order a cheesesteak in front of a sign that says: “This is America — When Ordering, Speak English.”.
Immediately below the sign, it says “Management Reserves the Right to Refuse Service.” Just a coincidence, owner Joey Vento will tell you…read on
Now, Giuliani's political ads are playing a radically different tune, featuring his words that "if anybody becomes a citizen, we should make certain that they can read English, write English and speak English, because this is an English speaking country." Oddly enough, what Giuliani said already is, in essence, a requirement of citizenship, but the facts aren't as important as the candidate's tone and emphasis, that the anti-immigration movement is no longer "one of our most serious public problems" -- not with so many votes at stake (or in tonight's case..."at steak"?)

This is America. Yep. Learn to speak Ojibwe, Apache, Cherokee, Seminole, or get the hell out.

Hey, this person's comment to the story was hilarious and it answered my question on how many wife phone calls that guy gets:
"And if the "wiz wit" stunt ain't enough, take note: Rudy has had speeches and debate performances interrupted by cell phone calls on 40 separate occasions! And his explanation for all this? What else - 9/11! "Ever since 9/11 I keep in touch with my wife and let her know how much I love her."
Um, never mind that on 9/11 it was a whole different wife!!!

But be advised, this isn't a stunt coming from within the Rudy campaign! No siree Bob! It's all just to show how much he loves whichever wife he's on at the moment!
9/11!!!!!!

I'm making sure that I don't slip at the tongue and say that my name is Jose. The owner may not hand over the cheesesteak sandwich to me.
Rudy's wife got Rudy by the cojones. She is checking in to her assets to make sure that Rudy doesn't give a knowing wink to the next wife number 4 or 5.
p.s. You won't get a cheesesteak sandwich, kittybowtie. Look at your colors: black and white. Owner would drop kick you. ;-)
