Former Republican Mayor of New York City (and cross-dresser) Rudy Giuliani praised commie ex-head of the KGB Vladimir Putin over our American President Barack Obama.
Yes. You read that correctly. Julie Annie actually said on FAUX NOOZ that the ex-head of the Soviet Union's KGB is "what you call a leader." The unlawful invasion of a sovereign country is real leadership, so says "America's Mayor" and famous drag queen.
And there you have it, my fellow Americans. During a very tense and dangerous time, this man of questionable allegiance to the United States of America, praised the aggression of the commie, giving aid and comfort to Russia's strongman instead of to his country.
It may be understandable why someone like Giuliani, who enjoys the feminine qualities of the opposite sex and who even went to the extreme of dressing like a glam-girl, would feel all tingley and aflutter over a shirtless guy who invades other countries. It's soooo reminiscent of those giddy, nostalgic days of the Anschluss and the Sudetenland!
Oh Rudy, Rudy, Rudy! You're such a girlie-man-girl! Losing your heart to Vlad the Invader!
"Julie Annie" enjoys being a girl! And has a "thing" for a shirtless Commie!
UPDATE:
As stated in the comments in response to RN's and an Anonymous comment, this post is NOT about the "complex situation" in the Ukraine. It is about a former mayor of a major American city praising an ex-Soviet Union head of the KGB and his invasion of a sovereign country while disparaging our American president and, thereby, insulting the United States of America.
If you want thoughtful, informed comment on what's happening in the Ukraine and the Russian people's reaction, I suggest you read Infidel753's posts HERE and HERE.
He knows much, much more about the situation than do the people cheering on Putin, the Soviet strongman .

I don't even want to think about how the teabag-nutjob right wing would be reacting if a major Democratic politician had praised a hostile foreign leader while a Republican President was trying to deal with a crisis manufactured by said leader.
Putin's leadership actually seems to leave something to be desired, since a poll just released shows that the Russian people overwhelmingly oppose the invasion of Ukraine, 73% against to 15% in favor. They're not buying his narrative at all.
I must say, though, I have no problem with Giuliani's personal eccentricities. More effeminate conservative men can only be a good thing, if you think about it.
The TeaPublicans can't decide:
"President Obama is such a weak strongman. What’s more, he is a feeble dictator and a timid tyrant.
That, at any rate, is Republicans’ critique of him. With Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Obama’s critics pivoted seamlessly from complaining about his overreach to fretting that he is being too cautious. Call it Operation Oxymoron. [...]
In theory, it is possible for Obama to rule domestic politics with an iron fist and yet play the 98-pound weakling in foreign affairs. But it doesn’t make a lot of sense that one person would vacillate between those two extremes."--Dana Milbank
(But don't tell the TeaPublicans, they can't do "critical thinking.")
"A better explanation is Obama’s critics are so convinced that he is wrong about everything that they haven’t paused to consider the consistency of their accusations." --Dana Milbank
Exactly the sort of thing that happens to deranged people.
Wow, just wow!
This is a complex situation. While ex KGB strongman, now President of Russia desires reassembling the Russian Empire (USSR) caution is advisable. We do not want nor need a new Cold War. At the very least we need European nations solidly behind whatever actions we ultimately take.
Additionally, doesn't it make sense to act calmly and observe the developing situation. Really the Ukraine is not in our sphere of influence. It is in Russia's. Also, 70% of Crimea is Russian speaking and are pro Russian.
INMHO the jury should remain out for awhile.
I must say, IMO posts like this are, if anything counter productive and bordering on the type on expects to see on the looney right wing blogs. But perhaps it is just me. I admit to not being in the best of humor today.
Here's a commie-supporting righwinger cheering on KGB Putin and being against our President:
"Putin can and will kick Obama's skinny ass, and make him look like the laughing stock he is!
Put that in your hat and eat it Libmann."
These are the same morons who say Obama is "shredding the consitution," and at the first sign of tension between America and the commie THEY SUPPORT AND CHEER ON THE COMMIE!
They are effed up!
What about their people who say by a LARGE majority they want Russia in their country?
RN and Anon,
The point and subject of this post is about Rudy Giuliani, a supposed American citizen, praising Putin and insulting our president.
Period.
There's nothing in this post about the "complex situation." It's about a US citizen who should know better than to insult his own country and president during a tense and dangerous situation.
I have the right to call Giuliani out on his anti-American blather, IMO.
I think you, RN, and Anon@12:24 entirely misunderstood what this post is about.
Hmmmm......Former head of the KGB or former community organizer....really,where would you put your chips...
Yes you do Shaw, yes you do.
Have you ever seen me say different.
I understood your point, I expanded on it. Sorry if that is considered inappropriate.
It is not what you said Shaw I have issue with. I do find the delivery somewhat offensive and adolescent. I do have a right to my opinion do I not?
RN, you call it offensive and adolescent, I call it snark or sarcasm. IMO, Giuliani deserved to be mocked. And yes, you're entitled to not like it.
Rusty Shackleford showing his mancrush on the shirtless Soviet ex-KGB strongman.
We understand, Rusty, why certain "guys" swoon over "manly-man-men" like Putie. Could it be fantasies of him shirtless in some black leather boots, threatening you with a whip? You naughty, naughty boy!
RN, the right-wing nutters who have been bashing Obama are not accusing him of being impetuous. They're accusing him of being too timid because he recognizes that it is a "complex situation" and has to be handled carefully. The Republican critics want him to go charging in and do, well, something -- they're not sure what. Like Putin charged into Crimea without thinking things through, which is turning out to be a real mistake.
After years of (absurdly) denouncing Obama as an unaccountable dictator, they are now denouncing him for not being like the real unaccountable dictator, Putin.
That's not a rational position. They just reject everything Obama does.
Shaw, thanks for the links.
Shaw: I have the right to call Giuliani out on his anti-American blather...
That would be Mr. "a noun, a verb, and 9-11", the idiot who, after running around looking heroic on 9-11, ran a failed presidential campaign, and then started a security consulting business... as if being mayor during the 9-11 attacks made him an expert at security - when the fact is that the reason he was running around looking all heroic is because he ignored the NYPD's objections to placing the emergency command center in the WTC.
NYT, 1/26/2008: The New York Police Department produced a detailed analysis in 1998 opposing plans by the city to locate its emergency command center at the World Trade Center, but the Giuliani administration overrode those objections. The command center later collapsed from damage in the Sept. 11 terrorist attack.
And, there is also the fact that the Giuliani administration was warned about problems with NYFD radios in 1993 but did nothing to fix the problem - and Giuliani lied to the 9-11 commission when he said "firefighters heard the orders and heroically decided to stand their ground and rescue civilians".
The International Association of Fire Fighters says "121 firefighters in the north tower didn't get out because they didn't hear evacuation orders" (due to the KNOWN radio communication problem).
It is a horrible joke that Giuliani has been able to use 9-11 (first in his failed attempt to become president) and then to make money off of (security consulting and as a Fox Nooz contributor). That he was running around on 9-11 due to the destruction of the emergency command center should be his shame. That so many firefighters died due to his administration's inaction in fixing a known problem should be his shame. Unbelievably him being mayor on 9-11 is his source of pride (and has made him a LOT of money).
Giuliani was a consistent cheerleader for the bush administration's illegal invasion of Iraq, and now he has the gall to criticize Obama while praising Putin? I agree that with you Shaw about this being "anti-American blather". Giuliani is a pretty loathsome character, IMO.
Any public figure should refrain from criticizing a sitting president when there are global threats. Of course it is acceptable for Carter to do it but he is not well and can be excused.
In times like these it is good to have a president who leads from behind.
I do find it a little disconcerting that a tolerant person from the left has an issue with drag. Guess tolerance has it's limits.
Infidel753, you have the last word. Which is closer to my thoughts than not
Shaw, semantics, a wonderful and useful cover.
Obama is the most something president of my lifetime:
I use caution before using a word like "something" to describe a standing (or sitting, or even supine)president. But when I don't do do, I do do ever so lightly.
It encapsulates how I feel completely, just like a Wind-eze gel encapsulated capsule.
And all you ambidexterites, if you don't like my assessment, you can kiss my Wind-eze encapsulated capsules.
And as a matter of fact, no democRAT party president in my lifetime has ever utilized the these various something somethings and, even when they've used some of them, it's been only a fractel as much as His Munchingly, Obama, has used them. Munch. Munch. Munch.
Sorry, but I disagree with Obama on every single one of his polices, And I don't like blahs. Not at all.
He's an elegant, encouraging, blah-skinned, with it, far centrist, elongated -- the something of the sosmething that the 98-percenters have to offer.
And my questions at the end of this year remain the same: What did this great canary ever do to deserve the likes of Obama and the Hoochie Coochie?
To deserve the current corrupt and extreme-controlled the democrat party period? I guess maybe it's our punishment for being to good to the rest of this freaken world..
And pardon me for the triple posting of my last comment. You can blame it the Bossa Nova.
skud: "I do find it a little disconcerting that a tolerant person from the left has an issue with drag. Guess tolerance has it's limits."
Oh give it a rest, skud. I said nothing derogatory about cross-dressing or with "drag." And you know it. I'm pointing out how "tolerant" the right is when one of their own, "America's Mayor," makes himself look silly.
The drag queens I know are actually gorgeous and funny, while Giuliani is neither.
The right hates President Obama more than they love America. What fools these mortals be.
Well, let's give this situation a little time. I believe we'll be grateful that it's president Obama and not president Romney or McCain.
Unfortunately when it's over the Ukrainian people are still likely to be under the thumb of oligarchs. That won't change.
Does anyone still listen to Giuliani? Other than Donald Trump.
"Does anyone still listen to Giuliani? Other than Donald Trump."
Well, there's FAUX NOOZ and the squirrels in Central Park.
wingnuts' wet dreams over Putin:
"Putin the charmer: he hunts whales with a crossbow. Obama plays golf."
How those righties love those commies!
1) I wish G-man had kept quiet.
2) My view, I wouldn't make fun of the G-man in drag. It's not that it isn't humorous; it is! It's that making fun of anyone's sexuality is no longer PC (unless you are Joan Rivers). These are the sad times we live in :-) Ha!
Absurd for sure ...
Valid points, KP.
But let me explain that I'm not making fun of Giuliani's cross-dressing as much as I'm making fun of his preference for the shirtless Soviet strongman over his own American president.
"disparaging our American president and, thereby, insulting the United States of America."
Wow. Then the Bush years saw a loud and serial insulting of the United States by the angry left!
So, Mr. Baron, you see what the left did to Bush during those years as wrong? How does that exculpate what the rightwingers are doing to Mr. Obama? Acting like the leftwingers they despise? Really?
BTW, I know bloggers and pundits disparaged Bush (in fact, he deserved a lot of criticism for what he wrought as president), but I'm not sure the onslaught of insults came as strongly and consistently from Senators, Representatives, former mayors of major cities and even former vice presidents of the US (Cheney, for example).
It would be interesting to research, but just now I haven't the time
And if it is found this happened with the frequency and vehemence Mr. Obama is experiencing, I'd say why would the Goopers want to emulate something they found so reprehensible?
Are they not capable of being better? Or is the thining they like getting down in the mud as much as the lefties did?
RN said, "
This is a complex situation. ......... caution is advisable. We do not want nor need a new Cold War"
Absolutely not. And it most certainly is complex. It then makes it most amazing that Lindsey Graham,McCain and others...rush to judgement and see Obama's stance of calm deliberation as a weakness, not a strength.
then, Ducky said, "Well, let's give this situation a little time. I believe we'll be grateful that it's president Obama and not president Romney or McCain."
kudos. a sentiment very near what RN said. This SHOULD be a consensus...the situation is complex, is not fully played- and most certainly demands, needs, for a united front from America's legislative collective.
which won't happen, dang it.
Course, President Palin would READ all the news...right?
And SKUD is still speaking from his underwear.
