RUDY: LATE, LATE, LATE
Thu Jul 19 2007 09:39:37 ET
Mayor Rudy Giuliani is developing a new theme on the campaign trail: He's late to his events!
It's a theme that's fast becoming an issue for both the press who cover him and the voters who wait around for his events.
Yesterday, IOWA RADIO reported: "Giuliani's theme of the day is judicial philosophy. But being on time is not one of the 12 commitments. He's now 15 minutes late."
Back in June, influential DES MOINES REGISTER reporter David Yepsen reported: "Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani showed up 50 minutes late for a speech. That's rude. Giuliani and his people offered no explanation for why a speech scheduled for 10:30 a.m. didn't come off until 11:20."
And it's not just in Iowa that Giuliani is showing up late.
In May he was a half hour late to a New Hampshire event at Keene insurance company's headquarters.
And in June, Giuliani showed up late to the annual meeting of the Airport and Seaport Police in Washington, DC.
Giuliani's increasing tardiness is reminding some of one former president: Bill Clinton!
