Rudy skips minority debate to fundraise with Bo Derek

[LaStrega]

From Robert Greenwood:

Dear activists, colleagues and friends,
We can imagine how busy Rudy is. Running for president while distorting your record on 9/11, takes a lot of time and energy. So I can't say we were surprised to learn that Rudy (plus Romney, Thompson and McCain) was too busy to attend Thursday night's debate on minority issues hosted by Tavis Smiley.

But where was Rudy going? John Ehrenfeld, a BNF field producer, volunteered to track him down. Turned out he would be right here in Southern California accepting an endorsement from widely discredited Pete Wilson, who's known for exploiting racial division for votes, and pushing the horrible proposition 187. Then off to a $2300-a-plate fundraiser at the Biltmore Four Seasons in Santa Barbara with Bo Derek.

John attended the "open to anyone" endorsement announcement, but was quickly escorted out when they learned he was from Brave New Films! (Read John's blog about the whole event) Quietly though, Phillip snuck through and got the full deal on tape. Always send two people!

So here's the WHERE'S RUDY video:

Got any ideas for what Rudy's excuse SHOULD have been? Have some fun, and post a comment:

Please forward this email and video on to your friends, family and colleagues. And The REAL Rudy, part two is coming soon!

1. Hell - can't fault a man for that. Well, except that he's running for President, I mean.

2. When I saw your subject line, I thought this was going to be a joke.

Actually, I suppose it is.

But you left out Dennis Miller!

Three reporters. Man, that is some kind of drawing power.

According to the numbers on the clip, only about 50 or so showed up at the fundraiser.

11. Yes she is beautiful, though I know nothing of her ideology ...

However the vacuous part is pretty apparent.

Thanks for the welcome!

4. How revealing....Rudy was rude to skip the event......selfCentered example of the GOP that he is

[spirit of wine]

8. Rudy might as well announce

that Fred Thompson should be his running mate. Then they can both take target practice at who's campaign can shoot themselves in the foot quicker. I am a registered independent and just feel that the country will not even stomach another four years of republican hypocrisy no matter who they think they are fooling, not any more. The political pendulum is swinging the other way, and the momentum seems too much to stop it again from glazing our concerns over. But we've seen this before.

9. He Can't Take Fred As His Running Mate ... They Are Both From The Same State...

Wait... Arthur Branch is from New York not Fredrick Of Hollywood...

[judaspriestess]

10. did he get a phone call in the middle of his speech

there too?

What an asshole

[Mrs. Overall]

13. And what connection will he find between Bo and the events of 9/11?

[Cha]

14. Hard to imagine but

bo derek got Dumber over the years..poor poor little bo..her corn rows musta been too tight.

[AlCzervik]

15. shopping for wife number #4?

[LaStrega]

18. heh heh heh ....

mayhap her cornrow tightness edged into his ... I'll stop there.

I'm currently Skyping with an Egyptian ... he's a nice guy ... highly educated and ... as I found from the Skype peeps in Africa are way more ... willing to speak their mind than folks from Turkey and Syria.

This is an ongoing conversation, if you would like to be a party to such load Skype and search fer me and my Middle Eastern friends.

17. Does Rudy have "Bolero" on his iPod?
