The best line of last night's debate was made Joe Biden, when talking about Rudy Giuliani's experience to be President...
I mean think about it, Rudy Giuliani, there’s only three things he mentions in a sentence — a noun and a verb and 9/11 and I mean, there’s nothing else. There’s nothing else.For proof, just look at how Rudy answered a question about aids while campaigning in Cedar Rapids over the summer.

Since this seems to be my "Republican appolgist" day, maybe I should point out that Rudy Guiliani (unlike most of the Democratic candidates) actually has exective experience. That execuative experience came while representing a larger voting constituency then Dodd, Biden, Richardson, or Edwards.
Is Rudy Guilani qualified? Certainly from a foreign policy perspective, it seems not. But then, the argument could be(and has been) made that neither are Sen. Obama or Edwards.
Biden makes an -excellent- point that this is hardly the time to elect someone who will require on-the-job training when it comes to foreign policy. But if he's going to be honest with the voters he should level the attack at all who deserve it.
Biden's point is that the only thing Rudy is campaigning on is 9/11. This is demonstrated by him equating everything to 9/11 when he is asked about other issues.
"There's only three things he mentions in a sentence: a noun and a verb and 9/11."
The crowd laughs with scattered applause. The Blogs call it the best line of the night.
The largest act of terrorism ever. 300 people dead. A Nation horrified and brought to a standstill.
Now, to the Left and the Democrat Candidates, the punch line for a joke.
You can't seriously be construing Biden's comment to be using 9/11 as the punchline to a joke. First, the comment wasn't a joke, it was a realistic observation. Even if it were a joke, the punchline is Giuliani, not 9/11 itself. Second, and more importantly, who has capitalized on 9/11 more than Giuliani? The man constantly brings up 9/11 in all of his speeches to remind us that we are in "constant danger," and had better elect a Republican if we don't want to die a fiery death at the hands of an invisible enemy. Giuliani's game - fearmongering - is a dirty, disgusting, distasteful political ploy.
