Giuliani On Romney’s Birth Certificate Joke: ‘Not The Most Tasteful Joke’

Source: Mediaite

During an appearance on CNN tonight, former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani reacted to a joke Mitt Romney made during a campaign stop today about the legitimacy of his birth certificate. Piers Morgan asked Giuliani if he thought the joke was “below the belt,” and Giuliani acknowledged that while it was not “a big deal,” it was “not the most tasteful joke” Romney could have made.

Giuliani pointed out that in the past, President Obama has poked fun at the birth certificate controversy, but admitted that it’s a different story when Republicans try to joke about it.

When he ran against David Dinkins, the rallying cry among the outer boro white ethnics was "Fuck the Moolie, vote for Giuli." I know, because I was an outer boro white ethnic at the time. The whole thing was obviously orchestrated, or at least winked at, by the campaign. This is the guy who is raising his eyebrows at the tone of Romney's campaign! The "Fuck the Moolie" candidate, who spent the better part of his mayoralty flogging hatred between New York City's white and non-white working class. He thinks Romney is below the belt.

Dinner (or whatever it is called where they roast and tell jokes). Obama was funny even after giving the order to go after Osama right before the dinner!
