original description

At a press conference today, Rudy pulled a bit of a whoopsie, saying: "This is not the time to have somebody who has no executive experience as President of the United States." That's a bit off message, because McCain himself arguably has no serious executive experience -- certainly not recently. The only thing the campaign claims as exec experience was his role running a Navy unit of 1,000 people, a role which some have seen as constituting that sort of background, though others have disputed this. But McCain's political career from 1982 onwards has been entirely in the legislature. And guess who didn't think McCain's Navy work constituted executive experience only a few months ago? Why, Rudy didn't, that's who! In January of 2008, Rudy was asked by Larry King whether he thought he was more qualified in national security than McCain. "I do, Larry, because of my executive experience," Rudy said "But after all, as a senator, John one is one of a hundred," Rudy also said, adding: "I had to make decisions." The kicker: At today's presser, Rudy also alluded to quotes from other Dems during the primary questioning Obama's readiness to be president -- just as Rudy himself, as we have seen, did of McCain.
