ST. PAUL, Minnesota (CNN) – Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani will have a speaking role at the Republican National Convention, a GOP official tells CNN.
Giuliani was scheduled to deliver the keynote address Tuesday, but Hurricane Gustav forced Republicans to alter the program. Giuliani will speak later in the week.


The rep. are lucky Bush and Cheney could not be on stage.
Guliani looks like yesterday. Whats left?
An old man and a young VP in problems!
What a difference with the Dem. ticket.
Barack for president!
Yes, because it wouldn't be a Republican convention without several gratuitous mentions of 9-11.
Thanks Rudy!
who cares no one will be watching lol
Guliani is a joke. Everytime I see him I am reminded of the worst campaign strategy in recent history. His endorsement is worth nothing.
I'll sum up Guiliani's remarks, so people don't have to be subjected to this fool's entire speech:
"Noun-verb-9/11. Vote for McCain or the terrorists will kill you."
I'm sure he has a whole lot of nothing to say.
I wonder how many times Giuliani will say "911"...
Will Rudy be speaking on the sacristy of marriage or His Heorism during 911?
Ladies and Gentlemen THE CLOWNS are in town.McCain Campagn is becoming a Colossal Joke. CNN can you guys research this story about Hockey Mom wannabe VP Palin: . Eleven days after taking office in 1996, she mailed letters to each of the city's top managers requesting that they resign as a test of loyalty.
Will the real Big Blowhard Doofus please step up! Quit praising this mush mouth for being in the right place at the wrong time (911). He did what would've been expected out of any NY mayor. Give us a break, stop trying to insult our intelligence.
Two facts that prove Palin and McCain are not right for the country are:
1) The Evangelicals are crazy about her adn think she would make a great VP, and:
2) BUSH thinks it's agood idea.
That last one should terrify everyone and get them voting for Obama.
Do they seriously think this is a laughing matter! Protesters are being jailed in St. Paul! We have no freedom of speech – we forfeited it when we elected Bush. The Democrats will own the Whitehouse for 24 years because of what George W. Bush has done to this country, and how he polarized it with his belligerent Redneckism.
"Good Ol' Boys" I don't know which of them is more transparent in their insincerity. They have an Aura of Fake that surrounds them and makes the air stale as you walk in their wake.
Go ahead and have all the Giulianis of this world give speeches at the Republican Convention, it wouldn't make a difference. McCain/Pallin are loosers, so are the Republicans.
I wonder if he'll talk about 9/11.
Hmm, I wonder what his speech will be like...
"9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, Obama unprepared, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, McCain is American hero, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11."
I think this speaks volumes on just who really is at the core of the republican party.
If I were a republican, I would be so dismayed that men like Rudy Giuliani is the best my party has to offer.
"A noun, a verb and 9-11."
McCain and Giuliani have so much in common, they are both scumbags.
Oh my gosh what a stupid pic. Look at how stupid these to old puppets look.
Vote for the fresh, smart, young and the one who is especially because of the lack of the so called (Washington) "Experience" exactly right for this job – Barack H. Obama + Joseph Biden!!!
Talk about yesterday's news. Rudy is totally irrellevant. He's far too liberal for my liking. He won't deliver NY for McCain. The conventions are too long with way too many unnecessary speakers.
Guiliani is a "doofus".
the GOP keynote adress could look like this, if Guiliani talks:
Drill...surge...9/11...drill...pro-life...9/11!
WOW it's breath-taking how much he will offer in his speech.
wow, here is a man with true family values.....not
I wonder what he's got left after same old ...9/11 ...answer to all question. Well it will work since the person he his speacking for has same answer to all questions...I am a POW for 5 1/2 yrs. Pls we want to know what plan McShame has for ur blue collars
Straight talk us we have heard POW story too long.
What a beautiful photo of McCain holding his thought with that notecard, Gramm standing by for his spot-on advice, and Giuliani using his world known strategic skills to motivate all of his numerous supporters to cover McCain's back in one fine evening filled with Republican humor.
lol
