Shuster stumps Giuliani: Why are Republicans sticking Bush on the first night of the convention?

In an appearance on Morning Joe, Rudy Giuliani tried to stir a fake controversy over former President Bill Clinton’s speech tonight at the Democratic National Convention. “Are they gonna have him on in prime-time?” Giuliani asked, “or are they gonna do to him what they did to Governor Warner and stick him in two slots earlier.” (Clinton will speak in the 9-10 pm hour ET.) MSNBC analyst David Shuster immediately shot back: “Yeah right, as opposed to sticking him on the first night of the convention like what the Republicans are doing with George W. Bush and Vice President Cheney?”

Host Joe Scarborough asked, “How strange is it that they’re putting the sitting President of the United States on Monday night, Labor Day? Doesn’t that say all that needs to be said about George Bush’s standing in the country?”

1. He also said, when Guiliani was dismissive of the large Invesco Field crowd,

"McCain couldn't draw 80,000. Are you jealous?" Shuster was wonderful — he was really punching.

2. 80,000? McCain couldn't draw 8 people in the cheese aisle of King's!

There were only 6 - and all 6 of them were there to buy cheese.
