Guliani was about to muff it...

Stop the ACLU catches Rudi slipping as he is saved by the phone call from his wife...

“After all the second amendment is a freedom every bit as important as the other freedoms in the first ten amendments. Just think of the language of it — ‘the people shall be secure’ –let’s see, this is my wife calling…”

Whoops... lots of places you can slip up on the language of the Second Amendment, but it's not a good idea when addressing an NRA conference!

Michelle Malkin at Hotair is on the story, too, and notes that Rudi has a habit of being interrupted by phone calls from his wife during a campaign speech.

Perhaps the wife-calling-during-the-speech routine is his prearranged bit to make him look like an ordinary guy, or an attempt to lighten the mood or whatever. I heard a sound clip of it on the radio, and it did sound very awkward. If she knew he was giving the talk (which she surely had to) why would she call right at that moment? And why did he have his cell phone on? And even if he had it on, why didn't he just silence it, or ignore it? I used to do a hell of a lot of public speaking in my previous career, all over the country, and when I went up onto the stage or podium, I never had my cell phone with me, or in the even that I did, I made sure it was off, because I wasn't going to answer it anyhow - it seems odd and rude to answer a cell phone when you've got a hundred or so people sitting there waiting to hear what you've got to say.
