Politico editor: It looks like someone helped Rudy 'cover his tracks'

rawstory.com — During Wednesday evening's Republican debate, GOP presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani flatly denied a new report that as mayor of New York he had obscured security expenses during the beginning of an extra-marital affair -- but his explanation leaves a lot to be desired, according to the editor-in-chief of the publication that broke the story.

  • cweathers, on 11/30/2007, -0/+37Rudy's campaign is beginning to collapse. This scandal is big: There should be indictments. And, he certainly looked much less than Presidential in last night's YouTube debate.
  • nsareadthis, on 11/30/2007, -0/+18Ex-NYC Mayor Koch: Giuliani Acted Improperly, Looks Like A Cover-Up: He also argued that providing Judith Nathan her own personal protection (when she was not a member of the first family) constituted an even more flagrant misuse of taxpayer money."

  • SheilaNoya, on 11/30/2007, -6/+19Dang! I was hoping to see the Evangelicals forced to vote for a drag queen who lived with 2 gay men at one time and approves of gay rights.
    Oh well, they can always vote for the other 2 top contenders, like the man who wears magic Mormon underwear, or the former Baptist preacher who thinks the earth is only 6,000 years old. Scary choices all around.
  • loginabove, on 11/30/2007, -0/+8Giuliani's an ass.
    We'll weed this parasite out soon..
    Send his pathetic ass packing.
  • qpn6ph9q, on 11/30/2007, -0/+6The only thing worse for the Republican party than a democrat being elected is if Giuliani gets the nod. He will bring shame and opprobrium on an unprecedented scale when all of these skeletons come rattling out of his sordid closet. If he is put up against Clinton, it is almost like gifting her the presidency. Perhaps that is what they want? Oh crap what a mess.
  • understudy, on 11/30/2007, -1/+7Do you even understand what you're saying?

  • DiggChainey, on 11/30/2007, -0/+5While I usually don't like people who link to other digg threads in the comment section. I just wanted to point out what a TOTAL ASS Giuliani is. Can you imagine him speaking like this to foreign leaders?

  • zorpscorp, on 11/30/2007, -3/+7the wikipedia on him says a bunch of his family were in the mob or other various criminal activities, i don't see why it'd stop at rudy....
  • Identity4, on 11/30/2007, -1/+5..and thats why he fails.
  • inactive, on 11/30/2007, -0/+4Giuliani was already dead in the water, this just makes it happen sooner rather than later.
  • MacSuxWindozSux, on 11/30/2007, -0/+3Those who let others decide, have no freedom.
  • inactive, on 11/30/2007, -2/+5wow, your posts are sounding increasingly desperate and irrational. Sounds like you're really going to pieces. Keep it up!
  • oldhick, on 11/30/2007, -0/+3If this is the best they can digg up on Rudy, then we're screwed. Who really gives a ***** that he gave his mistress protection? I'd do the same thing. And since the politico can't find any more details they claim its a cover up without providing any details. This is a joke. We don't want him to be the next president. So we need something better than mud slinging.
  • pintomp3, on 11/30/2007, -1/+4no wonder rudy came out so heavily against expanding schip, he needs the money to chauffeur his mistresses. will no one think of the mistresses?
  • MacSuxWindozSux, on 11/30/2007, -0/+2Didn't they try to impeach Clinton for less?
  • qpn6ph9q, on 11/30/2007, -0/+2Clinton is more Republican than Romney. I think the fact that her husband (or whatever he is to her) is Democrat has landed her in the wrong party.
  • inactive, on 11/30/2007, -2/+4Rudy Giuliani will lose the nomination.
  • Terr01, on 12/01/2007, -0/+2No. It is not. Because this isn't about Giuliani being a philanderer, it's about Giuliani charging part of his philandering to the NY taxpayer and deliberately hiding the bill.
  • MacSuxWindozSux, on 11/30/2007, -0/+2But he was Mayor at the same time 911 was happening... therefore he automatically has to be president because...

    Sorry I'm still waiting on that last part.
  • Murdats, on 11/30/2007, -0/+2yes but they wont impeach bush for more.
  • halfemptyfilms, on 11/30/2007, -0/+2While Rudy is my least favorite candidate of both parties, lets not forget that this is coming from the Politico... it's not exactly revered for its partiality or journalistic integrity.
  • kreneskyp, on 11/30/2007, -0/+2if they were smart islamists would be supporting giuliani. he'll do way more damage to this country from the inside than they ever can with bombs.
  • donjuan571, on 11/30/2007, -0/+1at least he doesnt take money from corporations linked to middle east oil interests and bin laden associates.
  • moraldebate, on 11/30/2007, -0/+1Perhaps it is made more potent because of their biases, you do realize they are usually right-leaning?
  • donjuan571, on 11/30/2007, -0/+1politico is a respected news outlet asswipe
  • moraldebate, on 11/30/2007, -0/+1In other words: "the more reason and facts you present me, the more I'll shut my eyes and continue to live in my ignorant partisan world"

    By the way, the Politico is a notoriously Right Wing blog jackass.
  • typolad, on 11/30/2007, -0/+1Ron Paul? You mean the guy who takes money from Neo Nazis?
  • pintomp3, on 11/30/2007, -3/+4alan hevesi, comptroller of ny, had to resign and was indicted for using state money to chauffeur his wife around. at least he had a better excuse, she was sick.
  • qpn6ph9q, on 11/30/2007, -0/+1The other problem is that Clinton is more Republican than most of the Republican candidates.
  • nesibus, on 11/30/2007, -1/+2Its normally pretty hard to cover ***** stains.
  • jgerland, on 11/30/2007, -0/+1yeah, but we impeached the last guy for that. this place is messed up.
  • moraldebate, on 11/30/2007, -0/+1lol.
  • odigity, on 11/30/2007, -1/+2This is going to be fun, watching all the neocons get knocked down one by one by their skeletons and lies. Man, everyone saying Ron Paul doesn't have a chance, doesn't have a clue. The man is spotless. While everyone's ratings go down, his can only go up.
  • hittnrun, on 11/30/2007, -0/+1you should know. lol
  • hittnrun, on 11/30/2007, -0/+1uh, yeah, don't believe it unless it comes straight from "Rawstory.com" lol
  • cusoman, on 11/30/2007, -0/+1While his candor leaves a LOT to be desired in that video, let's be fair here... Rudy had no idea that guy had Parkinsons, he never mentioned it on the phone call, not once. I really dislike Rudy too, but don't over over-zealous people.
  • Bulletbillx, on 11/30/2007, -0/+0Then write in a candidate. or vote 3rd party. If everyone who was disgusted did this maybe things would get better.
  • MrTulip, on 11/30/2007, -1/+2this whole mudflinging in the run-up to the u.s. elections is always entertainment (comedy sounds a little awkward in that context) gold for foreigners and bystanders. a mixture between serious, semi-serious (like this one) and totally hilarious issues (rudy caught cross-dressing! wake up america !!1). so keep up the good work, digg, and give us non-u.s.a.-sians the superpower soap opera we've all come to know and love.
    imho the best (for the u.s. and for us rubbernecks - does that word really meanw hat i thinks it means?) would be the victory of some fringe candidates like paul/kucinich.
    the show must go on!
  • slezzzter, on 11/30/2007, -1/+2The republican nomination doesn't matter. Shrillery Rodham will win. It's sad that her opposition will be this numb-nut, Mitt "Pretends-to-be-conservative" Romney, or Mike "Subway-Diet" Huckabee.
    I, for one, am getting sick of these "Lesser of two evils" presidential elections.
  • Acewrap, on 11/30/2007, -4/+4Bu... bu... bu... BUT CLINTON!!!!!
  • dime, on 11/30/2007, -1/+1Clearly, this security was necessary in a post 9-11 world.

    Fight them over there so we don't have to fight them over here, n' all that.
  • daengbo, on 11/30/2007, -2/+0Getting pussy on the side is a much better excuse than "my wife is sick." Geez. Everyone knows that!
  • quaxon, on 11/30/2007, -6/+3Im willing to bet good money the next thing that comes out about rudy is that he fondled little boys who lost their parents in 9/11.
  • hittnrun, on 11/30/2007, -5/+2yep, your hero billy. It must hurt to have your hypocrisy pointed out for even a blind man to see. Makes you POS's stutter every time.
  • Ferretman, on 11/30/2007, -3/+0Wow...yet another "NeoLib scared of Rudy" post.......

    I really don't think this guy is all that much, gang---what are you so scared of?
  • hittnrun, on 11/30/2007, -8/+2Isn't this what Bill Clinton did with Arkansas State Troopers??? You bedwetters had nothing but admiration for HIM. Why a conscience now?
  • leubstop, on 11/30/2007, -8/+1oh please.. i agree with the report rudy is the tefelon candidate, his not so glorious past would have brough any other candidate to drop off.. rudy just keeps on trucking.. in 1 week no one will be even speaking of this
  • inactive, on 11/30/2007, -16/+2Politico and rawstory! What a team! Gotta love the "He didn't admit to what we accused him of despite the fact that we had no ACTUAL proof...that means someone is helping him cover his tracks!"
    Or, that Politico is pathetic.
