At this point it’s safe to say that Rudy Giuliani’s campaign won’t be sunk by any one scandal. There are just too many. His personal circle is comically bent – there’s a pedophile priest, a terrorist shiekh, a couple of cocaine traffickers, money launderers and Bernie Kerik. It’s like a post-millennial Legion of Doom. He rejected advice against putting his emergency coordination center in the most targeted site in New York, apparently to use it as a crash pad for illicit affairs that he was billing to the city. There’s the small matter of gear failures that killed firefighters on 9/11. He can’t open his mouth without lying.
With catastrophe, death, sex and corruption under Giuliani’s belt, today’s news almost seems like a yawner.
On the presidential campaign trail, former Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani often promotes the installation of electronic monitoring devices at the border to stem illegal immigration, without mentioning that until a few months ago, he was partner in a company trying to market such technology.
An optimist Republican thinks that Rudy! best represents the party in ’08. A pessimist Republican fears that might be true.
***Update***
Almost forgot Poland Grodd.
Then we could talk about Giuliani’s foreign policy team. Or, Chalabi-style, we could send a twice indicted two-bit exile con artist to swindle their money. The site could use some new servers.
