Records Reveal Giuliani Used Tax-Payer Funds For Secret Hamptons Trips

Politico:

As New York mayor, Rudy Giuliani billed obscure city agencies for tens of thousands of dollars in security expenses amassed during the time when he was beginning an extramarital relationship with future wife Judith Nathan in the Hamptons, according to previously undisclosed government records.

The documents, obtained by Politico under New York's Freedom of Information Law, show that the mayoral costs had nothing to do with the functions of the little-known city offices that defrayed his tabs, including agencies responsible for regulating loft apartments, aiding the disabled and providing lawyers for indigent defendants.

All the Repugnican candidates are pukes.
They all pander to the religious right wackos who would rather have a theocracy instead of our Constitution.

I am watching their dog and pony show (the "debate") while I am posting this and all of them make me nauseous. All of them stand against all that made America great in the past.

Ok, so in August & Sept, prior to the 9/11 attacks, Rudy does the Hampton drag...

Curious thing, this timing. This is around the EXACT same time that upper echelon FED employees were warned off of flying commercial jets. So, is it too hard to stretch the imagination that the top dog in the city to be crushed by terrorism was warned also to conveniently disappear?

Coincidence? Methinks the Nathan rhumba began before this, but this was Rudy's get out of dodge on 2 levels - escalation of his rhumba and a way to possibly avoid something that was coming but at an undetermined date.

This timing needs to be addressed separately from the false billing of personal expenses.

JMO...

I managed to catch a glimps of the 'debates'...isn't a debate supposed to be between pro and con sides to determine who is right?

This is more of a question and answer question, with a few seconds for theatrics thrown in...

Anyhoo...what a bunch of stupid war mongering, backward thinking, hypocritical, scared shitless morons these conservative republicans are...

Honestly, what is the cause for the existence of such idiots?

Nothin' but an empty-headed power broker who couldn't find his ass with both hands handcuffed behind his back. Hopefully we'll get to witness physical evidence of that fact in the near future. Keep them cuffs tight, he's slimy enough to slip out.

Rude-E is a fool and useless.

The repukes are so stupid! They applauded when Mitt said waterboarding isn't torture. They applauded when McCain said it was.

Sheesh 24 isn't real!!

Another Republican definition of "Family values"?

Hey "Evangelicals", what about:

"Thou shalt not commit adultery"
and
"Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's spouse"

Sorry, I'm back. GOD, they all suck. Crime went down in NY because there were fewer crimes by kids, cuz there were fewer kids.

Just another F'kin dishonest bastard.

Cannibal Restaurant A cannibal was walking throug the jungle & came upon a restaurant operated by a fellow cannibal. Feeling somewhat hungry, he sat down & looked over the menu...
+ Tourist: $5
+ Broiled Missionary: $10
+ Fried Explorer: $15
+ Baked Democrat or Grilled Republican: $100
The cannibal called the waiter over & asked, 'Why such a price difference for the politician?'The cook replied, "Have you ever tried to clean one? They're so full of shit, it takes all morning."

Anyone bored with this routine Rudy bashing (fun but getting old) may want to check out this link to Stan Goff of huffpo

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/stan-goff/the-cia-plan-to-destabili_b_74557.html

He makes a wild assertion that another coup against Hugo Chavez by our CIA is underway NOW.
That it will continue to unfold, building momentum to their referendum this Sunday.

Destabilization efforts and a massive media/propaganda campaign are under way with more to follow.

Fox news is already helping out with a violent photo with a headline about riots in Venezuela on its site.

Off Topic:

Keith O's Show Tonight discussed Rudy's ties to a member of the Qatar Royal Family who has ties to terrorists. Is this Royal Family member a client of Rudy's business? Rudy was in their country to do business.

Suggestion from Keith's Show for a Rudy Bumper Sticker:

RUDY, WHO IS ON YOUR CLIENT LIST?

Hmm, a Republican in a scandal involving a member of the opposite sex and a consenting adult to boot? I'd suggest you let this one pass. It probably won't happen again.
