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.

"Auditors 'were unable to verify that these expenses were for legitimate or necessary purposes,' ..."

Does the IRS know about this?

If he received extra income for his extra-marital activities but didn't report and pay taxes on it, he could have some tax problems.

Anyone want to be a snitch?

Ladies and gentlemen.­..

Now approaching, in flames and inverted, it's 'America's Mayor' diving straight for the tarmac, pedal to the metal. Let's give him a great round of applause -- and make it LOUD, so it's the last thing he hears before impact.

When it comes to foreign policy, I'm excited. The option in 2008 may be between Rudy or Hillary. The choice is "clear".

We New Yorkers knew Rudy was using taxpayers dollars for private security for his then whore;now wife Judy Nathan and her adopted daugther (who like Rudy kids hate her also).If the press do their homework they'll find more insteresting things about Rudy that we New Yorkers know already.He speaks of being a crime fighter, but his own father was connected to the MAFIA and did several stints in the BIG HOUSE for various crimes.Rud­y is a fool to run, sometimes its better to live the myth, than the truth that will be revealed.R­udy belives his own press, that will be his downfall.

Economy 101

When you based a enconomy - like the massive land - resourse run
of the begining of the mainfest destiny - of the 1500's - and apply
that massive movement - to a limited resourse economy - after the first
massive movement.

You will overload the system - take a pie - there is only so much to
that pie - and after eating away at that pie - trying to build a low
class of worker's off that eaten pie - you will see sales sore at first
- but then comes the crash.

Now you have created a welfare state - over eating on that pie.

So building golden calfs - may pay off in the short term - Then comes
- the fall - and the money has to be put back at the bottom - to hold up
those idiotic enough to think - they can trikle down money.

Just like a top - it spins fast at first - but sooner or later - it falls.

Low wage jobs - out weighing - top higher jobs - The People will rise up against.

They no longer have hope - when the nightmares out weight the dreams of hope.

Does not the rich-greedy - ever learn - all they had to do was read history.

Hey. Quit picking on Rudy. He's the reason there's no crime in NYC.

How 'bout we just tro da bumbs out. All of 'em!

[bluesnot]

Edwards looked good in his speech at the writers' strike. (See video on HuffPost)

The strike is dragging on.

[williamg]

Gotta get my puppet video together for tonights debate asking Rudy why he made the taxpayers pay for his romps with his fluzzie. I would also like to ask him why he gave up on the comb-over thing.

[Ginzaman]

And despite seeing this right in front of them there are STILL brain-dead neocons that say, Rudy's our guy!

[FiddleDD2]

The Repubs don't care about this...thi­s is their entitlement spending. Frankly, they are just glad he wasn't wear a diaper.

Another Judy will be the one the the goods on Rudy.

[rollingdivision]

More extraneous issues. This is just as important as the Senator Clinton tipping issue. Giuliani had security required due to the fact he was mayor of NYC it should have been paid for by the city. How it was charged within the city budget is inconsequential.

[JohnKemp]

Damn, the libs are terrified of Rudy, & this nonsense proves it.

So we're mightily concerned about expense accounts & their minimal dollars?

I mean give me a damn break.

[booker52]

This slezey shit wants you to vote for him. No way. The gall of this guy and his weekend affair that he has now married. If he can do this to the folks of NY, he won't think twice about doing it to the people of the US. This man will not be getting my vote. He wasn't anyway, this just reinforced my opinion.
