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.

Not America's Mayor! Giuliani is dirtier than a restroom used by Larry Craig.

At what point, if any, would one be asked to pull his name from the field?

This one's just getting out of control.

I think out of all the candidates the Repugnicans have running, asswipe Rudy pisses me off the most!!!!!!!!!!!

He runs around saying he's "America's Mayor", 9/11 this, and 9/11 that: blah, blah, blah!!

Why do you think the FDNY is so against Rudy!?

The frickin idiot refused federal help when they came in for the clean-up, armed with haz-mat suits and respirators. Rudy threw them off the site: "It's MY city, and I'm in charge!!"

Once the Swiss Bank money was recovered, he let workers in - no protection - and tens of thousands are sick with no help for their medical problems!!

The man should have been put away - he's as corrupt as they come...guess this DOES make him the perfect pres. candidate...but it makes me sicker than usual!!!!!!!!!!!!

What do you expect from someone who constantly proclaims how much he cleaned up the crime in New York? Criminal elites such as Guiliani always hide their crimes behind hypocrisy.

If the government had paid for the rompings of a single poor mother, it would be called "welfare" for cadillac-driving welfare queen. However, since it was for the rompings of "His Excellency" Mayor Rudy, we shall describe it as an expense account.

Wonder how many "secret trips" Bill took on our dime?

[foolme1ns]

It's funny isn't it, that the republicans impeached Bill Clinton for an extra marital affair, but they are perfectly content to have a candidate that not only had an extra marital affair and dumped his wife and children for the whore, but had the balls to charge New Yorkers for his "f*cking" trips.

I guess it is what everyone says. It's okay if a republican does it.

[loki]

Now there is a true Republican.

Let the taxpayer pay for it!!!

Thats the same shit that keeps capitalism alive. Oh, the stock market is down. The rich arent making as much as they'd like.. Let the Taxpayer pay for it!!

Oh, We need to make more money, and we have all this oil, what should we do???
Let the Taxpayer pay for it.

Oh, my business is hurting because I bought golden shower curtains and had 10million dollar birthday parties for my family. What should we do???
Let the tax payer pay for it.

Capitalism, the true socialist program for the wealthy.

America has perhaps the most corrupt govt on earth and people just don't seem to care.

It will bite you in the ass eventually.

BTW, that goes for either Democrat or Republican.
