NYC Comptroller: Giuliani Administration "Stonewalled" Auditors Over Expenses

Politico.com:

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and his senior aides Thursday blamed anonymous bookkeepers for his administration's practice of billing the travel expenses for his personal security detail to obscure city agencies.

But a top aide was unable to say why Giuliani's administration and his successor's rebuffed questions from the city's top fiscal watchdog in 2001 and 2002. City Comptroller William Thompson said Thursday his auditors were "stonewalled" by the Giuliani administration when they inquired about the unusual billing procedures, which he called "disturbing."

Folks, this man is a leading candidate. That should tell you something about the Republican party.

There just isn't enough rouge and lipstick that can make Guiliani look like anything other than the pig he is.

How this man is even in the running for president of the united states is ridiculous. First, his children will not even support him. Second, the man has been married how many times? And when sleeps around on all his wives(forget about the new accounting charges). How are we to believe he will not go behind America's back. Third, look at his pals Kerick and Place. A mobster and an accused child molester. Good company. How can anyone really be behind this human.

Has anyone investigated whether or not man-sized women's clothes are anywhere on Rudy's expenses?

Rudy rented those rooms in the Hamptons in order to investigate a claim that terrorists might poison our nation's supply of bed turn down pillow mints. Rudy was a 9/11 hero even BEFORE 9/11.

By the time this eternal election is over, the candidates will all be exposed as liars, cheats and frauds. They will knock each other silly, while the media rapes them with a fire hose. The last one still staggering around will be president.
