Rudy's Camp Lies to WaPo

In a post yesterday, you learned about Rudy's desire to live by a different set of rules than MoveOn.org. Today, his camp is lying about it!

In a write-up over at the Washington Post by Michael Shear, Rudy's spokesperson had this to say:

"Our ad not only met the acceptability standards of The New York Times, but it was placed at the standby rate with no commitment it would run on a specific date."

However, in direct conflict to this statement is Hizzoner himself. Check it out here. In Rudy's own words, he DEMANDS that his ad run in that Friday's New York Times at the SAME rate he had already criticized MoveOn for receiving. He sounds like an angry little kid demanding an equal share of a piece of chocolate, NOT a Presidential candidate.

Good luck with the suit Lane, Rudy says he will not pay the difference like MoveOn has.
An in-kind political donation from the NYTimes. Go figure!

Does anyone really believe that Rudolph Giuliani wants to be President in order to serve the public? What has choices has he made that haven't been about accumulation of wealth and attention. Words like parvenu, showboat, nouveau riche and ultimately, just plain tacky come to mind. The "phone call from Judy" trick -- which bears all the earmarks of something he thought up himself...otherwise, why the colossal overplay of doing it twice (or as George Will would have it, three times) -- says everything we need to know about how Mr. Giuliani views his integrity and the seriousness of his desire to serve the American people on resolving serious issues like guns.

And we are surprised why? One more Republican politician doing what he does best, lying.

And democrats? Those bastions of symbolic black lynchings (Clarence Thomas), money in freezers, Nevada land deals, ad nauseum. Politicians are all alike so no use fooling yourself.

Yes, Rudy is the typical petulant little boy, he runs through friends and women, and only remembers he has a family when it suits him.
