Giuliani's act of love sets off GOP furor

Source: Politico

Rudy Giuliani’s love life is causing trouble for the White House.

In a move that blindsided the West Wing and sent Hill Republicans into a tizzy, the president’s personal attorney is throwing his support behind an obscure House candidate in Louisiana trying to take out incumbent GOP Rep. Clay Higgins. But the bizarre tale of Giuliani’s interest in an off-the-radar congressional race only begins there.

It turns out the ex-New York mayor’s new girlfriend, GOP fundraiser Jennifer LeBlanc, is working for the Republican challenger in the race, Josh Guillory. LeBlanc had been on Higgins’ payroll until late last year when she abruptly parted ways with the congressman.

"We have a National Enquirer-type situation going on down in Louisiana's 3rd Congressional District," said state Attorney General Jeff Landry, a Higgins backer who hails from the area.

Just blow up his face to life size, print it out, and poke holes in each side for a string to tie it onto your face before you go out trick-or-treating.

No wonder some call him Ghouliani.

EEEEEUUUUUWWW!

In Rudy's case there wasn't much to begin with.

Rudy's on the loose and sowing some wild oats.

I live in that area of the country.

It seems that some dark red constituents are might unhappy with Higgins because of all reps in the U S House, Higgins is one of the biggest spenders (meaning he signed on to more $$$ in House bills than most other reps), and it looks like he's been one of the biggest recipients of lobbying money, leading one to conclude that it was tit for tat, since Repubs don't normally go bonkers over bills that spend a lot of money. The unhappiness with Higgins is something like that, from what I gather.

So he has some vulnerability. How much, I don't know.

He's a super redneck with a round head, who wears big cowboy hats a lot. Which pretty much describes the area.
