Rudy has more to worry about beyond sex on the city dime, Harpers has it
Edited on Tue Dec-04-07 01:14 PM by caligirl
They cite a couple of business deals and a speaking engagement that happened in a long string of business transactions with questionable figures and dealings. It seems a file went missing and ended up in the hands of reporters.

"In the businesses that Giuliani built and bought these last six years, more deals have yet to be examined, more dots connected in the picture of his great financial success. But enough are there already, with lines between them, for a shape to have clearly emerged. It’s a picture of a politician leading a parade, as Mayor Giuliani so often did. Only the marchers behind him aren’t drum majorettes or wartime veterans or firefighters or police. They’re a ragtag band of Texas lawyers and energy lobbyists, penny-stock sharpies and security-industry entrepreneurs, agog with visions of the ultimate pay-to-play presidency."

His connections to the California electoral college scheme are only the latest of his unethical and possibly illegal business ventures.

1. Here's the deal: The Ghoul is not one to be easily embarrassed or shamed
Any candidate who has his wife call in on the cell during stump speeches, is a fool who is his own worst enemy.

Ghoulie won't withdraw unless the GOP pushes the envelope on him on the sly.

(ps == it's "cite" not "site" :hi: )

3. Just a friendly note: Harper's or Vanity Fair ?


You mention Harpers in the title.. the link is to Vanity Fair.

Both are great and toss in Atlantic Monthly as a third great mag.
