Giuliani Under the Microscope

Email this item Email    Print this item Print   
Posted on Nov 30, 2007
Politico video
politico.com

In this Politico video news report, a particularly preppy host (all Capitol Hill style, no doubt) delivers the latest about Giuliani’s alleged use of New York taxpayers’ funds to hook up with his now-wife Judith in the Hamptons—and as it turns out, Rudy apparently hooked Judy up with her own “police driver and city car” before she was officially known as his extramarital side dish. 

We also hear about Democratic Rep. John P. Murtha’s claims that the U.S. troop surge in Iraq might be working, as well as about Barbra Streisand’s pronouncement that she backs Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.  Preppy Anchor, meanwhile, makes sure to tell us that he’s wholly unfamiliar with the majority of Streisand’s musical oeuvre—now, why would he take the trouble to air that little personal factoid?  Hmmm.

Watch it:

what i really do not grasp is the following:

in most countries where i lived, intentional removal or destruction of potential evidence from a crime scene, is interwoven with criminal law, making it a serious violation.

Is this different in the New York State, i.e. the USA?

And no, is Rudolf Giuliani not personnally guilty of such violation?

He after all orchestrated a suspiciously swift removal and exportation overseas for destruction, of all the remains of the WTC. It is notorious that anyone who tried to obtain samples, or gaining access for the purpose of forensic analysis, was refuse access, and in some cases was forcibly removed.

In the affirmative, is there no legislation in the USA disqualifying any candidate accused of,  prosecuted for, or in fine condemned for such violation ?

Guiliani is such a liberal, unworthy candidate.

Gay marriage?

Pro-Baby death?

C’mon!  Fred Thompson is the way to go!

Rudy Giuliani is nothing more than a corrupt, mobbed-up (think Bernard Kerik), venal, politician.

“Giuliani Under the Microscope” - that’s a view no one is going to want to see - not even Rudy.

Amazing that the press still tags along as if he is a credible person to be President.

Let’s tag along after someone who shows some honor and integrity.  Someone who was right BEFORE the Iraq War.

Someone who has the guts to ask “Why does the Mideast hate our guts?”  Instead of strutting around threatening to kick ass if some country does not cow tow down to us.

We’ve caused enough,no more than enough loss of life over lies.

We’ve lost our way.

Ask Rudy why he flew to Israel w/in just days after 9/11 when he had so much on his plate here?

“Preppy Host” just happens to be James Kotecki, the first person to ever interview a presidential candidate (Ron Paul) from his dorm room. YouTube it, it’s a great interview. He did bits with several other candidates as well.
