On the back of 9/11, Rudy Giuliani refashioned himself as a national hero, a top presidential candidate-and, through his consulting firm, Giuliani Partners, became a very wealthy man. But the questionable backgrounds of some of the firm's clients make one wonder what Rudy wouldn't do to make a buck.

    He has so many flip flops he should go to the beach. He has the opinion of the moment depending on the political climate. I don't trust anything and have no idea where he stands on any issue.

      The only issues he stands for are, greed, dishonesty, and corruption.

    Rudy Ghouliani reminds me of a seedy used car salesman who will be only too happy to sell you that old clunker for just twice what it is worth. He's an opportunist par excellence. He is not presidential material in any way.

    I would not trust him any further than I could throw him.

      Is he JulieAnnie, or just the little Scaramouche that he seems to be... we'll see how his own end comes.

      A crook of the first magnitude who leaves a mile-wide paper trail behind him.

      Sounds like he could be the first President to be impeached on his Inauguration Day.

      Someone should sell the film-rights to that scenario - unless Giuli's boys already have!

      Hey - did he think of selling Brooklyn Bridge again yet??

        FADE UP: Footage of the airplanes flying into the WTC (repeat it a few times in slow motion and from all angles for those who were too young to remember) Dissolve to still pictures of Rudy taking charge with the smoke, ashes, and rubble around him. Superimpose title: Rudy Giulani, a true American hero. Cut to: film of Iraqui Insurgents raising hell in Iraq (It's important that people keep thinking that Iraq planned 9/11. Avoid any reference to the fact that the highjackers were Saudis) Play some sound bytes of Rudy at his patriotic best. Superimpose behind him footage of the American flag flying proudly behind him. Bring up title at bottom of screen: Giulani For President!

        FADE TO BLACK:

        We need a much stronger person to be President.

          "We need a much stronger person to be President"

          Giuliani is a STRONG person - strongly opportunistic

          strongly dishonest

          strongly self-cantered

          strongly immoral

          strongly corrupt

          I've been saying that in my comments for months now, maybe some will start listening

          I can't get past the most recent revelation, that the NYC tax payers had to unknowingly pay for the protection of the then Mayor Giuliani's mistress at the time.

          If he could not be honest with his wife and just ask for a divorce, then how truthful would he be with the American people?

          Thanks Mark, interesting article.

            Rudy or Hillary: Pick Your Poison

            Politics รข;; Meet the Only Two Candidates Worse Than Bush and Cheney. Both Hillary and Rudy are committed to war. Both refuse to rule out expanding war to Iran and beyond. Both are totally in the pocket of the Israel Lobby. Both defend police state measures that "protect us from terrorism." Neither gives a hoot for the US Constitution.

                This man is not the future of the Republican party. I wish the media would stop focusing on him, and Mitt too, and stop acting like it is ineviatble that one of them is going to be the Rep. nominee. No one I know wants either one of them, there are much better choices in the second tier candidates. The Dems even offer better options than those two. The only person worse is Hillary.

                Go Obama!

                  Extremely sad when you look at those running for our highest office. Choosing the least of the worst is not the American dream. Cronyism, pork barrel politics, lobbyist, graft, corruption and power is the order of the day in Washington D.C.

                  Personally I'm sick of it and Americans should also be!!

                  Things are starting to implode around his candidacy. Olbermann cited some polls last night that Ghouliani has dropped a quarter of his support nationally because of this "sex in the city" scandal. But there are a whole lot worse stuff out there that is much more damaging. Hope his rivals pound him with some of these relavations until he disappears from the presidential race.

                    Who cares about what he did on 9/11? A stupid thing to base your vote on. Any other mayor would've done and said the same thing. Doesn't make him better than anyone else.

                        It would have been enlightening to have secured the criminal evidence from 9-11. After all it was the worst aviation disaster, the worst architectural disaster and the greatest mass murder to have ever occurred in modern American history. One would think it might be useful in avoiding future architectural disasters to analyze the failures of the WTC steel considering these were the first steel framed building to ever collapse due to fire. Many universities asked for samples of WTC steel for analysis but were denied. Unfortunately this crime scene evidence was instead quickly shipped off shore for disposal by former criminal prosecutor Rudy Guiliani.

                              So according to this crook, any person who was the mayor of NYC on 9/11 is qualified and entitled to be the next President.

                              That sounds like another GWB.
