Let's start an oppo research thread on Giuliani

[rinsd]

Since Rudy seems to be the man at this point, I thought we should start compiling negative information on him.

Post anything you got from the serious (ie: his nazi-like policies in NYC, his ineptitude on 9/11 etc.) to the silly (ie: his nasty divorce, his crossdressing adventure with Trump etc).

C'mon DU let's let Rudy have it!

1. OK - but you should be starting one on Fred Thompson.

If he jumps in, it's his.

3. OK let's do one for Fred Thompson too.

5. Cancer Man? Don't think so. If you want to start one on FT, you should start one.

2. I wouldn't worry about Rudy

If he gets the nomination, the hard core right will NOT vote for him. Take a gander over at Free Republic if you doubt me. They're way more negative on him than people are here on Hillary.

4. HRC is the one candidate that would unite the right behind Giuliani

Against HRC he will get nearly universal Republican support.

6. Rudy's personal life will eventually drag him down--people might

accept the mistress-now-wife and cross-dressing gags in the abstract, but when confronted with this as our prez, they will shy away.

7. Here's what else:

--Firefighters in NY not happy with him for scrapping the Ground Zero recovery effort while they were still searching for remains.

--Tied to Bernard Kerik (crooked)

--Father spent time in the pokey

8. My biggest beefs with Rudy

are his opening the juvenile record of an unarmed man a cop had killed ("when you die, your right to privacy goes with you"), and his planning to disburse to 9/11 contributions to the the city in March!

9. Tried to stay on as mayor even after Bloomberg's election!

Egomaniac thought his city "needed" him too much, I guess!

10. Here's the Rudy crossdressing for Trump video

11. Seen Judi lately?

They started as a "Buy one get one free" team. After the flap over her sitting in on cabinet meetings, her forgotten third husband, and her job as a puppy killer for US Surgical, she's completely disappeared.

Judi can't be hidden forever. She'll eventually bring him down.

On edit - just saw this in Liz Smith's column in the NY Post:

On edit - from Liz Smith in NY Post:

Here's the rumor du jour on Rudy Giuliani and his snappy and with-it wife Judi. 'Tis said that Mrs. Giuliani has on several occasions sent Rudy's estranged two (almost grown) children Bibles as gifts. The other part of the story? That the children have always sent them back.
