"The guy absolutely ate up the mob when he was a young lawyer"
Apparently he didn't "eat up" the part of the mob connected to Bernie Kerik.
Kerik knows where all the bodies are buried-——he started out as Rooty’s gofer———as his driver and bodyguard.
Wonder what bodies belonging to Rooty Kerik drove and guarded?
“Apparently he didn’t “eat up” the part of the mob connected to Bernie Kerik.”
He’s been eating up alot of Mob money in Nevada campaign donations.
“In Nevada, former N.Y. mayor beats all contenders, including Democratic frontrunner Clinton
By Michael J. Mishak
Republican Rudy Giuliani, the former mayor of New York, pulled large sums of cash from the Fertitta family, owners of the neighborhood casino giant Station Casinos, and a bevy of the company’s executives.”

Now lets see what the background of his big campaign donors look like.
“It all began in the early 20th century when two Sicilian barbers arrived in Galveston from Sicily via Louisiana. Rose and Sam Maceo were soon to build an illegal gambling empire from simple bootlegging roots and become known as Papa Rose and Big Sam. Along with their relatives the Fertitta family, they would control the black economy, the organised crime and the politics of Galveston for many years. One of their more well known illegal casinos was ‘The Balinese Room’ but by the mid 1930’s, and the time that prohibition ended, they had built up an entire city block of illegal casinos and gambling dens in Galveston. Many people feel that they created the Vegas format before Vegas ever existed. Sam Maceo organized for all the big name singers and bands of the time to appear at his casinos, including Frank Sinatra.”

I’m sure the Rats would never raise any questions about why Rooty seems to know so many with Mob connections ?/sarc.
and your evidence Rudy is mob is what ?- or is this more of continued FR speculation meant to torpedo him from the election process.....it's a whisper campaign plain and simple and if I sound annoyed, it's only that as an Italian, the stereotype by white middle class people (be it blue or white collar) is that Italians, regardless of thier achievements are mob tied.....
Yes it's thin skinned but I still to this day hear spaghetti bender, guinea, pizza boy, used as slurs...and as a Protestant Pastor, still face mob related innuendos, which is infuriating since my family started with nothing, and has built our fortunes through hard work to the point Im retired financially at the age of 44.
So that said - rather than pay your nonsense much more heed, I'll say it's boorish and not up to the standard of FR - which disappoints me - because youve been here long enough to know
