Rudy sure knows how to 'milk' the system. After all, you can hide ANYTHING under the guise of 'security'. It would be hard to find another candidate with as much baggage as Rudy.

Heck, I bet that even SLICK is impressed with Rudy's ability to cheat on his wife, FLAUNT IT,,,,and milk the system while doing it!!!

I’ve gotta know, are you a Thompson supporter and, if so, did you predict that way back in 1997 when you chose your screen name?

As someone willing to vote for Giuliani in the general election, I think he is a goner (assuming this report is true).

He owes the public a good explanation. Could be just to avoid chatter in the office about his personal life, if the billing pattern used resulted in different people processing the expenses, instead of one person or group if the billings had all been routed to the main “mayor’s office” account. Not too clear what the meaning is of “units of the mayor’s office”. If these are just subsets of the mayor’s office, I’m not sure why they would each need separate budgets and maybe they didn’t. If they did each have separate budgets, did they get billed for a portion of expenses each time the mayor went on some public outing that was related to a given unit’s function, but also related to other things?

I don’t have a problem with public figures getting taxpayer-funded security details for personal activities. Someone like a mayor of NYC is very definitely a target, and it would get pretty hard to find people willing to take these positions if they had to spend a couple hundred thousand a year in extra security costs just to stay reasonably safe while doing whatever they would normally be doing in their personal time (other thatn the occasional billionaire who gets an urge to take a huge pay cut and put up with all the crap that public office entails). But pending some good explanation, this sounds like a deliberate attempt to conceal expenses, and that is definitely not okay for public figures to do with taxpayers’ money.

RG proved once again that when it comes to women, most men are incredibly dumb.

It’s time to bury this liberal crook so Republican voters can focus in on the other candidates...

It is looking like the nomination is going to narrow down to Romney, Huckabee, and Thompson. If this pans out then Rudy is OUT.
