Giuliani's wealth

Giuliani is a wealthy man, he has an embarrassment of rich problems and skeletons in his closet.

Crooks and Liars looks at some of the newer ones.

Giuliani is the first thrice-married serial adulterer to ever even run for president, a fact that most reporters have ignored entirely. When the Village Voice reported a few months ago that Giuliani kept his emergency command center in 7 World Trade Center, in part so he could maintain a convenient love nest for his extra-marital affairs, the media, once again, yawned.

...

And how about this.

As New York mayor, Rudy Giuliani billed obscure city agencies for tens of thousands of dollars in security expenses amassed during the time when he was beginning an extramarital relationship with future wife Judith Nathan in the Hamptons, according to previously undisclosed government records.

The documents, obtained by Politico under New York’s Freedom of Information Law, show that the mayoral costs had nothing to do with the functions of the little-known city offices that defrayed his tabs, including agencies responsible for regulating loft apartments, aiding the disabled and providing lawyers for indigent defendants.

And then there are the issues with his business, as covered by the Village Voice.

So with all of this, how long can the magic in the words nine eleven last for him?

And with Romney stumbling, it seems to put Huckabee is place to hope, unless McCain can muscle himself out to the front again

Huckabee is scary. He is a conservative through and through. He may smile all the time, but he isn't friendly to gays, to reproductive rights, to science, and so many other things. It is a smile that hangs on a harshly conservative frame. If he stays up front about what he is, at least it might be an interesting debate about where people want the country to go...sorry, I was dreaming for a moment. The attack ads will come, and the media will play up whatever story seems fun and easy to push. Matthews does love to laugh during his show, and he does love mocking the Democratic candidate.
