    the politics of personal destruction

    the politics of personal destruction at their finest.

    Isn't there anything substantial you can say about or of Giuliani ?

    He employs an old friend as consultant ? Who has never been even charged, not to mention convicted, of any crime ? Who is possibly anonymously mentioned in an obscure report of an institution best known for beeing able to indict ham sandwiches ?

    And even assumed (a remote, slim chance) that those more than 20 years old unsubstantiated allegations are true - do you really advocate a lifelong ban on any work for anyone ever accused of something like this ?

    I'm no fan of Giuliani, but this smear piece of an article, and by extension its authors, disgsts me.
