    Nothin' To See Here, Folks; Move Along...

    So...Rudy Giuliani is loyal to his pals to the detriment of the law, ethics and morality? What else is new?

    Giuliani is a "politician"...having all the worst attributes of that label: he wants to win at all costs, he cares little for the legalities of a situation and his ethics/morals come second..or a distant third...to simply doing the right thing.

    As for his friendship with Alan Placa...along with his "cafeteria Catholic" religious persona...it reinforces the reality that Giuliani is a wheeler-dealer who plays fast and loose with the truth. We already have one of those as President.

    Giuliani is simply George W. Bush with a lisp.
