Is Giuliani the Best the Pathetic Republicans Can Do?

Giuliani is the best we can do? Cross-dressing, thrice-married Rudy Giuliani? The guy with the 'dream team' of consultants that includes David Vitter, a family-values, prostitute-visiting former New Orleans Congressman, and Thomas Ravenel, a cocaine-dealing, South Carolina ex-state treasurer? The same dream team that includes a suspended Catholic priest who also was the lawyer for a pedophile sex-ring? Priest and lawyer Alan J. Placa annulled Giuliani’s first marriage, baptized two of Rudy’s kids and was even the officiant at Rudy’s mom's funeral. Both Placa and Guiliani dated Regina Peruggi, Rudi's most recent wife. In 1982, Placa came up with a way to cancel Rudy's existing 14-year marriage. Since Peruggi and Giuliani were cousins, Placa decided they should have obtained a special dispensation from the church before marrying. This was ironic, because it was Placa who advised the couple before their wedding that they didn't need special dispensation. Placa was finally outed in 2002 in Newsday by victims as a member of a Catholic priest pedophile sex ring that posed as a 'counseling house.' Multi-million-dollar lawsuits were filed, criminal investigations began, and Placa was suspended from the church. Giuliani immediately hired Placa, and Placa has been on Rudy's payroll for six years. You’ve got to hand it to drag-queen Julie Annie - as one of the creepiest guys around, he still manages to surround himself with immoral monsters, crooks and liars. Take high school dropout Bernard Kerick, dubbed the "Baghdad Terminator," (whom President Bush nominated for Homeland Security Secretary, until it was revealed he had not paid taxes for his illegal aliens). Kerick has been indicted for bribes, tax evasion and mob connections as New York police commissioner, and it's also revealed he had simultaneous extramarital affairs with two women - one of whom is writing a book about it. With all that nasty mess, now we have to deal with a sanctimonious pedophile ex-priest? No, not Giuliani. I've had enough. The GOP needs to clean up its tarnished morality - not elect more crooks, liars and perverts. The Party of Fear is creating its own monsters and becoming the Party to Fear.
