It just gets worse for Rudi, it might make you feel sorry for him. After coke dealing campaign managers and LEO impersonators I bring you the http://telegram.com/article/20070722/NEWS/707220489/1116">Rudi Giuiliani pedophile ring scandal.

From the Worcester Telegeram and Gazette, Sun Jul 22, 2007

Republican presidential candidate Rudolph W. Giuliani has close ties to a Catholic priest accused of sexually molesting boys and who also was the lawyer for a now-closed Whitinsville counseling house for troubled priests that has been described as the center of a pedophile sex ring.

Monsignor Alan J. Placa, who works for Mr. Giuliani’s consulting firm, Giuliani Partners, was legal adviser in the 1980s to the House of Affirmation, where priests accused of sexual abuse were sent for psychotherapy and other counseling services. The center closed in 1987 amid a financial scandal.

Monsignor Placa, who while an active priest arranged the annulment of Mr. Giuliani’s first marriage, baptized his two children and officiated at the funeral of his mother, is a childhood friend of Mr. Giuliani and they both attended Manhattanville College.


He was stripped of his duties as a priest, but not defrocked, after Newsday, a Long Island newspaper, published a story in 2002 about young men who alleged that Monsignor Placa abused them in the 1970s. He has been on administrative leave since and has worked for Mr. Giuliani for the past five years.

The thing that really puzzles me is why this hasn't been screamed on the MSM and cable news networks.

I mean, a disgraced priest working as a lawyer for a place that was described as "a breeding ground for sexual predators" who has close ties Guiliani. What part of this doesn't scream tabloid headlines.
