Giuliani Still Working at Firm He Promised to Leave

Ten months into his presidential bid, Rudolph W. Giuliani continues to work part time at the security consulting firm he promised to leave this past spring to focus on his pursuit of the Republican nomination.

Giuliani's continuing involvement with a firm catering to corporate clients makes him unique among Republican contenders. It also complicates the task of separating his firm's assets from his campaign spending.

Several of the firm's employees do volunteer work for his campaign. And Giuliani did not decide until mid-June, six months after he entered the race, to bill his campaign for the cost of the security detail traveling with him on campaign trips; before then, the firm paid the expense.

Aides at Giuliani Partners in New York and with his campaign confirmed that he continues working part time at the firm. They declined to answer specific questions about the nature of his efforts, his compensation or the amount of time he spends there.

4. Meh... They never really 'Leave'.
Take Tom Delay for example and look at the history of the "Rummy and Cheney Show"... and the FRidjuts complain about
Academic tenure. :eyes:

5. So, when does he become a serial exaggerator?
Or does that only apply to Al Gore? Isn't it odd how many times Rudy fudges facts and yet every instance is treated as an independent, isolated incident with no connection to anything he's done before. But Al Gore jokes about his mom singing him the union hymn to him as a kid, or misstates the exact identity of the FEMA official he was with on his third visit to a disaster area, and he's untrustworthy, a guy who will "say anything" to get elected.

But then, I believe Bush signed an executive order repealing the Goose and Gander Principle, so as always, IOKIYAR.
