Two Peas in a Pit

To the Editor:

The big issue for Rudy Giuliani is whether the reports are true that, as Mayor, he billed obscure city agencies for personal travel expenses. If true, Rudy was using agencies aiding the disabled and providing lawyers for poor defendants to camouflage his vacation trips to the Hamptons - along with his entire security detail. These may have included trips to meet his then-girlfriend, Judy Nathan.

Maybe it's not so difficult to see why Rudy would support an incompetent and venal creep like Bernard Kerik for high office. If Giuliani is cut from the same rotten mold as Bernard Kerik, it's easy to see why they have been such close buddies for such a long time, and why Rudy still defends his criminal pal.

Hopefully, the voting public will get a clear picture of Rudolph W. Giuliani, especially all the information he has refused to divulge "for security reasons," before the Republican primary.
