Pass it on. After all the demands for Hillary's paid speeches--this is delicious.

WASHINGTON — Rudolph W. Giuliani, facing a flood of questions about whether his business dealings should disqualify him from being named President-elect Donald J. Trump’s secretary of state, on Tuesday defended his lucrative 15 years in the private sector as a credential for the job.

“I have friends all over the world,” Mr. Giuliani, the former New York mayor, said in an interview. “This is not a new thing for me. When you become the mayor, you become interested in foreign policy. When I left, my major work was legal and security around the world.”

As secretary of state, Mr. Giuliani, a loyal, often ferocious backer of Mr. Trump’s candidacy, ................................

But Mr. Giuliani’s business ties are a major red flag. He built a lucrative consulting and speechmaking career after leaving City Hall. His firm, Giuliani Partners, has had contracts with the government of Qatar and the Canadian company that is building the Keystone XL oil pipeline, and Mr. Giuliani has given paid speeches to a shadowy Iranian opposition group that until 2012 was on the State Department’s list of foreign terrorist organizations.........................

1. But we never saw Hillary's speeches.

Maybe if we had, back in the Spring, things may have turned out different.

2. Oh, for the love of....

They would have found something else to fixate on. Her shoes probably.

4. While I don't disagree with you about them finding

something else, to discount her not releasing the transcripts of the speeches is a mistake.

5. Then they would have asked to release her permanent record from elementary school

People hated her because she is a woman who dared to rise above her station.

3. We couldn't even get Trumps's taxes, what makes anyone think we'll get Ghouliani's speeches?

I take it it the Dems in the Senate will be blocking his approval?

6. Oh, it is just to tickle them and perhaps -just perhaps get them to realize what

an endless stupid request it is. Turn the tables.
