Rudy Giuliani, Fundraising GOP Terror Pimp Extraordinaire
Democrats Assail GOP Fundraising Effort
Democrats Cry Foul Over New Republican Fundraising Effort Mentioning War on Terrorism

WASHINGTON Aug 11, 2006 (AP)— Democrats assailed the Republicans Friday for e-mailing a fundraising appeal mentioning the war on terror hours after British authorities disclosed they had disrupted a plot to blow up aircraft headed to the United States.

"In the middle of a war on terror, we need to remain focused on furthering Republican ideas more than ever before," former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani said in a letter that asked for donations to the Republican National Committee.

The RNC blamed a low-level staffer for distributing the fundraising appeal, which the party said had been scheduled for release before news of the plot broke.

"Once the RNC learned of this error we ceased distribution of the e-mail," said Tracey Schmitt, a party spokeswoman. Democrats didn't accept the explanation.

1. I would as soon trust Dr. Octopus, The Vulture, The Lizard, Kraven the
Hunter, The Green Goblin, and The Kingpin -- plus a dozen of SpiderMan's other sinister foes -- combined -- before I would trust Rudy Giuliani.

The man is a mobster. A thug.

2. I just don't GET it...wasn't Giuliani REVILED by most New Yorkers
before 9/11? Now, he's some sort of GOP rockstar?
He needs to go the way of his good pal Bernie Kerik.
Ugh.
