Giuliani's key supporters ensnared in sex, drugs
BY TOM BRUNE

MANCHESTER, N.H. -- Another key supporter of Republican presidential
contender Rudy Giuliani suffered an embarrassment when he admitted
last night the "serious sin" of at one time calling an escort service
accused of being a prostitute ring.

Sen. David Vitter (R-La.), who is Giuliani's most prominent Southern
conservative supporter, was implicated when the so-called "D.C.
Madam" disclosed that his telephone number was found among the
telephone records of the escort service, Pamela Martin and Associates,
in a period before he was elected to Senate in 2004.

Vitter's implication in a prostitution ring comes just three days after
Giuliani's former state campaign chairman for the crucial primary state
of South Carolina was formally arraigned on Friday in a federal criminal

Carolina state treasurer and Giuliani's state chairman.

His campaign staff truly reflects the kind of person he is!
