I know this will break your heart: Giuliani deep in debt from campaign

[LynneSin]

I can see Judi Giuliani calling her divorce lawyer as we speak - the lawyer is probably on speed dial

Giuliani deep 'in the hole' over campaign debts

"Winding down a presidential campaign that sputters — like cleaning up after one of those great Hollywood epics that remain unfinished — can be a complicated, joyless task," the New York Times' Michael Cooper writes artfully in Wednesday editions. "After the dream dies, there are lots of bills to pay and loose ends to tie up."

“We are deeper in the hole than I thought we would be,” wrote John Gross, the campaign’s treasurer, in an e-mail message to several senior campaign aides obtained by the Times.

“Windown is likely to be less than projected, but travel expenses are higher,” Gross added. “We cannot prefer any one creditor. We probably could make a 10% payment to all qualified creditors at this point, but probably not much more.”

If Giuliani is deeply in debt, it shouldn't come entirely as a surprise. According to a 2007 Washington Post piece, the erstwhile mayor has routinely stayed at recherche hotels while enjoying the luxury of private jets.

"Whether it was $2,010 at the Greenbrier Hotel in West Virginia, $4,034 at La Costa Resort and Spa in Carlsbad, Calif., or $5,370 at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco (dining room pictured at left), the former mayor found himself top-notch lodging," the Post wrote. "(At the Fairmont, The Trail got a glimpse of the candidate's large suite -- it had a fantastic view of the bay, overlooking Alcatraz Island.) Water views seem to be a prized asset for Giuliani -- during an early trip to New Hampshire, the former new york mayor stayed at the Wentworth by the Sea resort, a AAA Four-diamond resort that advertises 'postcard-perfect views of the waterfront' in Portsmouth."

You can bet that Judy wasn't going to be staying in anything less than 5-star rated when most candidates would be ok with 3 star hotels at a much lower cost. Plus the concept that Giuliani's dollars were paying for 'Baby Louie's' own first class seat (Judi's Louis Vuitton Bag) all I can say is thank god this man ain't gonna be our president

Oh the tragedy! Oh the horror!

[Dr.Phool]

4. As someone here suggested yesterday,

Settle up for 9.11 cents on the dollar instead of 10.

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

:rofl:

[Webster Green]

5. LOL!

I'm laughing at what Mittens spent too!

This has been a fun primary. :rofl:

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

6. Rudy must be having major 9/11 withdrawals

He can't use that word in every sentence now, unless he actually mutters 9/11 to himself all day long in his hotel room.

[backscatter712]

7. Sic some bill collectors on him!

Have them call him every five minutes day in, day out, threaten to arrest him.

Yoink his bank accounts! Garnish his salary! Repossess his cars and Learjets! Put liens on his house!

Then go up to him, look him straight in the eye and tell him "HOW DOES IT FEEL, MOTHERFUCKER!!!"

8. ....

[Mountainman]

9. I heard he spent $50 mil and got one delegate

[malaise]

10. Into the dust bin of history

Bubye St Rudy of 9/11!

[thereismore]

11. The fiscal conservative spent more than he had? WTF? I am so not sorry. We

have a nifty bankruptcy law now for those occasions. I don't see his speaches going for much $$ in the future. The man is on the trash heap of Staten Island where he belongs.

[MiniMe]

12. Judy will be leaving him any time now

He cant afford the seat for her gucci purse.

[tanyev]

13. It will break the hearts of his creditors.

'Cause they aren't gonna be seeing any money from him.

[TomInTib]

14. NYT said Rudi is going to pay creditors ten cents on the dollar.

Now that is some kind of fiscal responsibility.

[predfan]

15. running up the bill, and bailing on the tab............would have been the perfect Republican candid

[leftofthedial]

16. Rudy Patooty and his $50,000,000 delegate

[L. Coyote]

17. A lot more like Bush than we realized! LOL

[Swamp Rat]

18. For emergency loans, dial 911-Rudy

HAHA! :D

[Yuugal]

19. Karma'd&R

[jazzjunkysue]

20. I dunno? Can you return a used pair of pumps, a wig and a push-up bra?

Bet he's re-thinking a few of those "impulse" buys right about now.

[Pastiche423]

21. My heart is jumping for joy!

Princess Judi has de-throned. Will she have to pawn her tiara? (To pay for her attorney.)

I love Karma!

[Yavin4]

22. He Only Ran In One Primary

How could he be broke?

[LynneSin]

23. Lear Jets, 5-star hotels and first class seats for your wife's purse...

..are not cheap

[Jack Rabbit]

24. Maybe he can ask Mitt for a loan

[Jed Dilligan]

25. I hope he ends up on the streets of Camden, New Jersey

to fully feel the effects of his "cleaning up" New York City.

[LSK]

26. the asshole can now go make speaking tours on how to win 1 delegate

[SoCalDem]

27. He barely RAN a campaign.. Sounds like a piss-poor maney manager to me

Maybe he just needs to give some more speeches (as if anyone even want to hear from him again)..or maybe he could buy a big parrot and train it to say...

9-1-1...GO Ruuuudy...9-1-1

and at opportune times during his speech, he could pinch the parrot, and it would reply..

The audience might like that act..

and maybe the parrot vould learn to ride a leeetle teeny bicycle in a circle, while twirling a US flag in its beak./.

28. Thousands of people who thought Rudy could be prez gave him and Judy....

...some real nice travel & vacation. Ironically it was mainly to Florida. I don't see Iowa having much appeal for Judi
