Today, the Giuliani campaign sent out a big press release that they had hired a new chair for the Rudy Giuliani 2008 campaign in Pennsylvania, but as with many Republican new hires, no one bothered to look into his background. They announced the hiring of Robert B. Asher, a prominent Republican hack from Pennsylvania, the same Robert B. Asher who is convicted of bribery and corruption back in the 80’s. He was convicted of the scheme to award no-bid contracts in exchange for $300,000, at least we can say he’s not cheap.
This is par for the course Rudy Giuliani, if you’ll recall he is the one that recommended Bernard “Bernie” Kerik for the position of head of the Department of Homeland Security. On Giuliani’s advice “President” Bush announced his nomination to the position, but quickly had to withdraw it after it became clear that Mr. Kerik was a shady character at best. Bernie pled guilty in June of last year to two counts of ethical violations and was ordered to pay a fine in the amount of $221,000.
I am almost starting to think that Rudy Giuliani is pretty much surrounded by criminals. It least I can say that if he was elected president we would go from one criminal enterprise to the next. believes they recycle, criminals that is.
