For the love of all good and holy in America I hope that Rudy Giuliani is the nominee for the GOP, because nothing would make the happier than those crazy freaking religious rights folks having to go to the polls in the vote for three-time divorce, pro abortion, New York lawyer.

Now the candidate wants the media to leave his family alone. He has asked us to ignore the fact that several of his kids not even speak to him, but he is a known adulterer, and other questionable personality flaws that casts serious doubt on his overall judgment.

Oh please for the love of God please elect this person your nominee.

The former mayor of New York conceded there were “complexities” among his relatives but said any troubled relationships were irrelevant to his performance in public life.

“I love my family very, very much, and I would do anything for them,” he said at a town hall meeting. “The best thing I can say is, kind of, to leave my family alone, you know, just like I’ll leave your family alone.

“If you want to judge me or I want to judge you, we’ll judge each other on our public performance. I don’t know your private life. You don’t know my private life,” he said.

Giuliani’s college-age son Andrew has said he and his father are estranged and he decided to spend the summer playing golf rather than campaign for him.

Giuliani’s daughter Caroline, bound for Harvard University this fall, recently posted support for Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama on her online MySpace profile, according to reports. The posting has since been withdrawn.

Other media have reported that Giuliani learned of his daughter’s plans to attend Harvard by reading about it in a newspaper.

Giuliani is divorced from their mother, local television personality Donna Hanover, who was his second wife. He and Hanover went through an acrimonious separation after he publicly revealed he was seeing another woman, Judith Nathan, while he was still married. He and Nathan have since married.

From me I could not make this up if I tried files, the South Carolina chair of the Giuliani 2008 campaign was indicted today on charges of possession of cocaine with intent to distribute. Now was less than a week ago that we reported that Rudy Giuliani’s Pennsylvania chairman had a long history as a felon. I’m starting to think that Rudy Giuliani has more criminals in his sphere of influence than George Bush had. While I know that Rudy Giuliani actually getting elected president is a long shot, I can only imagine what his cabinet would look like, he would probably be the only president in history that would have to pardon someone before nominating them.

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.
