Giuliani sets up firm ‘to cash in on Wall Street’s train wreck,’ then joins McCain for tonight’s debate.
Rudy Giuliani flew to Memphis this afternoon with Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), on the way to tonight’s presidential debate. Giuliani “is positioning his law firm to cash in on Wall Street’s train wreck,” according to the New York Daily News. The former mayor announced yesterday that his firm, Bracewell & Giuliani, would set up a task force “to help corporate clients get a piece of the action — or keep federal wolves from the door,” as the Daily News put it.

It would be nice if Giuliani and McCain could pose just like that at McCain’s podium tonight. Just so Americans can “get to know McCain better”.

For a “PROFIT”, Giuliani will assist “CORPORATE CLIENTS” to eat my taxes…

September 26th, 2008 at 4:19 pmI have no doubt that the people that caused this mess are the ones that will benefit the most. Meanwhile, the people that have had the least involvement (most Americans) and the most to lose, will pay the greatest for it.

Its a scam people to bail out the fatcats that ended up holding the bag when the music stopped. The fatcats that paid bush to grease the greed wheels all these years. bush owes them bigtime and you and I an the Americans without jobs will pay the bill. bush is sweating because there goes his library funds.
September 26th, 2008 at 4:40 pmAh Rudy. This is what you get when you combine the morals of a carnival barker, the dignity of a circus clown and the brass of a horn playing seal. All three rings in one rat-faced package.
September 26th, 2008 at 4:40 pmI believe the taxpayer would do well to Brace themselves. The CorporaWhorehouse on Pennsylvania Avenue wants to please its base. Rudy knows all to well about Corporafornication. Suit up!

September 26th, 2008 at 4:48 pmMayor Rudy Giuliani: corporate whore. Really, the worst sense of the term.
Apparently a confidant and now close friend of his former primary opponent, Senator John McCain. Along with retired Senator Phil Gramm, another corporate whore.
You are the company you keep. Will the last one out of the McCain campaign headquarters please turn off the lights? If anyone is left standing when this is over, that is…
September 26th, 2008 at 5:16 pmI’m shocked.
September 26th, 2008 at 5:26 pmOnce a CorpWhore, always a CorpWhore. Bejeezus I hate that man!
September 26th, 2008 at 5:48 pmThe Task Force will focus in particular on legislation, regulatory actions, enforcement matters and strategic communications to assist market participants in their efforts to navigate one of the most significant governmental actions in the history of the U.S. economy.
“Navigate” means to do an end run around to avoid either regulations and/or enforcement. Guiliani will find a way to profit from any disaster, as he did after 911. Evil bastard. And McCain accepts his support. Lay down with dogs, get up with fleas.
September 26th, 2008 at 6:24 pmLooks like ‘Rudolph’ will lead Santa’s sleigh early this year… Gifts for everyone on the naughty list this year.
Help, I’m trapped in Opposite World!

September 26th, 2008 at 7:32 pmWell, well, well, looks like Ginger Giuliani is trying to cash in on the Wall Street bailout. Ginger needs the dinero since his political career is washed up.
September 26th, 2008 at 8:33 pmAnd here I thought that Giuliani couldn’t become any more detestable than he already was.

sohbetSallie Mae put a hold on that and actually has the nerve to tell you on the phone that it’s not is not good for students to consolidate econmically based on the current rates. So getting 7% instead of 10 to 18+ is bad? Come on lol.
