Firefighters tell Florida Security Moms: Rudy hired ‘unqualified yes men’
In a flier that will be landing in more than 100,000 Florida mailboxes before the state’s Republican primary, a firefighters’ union accuses foundering candidate Rudy Giuliani of excercising poor judgement and populating his New York administration with “unqualified yes men,” such as indicted former Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik.
The International Association of Firefighters political arm has long targeted Giuliani, accusing him of building an “urban legend” around images of himself wandering among the wreckage of Sept. 11, 2001. Their latest salvo comes as the former New York mayor who once was thought to have a lock on the GOP nomination finds his poll numbers tanking in Florida, a state his campaign has focused almost exclusively on in recent weeks.
The firefighters’ mailer is targeting “security moms” in the sunshine state and will be sent to 128,000 women between the ages of 40 and 80 before next Tuesday’s primary, reports The Atlantic‘s Marc Ambinder. It says Giuliani is not qualified to be president because of his poor judgement and penchant for hiring unqualified, possibly corrupt loyalists.
“Instead of hiring a real police chief,” it says, “Giuliani appointed his driver, Bernard Kerik. He then asked President Bush to appoint him as secretary of Homeland Security when Kerik was on the verge of a federal indictment. Giuliani would rather reward unqualified loyal cronies that real leaders. He can’t be trusted with decisions on such important issues.”
Yep, Giuliani knows how to pick them just like Dumbya does!
LMAO

Kerik declared bankruptcy in October 1987[9] but today he is a multimillionaire, the result of a lucrative partnership with former New York Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani and a profitable relationship with a stun-gun manufacturer. His relationship since 2002 with Taser International, a Scottsdale, Arizona, manufacturer of stun guns, has by far been the biggest source of his newfound wealth, earning him more than $6.2 million in pre-tax profits through stock options he was granted and then sold, mostly in November 2004.
The illuminate works in strange ways. 😎

Bernie Kerik, a man who rose from being Giuliani’s driver to his police chief – and who was recently indicted for a string of felonies including fraud and obstruction of justice – remembers feeling like a “made man” when he joined the mayor’s inner circle. A ceremony had been arranged in which he was welcomed with a kiss on the cheek from each fellow consigliere.
Those who crossed Giuliani’s path did so at their own peril. In 1997, a man named James Schillaci provoked Giuliani’s ire by complaining about a police traffic sting in the Bronx on the mayor’s radio call-in show and then contacting the New York Daily News, which ran a page one story.
Soon afterwards, Schillaci was arrested on a 13-year-old traffic warrant. A judge later threw out the charge, but not before a police spokesman had related details of decades-old criminal offences and falsely stated that Schillaci had been convicted of sodomy. “Mr Schillaci was posing as an altruistic whistleblower,” Giuliani told the press. “Maybe he’s dishonest enough to lie about police officers.” Schillaci suffered a nervous breakdown and later won a $290,000 legal settlement from New York City – part of a colossal $7 million in civil rights payouts and retaliatory damages the city coughed up during Giuliani’s tenure as mayor.
Talk about appointing unqualified people.. those GOP boyz sure know how!
Loyalty vs qualified..
Well, I hope that the NY vermin don’t put any factories here in Oregon, especially stun guns. 😆
