Giuliani Going Broke? Top Staffers Asked To Work For Free
Via CNN:
CNN has learned that top staff members of Rudy Giuliani's presidential campaign were asked to work without pay for the month of January, and perhaps longer, so that campaign resources could be focused on the Florida Republican presidential primary.
Two sources in the campaign, speaking on condition of anonymity, insisted the campaign was not in dire financial straits. A third campaign source, however, said "things are starting to get tight" and that "it was more telling than asking" the senior staff to forgo paychecks beginning the first of the year.
Another source disagreed, saying it was a "voluntary" move by senior staff members "so all of our resources could be targeted toward Florida…Our campaign is not living hand to mouth right now…" Read on...
Concentrating all resources to Florida? You mean, to buy all those ads in Spanish? I wonder if Sean Hannity will come to the rescue and host another Freedom Concert to help his BFF.
Update: Rudy's national finance chair has jumped ship. That's never good...
im shocked !shocked i tells yah , doesnt 911 mean anything anymore? answer me dam you

SUCH a day I've had!!
You should FEEL my pain!!
Oy Geval!!
Sincerely,

i have to wonder who was advising rudi that nh and iowa were not important
they may be small states...they may not bring alot of delegates and the winner may not even win the nom....but wins, or close second place finishes do bring in the caishe
just ask obama, who raised 500k the day after his "loss" in nh
But isn't he the chosen one? I mean with 9/11 and all, aren't all us Americans suppose to throw our support around him for saving New York and America after the attacks? I need the media to tell me what I should do. I think I need to cash in my 401k to make sure he saves this country from another 9/11. I may be confusing some conservatives by using 911 and 401 in the same post. When I say 401 I'm not talking about a date.
I'm so glad to see Rudy crash and burn! Not only did he exploit 911. He financially profited off of it. His demeaner is well knowm to be less than friendly, and he is a philanderer. Bye Bye Rudy, ride off into the 911!
ha ha
I'm not smiling.
I am NOT smiling.
I am most definitely NOT smiling.
But I might be lying. ;-)
adios pendejo..........yeah right...work for free.....in this economy....LOL!
hasnt this man suffered enough?it was pure misery walking thru the streets of new york with all that carnage in the twin towers, 911 911 , bet he wishes hed have been in his headquarters in building 7 to face them turrists!!!!!!!!!!!oh and 911
9/11!
Is it me or does Rudy look remarkably like Peter Weller in Robocop when he takes off his helmet?
How much do you wanna bet he has 9,110,000.00 stashed away from the campaign.......you know......just in case he loses.......he has to stock up the old coffers..
can you feel the tears ( sniffle , sniffle ) ,
sometimes uncontrollable laughter affect's me that way .
Dust in the wind
9/11!
rudy just walk into the light!!!!!!!
Nice picture.
Were they saying the Pledge of Allegiance...and he had trouble finding his heart?
Try your wallet, Rudy...I think that's where you left it, you sell-out.
Campaign of ‘Mr. 9/11′ Goes Into Chapter 11
Boo. 9/11. Fucking. 9/11. Hoo. 9/11.
KO asks, If you wait to run in Florida, how do you run out of money before you run in Florida.
I guess he is running on the bush policy to spend more than you bring in.
There are potential concerns here about the campaign finance rules being broken. The "free" help from these advisers constitutes a campaign donation. He could put himself in trouble with this one - the greedy blood-sucking bastard.

On a serious note, I thought that McCain had also run out of money. How is he keeping his campaign afloat?
I just don't trust stories like these.
I heard today he has 17 million in the coffers. What's really up here?
*
Hey he isn't doing anything he wouldn't ask the rest of us to do if he was elected President...
heartless my god dont you know how he suffers every day when he gets out of bed takes a pee hocks up that asbestos from his lungs and skips off to raise more money for 911 victims!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
His campaign is finished--not that it ever got anywhere. The reason he is in Florida all the time is because they have a HOME there--of course, don't expect the mandarin's in the media to mention that. They have a place in Palm Beach.
Rudy can't take New York winters anymore.
The repugs want him to be in control of the budget?
Hey, maybe the Lithper can ask his kids for their allowances back - then again, maybe not since they don't take his calls anymore. Shucks!
they had this no pay scheme in the south about 150 years ago. it was called something different though.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=qQ7-3M-YrdA Rudy's message.
I hate hypocritical conservatives. How can these big business, free market types ask people to work for free? Thats why I never trust conservative business principals, they screw over the people everytime.
Even IF we take his campaign at his word that his top staff forgoing pay is not a sign of financial distress, its still a sign of fiscal and managerial failings. Any GOOD manager pays their people. Period.
P.S. rabid dogs should gnaw on his crotch for days.
Ron @ 26:
So that he'll make government employees work for free.

And Rudy wants to control the economy of the whole nation?
Can't he just voucher this crap like he did all those years in NY for his girlfriends limo's?
Is it me or does Rudy look remarkably like Peter Weller in Robocop when he takes off his helmet?
"Freeze, thcumbag! I'm RudyCop! Here to protect the thtreets from terrorithts and liberals alike! 9/11!!"
See it now because tomorrow, it, like his campaign, could be history!
Can't Sean Hannity have a bake sale for him or something?
Fuck 9/11 Rudy 9/11
P.S. rabid dogs should gnaw on his crotch for days.
Filthy Harry,
You definitely live up to your name with this gem! Good for you!! :-)
but 911 cant be stressed enough! by the way ever wonder why guilini was the only one who had a face mask on ,on 911
Trittydi @ 31:
Oh yeah. They want to bring back slavery. They have almost accomplished that already. He's a little late. 9/11, 9/11.
Trittydi @ 22:
question , anyone running ( funny term ) for public office gets to keep any money left over , if this is true , then does retiring from the " race " , allow this also ? .
Chicago Joe @ 35:
I'm a life long NY'er, city, county and state, and I can't tell you how much I hate rudy.

Filthy Harry @ 39:
and may the bird of paradise fly up his ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!911
Another Fiscally Responsible Republican.
He should pay them no less than $9.11 /hr.
Rudy, the golf course, it's calling.
Nobody for President @ 34:
If he can make chocolate chocolate chip with macadamia nuts, I'll vote for whoever he commands his sheep to.
im thinking rudy better stay in florida permanatly, if the people of new york ever wise up and figure out he had a hand in 911 they will strig him up, not that these anything wrong with that!
Can a 'fork' hold grrrudy,thompson and mc pain?.....they're all DONE.
Rudy 9/11 I 9/11 have 9/11 some 9/11 news 9/11 for 9/11 you 9/11, it's 9/11 over 9/11!
HAHA!
I think only Alan Keyes is the more pathetic GOP candidate at this point, and that really is saying something in a field that included Mike Huckabee, Fred Thompson, and Ron Paul.
LibertyLover @ 42:
Yeah, paying slave wages or nothing in order to get ahead.
Wow.
I'm glad, but a bit surprised, to see him going down. By Super Tuesday, I hope he's finished. Of course, all of the GOP candidates are pretty scary.
he's no fred thompson.
Not all of Rudy's staff is taking no pay. It's only the top tier. In fact, the fraction of Rudy's staff still getting full pay is very close to 9/11.
Ha-911-Ha-911-Ha-911!
L911M911F911A911O911!
Fuck you Rudy.
guess the author...
"He's never run anything, never met a payroll....blah blah blah"
And the fat wallet of Rudy, Inc. remains fast-closed while it's PB&J for the Team Rudy!
Another way of showing he's a real man of the people!
9hou11iana is banking on another attack and then he'll tear off his suit and save us all. Yawn at the oddball.
One of his peeps was on the news tonight, and was asked several times and ways about Rudy's contributions to his own campaign, as he's a multi-millionaire. The guy squirmed out of answering directly, but the answer I finally got was negative. Mother is indeed only half a word.
gempei @ 44:
Yeah....Tee Time is at 9/11
hehehe Whose idea was this? Think of all those bursting bubbles. I hope they don’t expect any of us to believe that these “professionals” will be working for nothing. In a frigging pigs eye. Let the mass exodus begin.
I can fart numbers! prrpr 9 pprprpr 1 prpprrrp 1.
No worries, you have nice spot waiting for you as NYT op-ed. They love wackos!
9/11 was bad.
Now I know the reason behind all those ads in Spanish. He replaced his ad staff with Mexicans.
and this guy want us to trust him to run our economy. . . .ruin even more would be more like it
joe cantwell @ 53:
I don't know if I'm supposed to be happy about that or not.

All that extra security for his lovers...costs big $$$
miss_kitty @ 67:
Costs big $$$ = $911.
Rudy made over 52 million since 9.11. He should pay the staffers out of his own pocket. I'm so sick of these cons

080111. Didn't he once say he ran a successful company, so people like B&H who had not done such a thang, were not as ready to run the country? Or was it that his name was on the door to get clients. He did very well saying 9/11 to a paying crowd. Which didn't expect him to be so unable to say anything else.
But they spelled his name right on the business cards. In such a nice font.
This would be so much easier if he was already president. Then Rudy could simply send a bunch of Secret Service guys over to the US Treasury and bring back some wheelbarrows of cash. Later he could say it was money for the poor or some shit. Whatever.
Anyone care to guess how much cash Giuliani has skimmed from his campaign?
It's over for Rudy. He may keep trying, but the result is inevitable.
Why would anyone do anything free for this bastard? It would be hard to work for money
wait...does this mean Judith has to give the tiara back?
Rudy and his campaign staffers - from 9/11 to 7/11
A couple of Ghouliani's mob backers are calling in their loans...
And you thought the subprime market was tough...
Hey, Giuli, your budget's out-of-whack. Too much outgo, not enough coming in.
As a republican male, maybe you'd have more luck hooking instead of pimping.
Good luck.
mr.ed @ 59:
You beat me to it. This is the guy who has made a fortune exploiting 9/11 - and he wants top staffers to work for free? Guess he is promising big payoffs if he is elected. Biiiiig if.
why would anyone volunteer to work for free for this douche bag? Especially a 5th place loser douche bag
Giuliani going broke back mountain.
Just to give you guys the low down on how Rudy is viewed from this side of the pond (London, England)... for what it's worth. The media here portray him as a lying fraudster with mob connections, a classic example of a sleazy corrupt US politician. We've no party political axes to grind over here, no partizan propaganda to push. We base our appraisals of people in power simply on the facts. Joe Biden's now famous Rudy put-down (noun-verb-911) has entered everyday UK parlance as shorthand for describing, in a nutshell, that loathsome breed of corrupt politico who makes capital from the bravery of others and promotes fear (mainly of Islamo-terrorism) to further his/her own political and financial ends. We are looking forward to watching Rudy crash and burn.
