Ms. Rudi blew off Iraq Study Group meetings
To raise money for himself, naturally, after all he is a Republican. Newsday has the details of NYC's very own Fearless Leader on his quest for big time bucks instead of big time foreign policy.
Rudolph Giuliani's membership on an elite Iraq study panel came to an abrupt end last spring after he failed to show up for a single official meeting of the group, causing the panel's top Republican to give him a stark choice: either attend the meetings or quit, several sources said.Never let it be said that Rudi was anything more than a flash in the pan. Maybe now the rest of the country will see it.
Giuliani left the Iraq Study Group last May after just two months, walking away from a chance to make up for his lack of foreign policy credentials on the top issue in the 2008 race, the Iraq war.
He cited "previous time commitments" in a letter explaining his decision to quit, and a look at his schedule suggests why -- the sessions at times conflicted with Giuliani's lucrative speaking tour that garnered him $11.4 million in 14 months.
