The purest expression of Rudi Giuliani

It seems that her honor the ex-mayor has a unique idea for retiring his campaign debt.
With the Republican Party in need of money for the November elections, former Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani has offered to appear at fund-raisers around the country for G.O.P. candidates. But there is a catch: He wants some cash out of the deal.

Mr. Giuliani’s aides have told the National Republican Congressional Committee and Congressional candidates that if he makes an appearance, he wants the candidates to help him get rid of his presidential campaign debt.
Republicans have shown great creativity in fundraising, including diverting public monies into their campaign coffers, but Rudi's plan has pissed off many of them.
Mr. Giuliani’s move has irritated some of his Republican colleagues, who say that the arrangement would put an additional strain on candidates who in many cases are struggling to raise money. Some say rather than making a generous gesture, the former mayor is seeking to tap local candidates’ donors.

“In a year when our candidates are struggling to raise money, this is just another burden,” said a leading Republican Party strategist, who was briefed about the mayor’s request. “This is not about helping the party. This is about helping Rudy Giuliani.”
It's always about Rudi.

Since 1854, Republicans have been diverting public money into their campaign funds. It's the only way they know.
