Don't forget his buddy, the Priest:

Presidential candidate Rudolph Giuliani hired a Catholic priest to work in his consulting firm months after the priest was accused of sexually molesting two former students and an altar boy and told by the church to stop performing his priestly duties.

The priest, Monsignor Alan Placa, a longtime friend of Giuliani and the priest who officiated at his second wedding to Donna Hanover, continues to work at Giuliani Partners in New York, to the outrage of some of his accusers and victims' groups, which have begun to protest at Giuliani campaign events.

"This man did unjust things, and he's being protected and employed and taken care of. It's not a good thing," said one of the accusers, Richard Tollner, who says Placa molested him repeatedly when he was a student at a Long Island, N.Y. Catholic boys high school in 1975.

At a campaign appearance in Milwaukee last week, Giuliani continued to defend Placa, who he described to reporters as a close friend for 39 years.

"I know the man; I know who he is, so I support him," Giuliani said. "We give some of the worst people in our society the presumption of innocence and benefit of the doubt," he said. "And, of course, I'm going to give that to one of my closest friends."

Haha what a strangely backhanded statement!

Wow, that quote verges on classic Bushisms.

I have the feeling that if we still have a Republican President after '08, it will be due to the absence of an election, so I'm not particularly worried about President Giuliani. Right now I give 50/50 odds between Clinton 2, Electorate Boogaloo, and Emperor George the Firstest.

That "Worst people in our society" is pretty classic though. And almost as funny as; "If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator."
