Not that there's anything wrong with that. Well, actually, there is. First, Giuliani is running as a Republican, and the Republican party is the party of family values. Adultery isn't a family value. Second, Giuliani didn't just use taxpayer money to pay for his security while visiting his mistress - and I would agree, he was the mayor of NYC, he needed security even during his off hours - but he then tried to jigger the books to hide the money he was spending on his security for the adultery. That's creepy. And it's of questionable legality as well - you just can't charge the NYC agency dealing with "lofts" for your security to visit your mistress. And Giuliani is now telling the media that he charged obscure agencies for his security detail while visiting his mistress because it was easier to bill it this way. Hmmm. Then did Giuliani use this innovative accounting method, charging the wrong agency for his security, for any other extra-curricular activities beyond his adultery? And just as important, why did Giuliani keep charging the security detail's expenses to different agencies each time, as though he were trying to hide it by spreading it around?
Giuliani is falling into the classic political scandal trap. You get caught, then you lie, then you get caught in your lie, making the story even bigger.
Ah yes, a president who lies and then breaks the law because of his adultery. Plus ca change...
