Get Set For A Giuliani Sleaze Tsunami
Judith Regan says she was told to lie to protect Giuliani
"NEW YORK -- Former publisher Judith Regan filed a $100-million defamation lawsuit against Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. and other defendants Tuesday, alleging she was asked by company officials to lie to federal investigators in order to protect Rudolph W. Giuliani's presidential bid.
(...)
Amid a flurry of allegations, the one most likely to cause a stir is Regan's charge that News Corp.'s political agenda was to protect the campaign of former New York Mayor Giuliani, especially when it came to the controversies over former New York Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik, whom Giuliani had recommended for the post of Homeland Security secretary. Regan said she confided to company executives as early as 2001 that she had been having an affair with Kerik, whose memoir, "The Lost Son," she published shortly after the Sept. 11 attacks.
After President Bush nominated Kerik for Homeland Security secretary in 2004, Regan alleges in her suit, one executive "advised Regan to lie to, and to withhold information from, investigators concerning Kerik.
The company then launched a campaign to discredit her, because it feared that she might disclose information that would be politically hurtful to Giuliani, the suit said."
Yes, this is the chick that shacked up with would be homeland security head Kerik in an apartment set aside for 911 workers who needed a rest.
What we have here are republican values at it's finest, with war whore Regan, Rupert Murdoch, cop-on-the-take Kerik, charges of anti semitism, Rudy the serial liar, pissing on 9/11 responders and by Jeebus even OJ Simpson tossed into one humongous salad bowl of oozing sleaze.
And this is only the beginning for G. Wait until the cops, firemen, his old political opponents and his ex wife have their say.
