NYPD Chief Kelly Questions Rudy's Story

Rudy's latest story that the cops were complaining about late payments falls apart:

New questions were raised today about Rudy Giuliani's explanation for submitting police security expenses to obscure city agencies while he was mayor of New York and carried on a secret affair with his mistress, who also was given use of a police driver and city car. Giuliani said Thursday the unusual billing practice was not intended to hide anything but instead to speed payment of American Express credit card bills.

But the current New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said today he knew of no problems with the delay of payments before Giuliani was mayor, when Kelly served under Mayor David Dinkins, or since.

He said all bills for the police details for Dinkins and now for Mayor Mike Bloomberg are handled directly "through the police department."

    and will not hang this stench around the neck which deserves to have it hung around.

    just like ... people associated with the saving and loans in the 80's (bush ...)?

    RayGun's lies (bush...?)?

    cheney's war for accountably free haliburton ?

    completely unethical, despicable, BAD 'leaders' will be let off the hook cuz our college educated panzies,

    pansies who don't know squat about real politics but who LOTS about college ivory tower politics,

    our pansies won't hang this stink bomb around rudi's neck, were it quite deservedly belongs.

    if I were a theist, my prayer would be

    'please gawd, prove me wrong.'

    ........to speed payment of American Express credit card bills.

    slowed most likely as the consequence of someone questioning their appropriateness. to speed it up, simply moved it to another, probably understaffed, office, without as much oversight.

    you're exactly right andgarden.

    his affairs weren't particularly secret, since it seemed everyone in new york state, except, perhaps, his wife, knew about them.
