re: that's why he pays 400 bucks for a hair cut and collects 55,000 from a college for giving a speech on poverty. What are you expecting Gandhi? I love it when you Reps complain about Dems making money... what hypocrites. You pissed that Giuliani makes bushels of money (probably from the mob)?

that's why he pays 400 bucks for a hair cut and collects 55,000 from a college for giving a speech on poverty. He's a slime ball "A hundred thousand dollars, a private jet, not bad for a single speech. And that's just what some likely Republican presidential candidate -- in this particular case, Rudy Giuliani -- commands right now. CNN's Mary Snow is watching this story from New York. She's joining us -- Mary. MARY SNOW, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, Wolf, with Rudy Giuliani hitting the campaign trail, his life as corporate citizen is coming under the microscope. At the same time, he's scaling back his appearances on the speaker circuit. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) SNOW (voice over): He's best known as "America's mayor". And since leaving public office, Rudy Giuliani has capitalized on that, giving motivational speeches like this one in San Diego Wednesday. RUDY GIULIANI (R), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: We had to cover up the buildings that we thought were going to be attacked. SNOW: Giuliani can command $100,000 for an event. That's how much the Student Speaker's Bureau at Oklahoma State University paid him last March. Plus, another $47,000 for a private jet. In a contract obtained by CNN, Giuliani's travel requirements were quite specific. The private aircraft must be a Gulfstream IV or bigger. He didn't end up using them, but also requested in the contract were five hotel rooms, including one for Giuliani, that was to be a large two-bedroom nonsmoking suite with a king-size bed on an upper floor with a balcony and view if applicable. Political strategists say these type of contracts are not uncommon." 209.85.165.104
