The Giuliani presidential campaign charges: "dirty trick"
StoriesNew York Daily News – Home – ‘This is clearly a dirty trick’
‘This is clearly a dirty trick’Giuliani camp says dossier was taken,
copied & returnedBY DAVID SALTONSTALLand BEN SMITH
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITERSRudy Giuliani publicly says he has not decided to run for the White House, but the 140-page dossier details possible hurdles and a fund-raising strategy.
The fledgling Giuliani presidential campaign charged yesterday that it was the victim of a mysterious “dirty trick” in the theft of the former mayor’s political road map for 2008.The astonishing charge threatened to overshadow the candid details in the 140-page strategy guide obtained by the Daily News from a source sympathetic to a rival campaign.
“This is clearly a dirty trick,” said Giuliani spokeswoman Sunny Mindel. “The voters are sick and tired of this kind of thing.”
Mindel said that while working on the 2006 campaign trail, a Giuliani aide lost a piece of luggage containing the paper.
“During one leg of his campaign travel, all luggage was removed from a private plane and later put back on,” she said in a statement. “However, one staffer’s bag was not returned.
“After repeated requests over the course of a few days, the bag was finally returned with the document inside”
“Because our staffer had custody of this document at all times except for this one occasion, it is clear that the document was removed from the luggage and photocopied.”

Arrogant wife of an wannabe imperial ruler
StoriesWELL, you arrogant wife of an wannabe imperial ruler of the world, maybe the reason Bush’s poll numbers are so low is that his arrogance on a global scale has devastated the US in many ways, not to mention completely screwed over another nation (Iraq). Your crude and monkey-like husband, that Wizard Guardian of Democracy, should once claim responsibility for the mess that the Middle East is in.It’s not “evil forces” doing bad in the world, it’s imperialistic US-centered policy that justifies invading a sovereign nation that is no threat to it. The monkey should go back to the Texas jungle he came from and let some realists of whatever stripe salvage what’s left of this war.

Writer Nora Ephron Slams George Will’s ‘Civility’ ColumnBy E&P Staff

NEW YORK Columnist George Will has accused U.S. Sen.-Elect Jim Webb (D-Va.) of bad manners, which led to a strong blog response on the Huffington Post by writer Nora Ephron.
According to press reports, President Bush asked Webb at a reception for new Congresspeople how his son — currently serving in Iraq — is doing. Webb replied that he hoped U.S. troops would be home soon. Bush said that wasn’t what he asked, and again queried Webb about how his son was. Webb said that that was between him and his son.
Will, in a piece syndicated yesterday by the Washington Post Writers Group, called Webb a “boor” and added: “Never mind the patent disrespect for the presidency. Webb’s more gross offense was calculated rudeness toward another human being — one who, disregarding many hard things Webb had said about him during the campaign, asked a civil and caring question, as one parent to another.”
The columnist continued: “Based on Webb’s behavior before being sworn in, one shudders to think what he will be like after that. He already has become what Washington did not need another of, a subtraction from the city’s civility and clear speaking.”
Ephron, the author and filmmaker, responded: “Washington is a place where politics is just something you do all day. You lie, you send kids to war, you give them inadequate equipment, they’re wounded and permanently maimed, they die, whatever. Then night falls, and you actually think you get to pretend that none of it matters. ‘How’s your boy?’ That, according to George Will, is a civil and caring question, one parent to another? It seems to me that it’s exactly the sort of guy talk that passes for conversation in Bushworld, just one-up from the frat-boy banter that is usually so seductive to Bush’s guests. …
“So finally someone said to George Bush, Don’t think that what you stand for is beside the point. Don’t think that because you’re President you’re entitled to my good opinion. Don’t think that asking about my boy means that I believe for even one second that you care. If you did, you’d be doing something about bringing the troops home. George Will thinks this is bad manners. I don’t. I think it’s too bad it doesn’t happen more often.”
