Rudy Fires Back At MoveOn — And Brings Hillary Into It
Rudy Giuliani has responded to MoveOn's ad against General Petraeus with a full-page New York Times ad of his own — using his own ad to not only attack MoveOn but also to blast Hillary Clinton for criticizing Petraeus' analysis during this week's committee hearings.
The ad promotes "the Petraeus record," detailing the general's medals and other awards. "Who should America listen to," the ad asks, "A decorated soldier's commitment to defending America, or Hillary Clinton's commitment to defending MoveOn.org?"
Rudy boasted last night on Fox News that he would be getting the same "discounted" rate that MoveOn got for their ad — a line the right has been pushing. However, the Times explained yesterday that $64,575, the rate that MoveOn paid, is in fact the standard rate for a full-page, black-and-white advocacy ad purchased on a standby basis, in which the buyer can request a specific day and page placement but is not guaranteed to get them.

When Rudy divorced Wife #2, in 2002, Rudy claimed in court papers to have assets of only $7,000.
Today, Rudy Giuliani is worth at least $33 million -- THANKS to 9/11.
Does Rudy get down on his knees every night and give thanks for 9/11?
I don't know.
The ad was actually paid for by Rudy's presidential campaign committee.
