From the Left: The Republican-controlled media was in a holy snit over reports that Democrat John Edwards spent $400 on a haircut to keep his Breck girl-perfect locks flawless but where is the GOP outrage over Republican Rudy Guiliani dropping $5,370 to sleep in palatial digs at San Francisco’s Fairmont Hotel?
The silence is deafening, I tell you.
Guiliani travels like royalty. In fact, if he had hair and bad teeth, you would think he was the Queen of England. Records show the former New York mayor spent $2,010 to sleep at the Greenbrier Hotel in West Virginia; $4,034 at La Costa Resort and Spa in Carlsbad, CA; and, $5,370 at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco.
Giuliani spent another $800,000 on charter jet travel.
LSB: Where is the GOP outrage? Like the balls of every Congressman - and Congresswoman, - it's missing. The chickenhawks in Congress are voracious in attacking Dems with their faux outrage about any number of "offenses," and the Dems just take ownership of that outrage. But when the tables are turned - and the "offense" greater - the GOP scatters, spins, obfuscates, "doesn't recall," and generally lies about it with impunity. Afterall, the Dems don't seem to question much the GOP does these days. Despite being in the majority, they continue to act like whipped dogs. Where's the outrage? Don't expect it anytime soon - from either party.

The main difference is that Giuliani doesn't pretend to be the Great Benevolent Populist Savoir To The Little Guy, the way Edwards does.
