Want Giuliani to speak at your venue? Prepare to shell out $100,000 an hour to start...

and then you have to get him there by private aircraft, NO SMALLER THAN A GULFSTREAM IV!

The Smoking Gun has decided to bookend the weekend with Rudy Giuliani tidbits. On Monday, The Smoking Gun printed parts of Giuliani's 1993 "vulnerabilities study" which, among other things, offered suggestions on how to answer questions about the former mayor's marriage to his second cousin. Today's installment is Giuliani's tour rider for speaking engagements. At $100,000 for one hour Giuliani time (45 minute speech, 15 minutes of Q&A), one also has to provide certain hotel and travel accommodations. The Smoking Gun writes, "We've previously posted the tour riders of Dick Cheney and John Kerry, but those two pols look like pikers compared to the high-rolling, diva-like Rudolph Giuliani, wannabe Republican presidential candidate." Why is Giuliani a diva? He needs at least a Gulfstream IV! And he doesn't like "direct, on-camera flash bulbs," either, but we can't blame him on that count - they do make him look more ghostly.

The rider was released by Oklahoma State University, which had to shell out the $100,000 speaking fee, plus "$47,000 in jet expenses." An OSU alum, Eric Money (hee!), who arranged for Rudy to speak at his alma mater told the Washington Post, "He cost a lot of money, obviously, and some people were surprised at that, and a little taken aback. But he's a big name and was a possible presidential contender, and in the end, I thought his whole leadership message was very appealing."

1. I'm sure he donates some of that to the families of 9/11.

:sarcasm:

2. $100,000?!? That's like $10 for every time he mentions 9-11!!! nt

3. How much does it cost...

to shut him up?

I'll pay that.

5. I think we could take up a collection for that. LOL!

[no_hypocrisy]

4. To me, it's not the fact that Giuliani demands all this; it's the fact

that it is paid and provided to him.

6. That's how prostitution works...nt

[npincus]

7. He's a piece of shit who's enriched himself with 9-11 blood money

I can't wait until his reputation is torn to shit by his GOP opponents.

8. I'd get better advice about life's lessons from a lottery winner.

He'd be nothing without 9/11.

9. For that price will he dress up like this....

10. All DU's could pony up a dollar each.

Then we could heckle him for an hour. We just need a venue, maybe teleconference. Then we take our tape and sell it either on CD or to the Comedy Channel, buy DU screaming new hardware. Ruin Rudy and have some fun. I'm in.
