    Furthermore why does a man of 76 years of age want to go to the hotel room and recline on the bed of a woman girl [even a woman of 24] who is young enough to be his grand-daughter?
    The image is of him tucking his shirt back in after having removed the microphone wires from beneath his shirt.....

    Why in the world would you believe what Giuliana says about it? At a minimum, a reasonable Republican/Libertarian would note that the images look damning, regardless of anything anyone is actually saying about the incident...
    How is an older man being attracted to a hot 24-year old who was apparently coming on to him a "devastating sex scandal"?

    Because that distinction is critical here, right?

    “This guy comes running in, wearing a crazy, what I would say was a pink transgender outfit,” Giuliani told the New York Post. “It was a pink bikini, with lace, underneath a translucent mesh top, it looked absurd. He had the beard, bare legs, and wasn’t what I would call distractingly attractive."


    If anything, I'd say he was taking more interest in Borat.
    I think I could argue persuasively that this is what it looks like - but I wont. I take your points above, and the reality is that the only reason I care about this story is that it's funny. Even if Giuliani turns out to have been a pervert (and really, he married his frikkin cousin, so...), I just don't care that much; let him be a pervert legally. More important are the optics on this story; they're hilarious :)

    Did he think she was under-age? It doesn't matter if he thought she was 18, 19, 20. Its if he thought she was under-age, then its criminal. Whether he thought she was her actual age of 24 is irrelevant if he thought she was legally an adult and able to consent.*

    *again, assuming that he was trying to sleep with her.

    Perhaps he wanted to get dressed up again. Remember this?

    I suspect you support and endorse the uncontrolled capitalism that exploits young girls and encourages them to dress in "skimpy clothing" and perform "sexually provocative dance routines".

    Those capitalist outlets [media, fashion, music industry, and advertising] are part of the capitalist system where profit is all that matters.

    I cannot recall reading any thread from any Christian condemning that economic system and its industries for their exploitation of young people in the name of profit. I might opine that you too have some "very strange moral standards."

    I agree, but did he know her actual age?

    Well, you know we could handlie it like democrats in North Carolina where they will drag Cal Cunningham "Across the line" after the sex scandal he's involved in....

    Well, she was playing a character who was playing a character. If there was no indication in their interactions that she was "underage" then you are saying that he was interested in an above-age girl, who was pretending to be underage, with no indication she was under-age...

    Hence, nothing.

    As we see from the antics of Roy Moore and instances such as that in Alabama where [apparently] a seventy four year old married a fourteen year old. The American Way and The American Dream. Just imagine if they were Muslims!

    So the "joke" here is apparently that Giuliani was attracted to a hot 24-year old model. Ooh, how scandalous.
    She's an actress not a model

    As far as her age, 24, so what? I'm 60 and I find women in their 20s attractive. Most models are in that age range.
