A chance encounter....helped cops nab a homeless drug addict now charged with killing an aide to former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani after a gay-sex romp...... Detectives were at a Manhattan employment agency looking for records on the suspect, Edwin Ramos, 26, when Ramos - who hadn't worked there in about a month - showed up.....to collect back pay.

Ramos, a drifter with a long history of drug arrests, made a call using a cellphone that belonged to Martin Barreto, 49, who had worked in the City Hall press office during the Giuliani administration.

Barreto's nude body was found Aug. 21 in the bedroom of the Greenwich Village apartment he shared with a cousin......the suspect stole Barreto's phone, computer, keys and some clothes - then sold the phone and laptop to buy drugs.

Cops said Ramos made statements implicating himself in the murder. "He said he met the guy while walking on the street.....They engaged in a conversation and then he was invited up." The body of the gay exec was discovered in his bed with lubricant and a condom next to him, officials said.

Rudy is real tight with the Gay crowd in NY.

(No pun intended on the word "tight")

Bump for later

Rudy is the Bill Clinton of the Republican party.

Is Rudy the new Mcgreevey?

Is Rudy the new Mcgreevey?

Or the old J. Edgar Hoover?

My best friend's son is gay. I see him often when he visits his Dad. Before she passed away, the love of my life's brother was gay. Guess I better not run for office.

[Just mythoughts]

Wonder what "civil rights" would be required to have prevented this?

Move along now. This is just a safe, acceptable life-style choice that we should begin exposing our kids to as early as possible. /heavy sarcasm

Dick Cheney has a gay daughter. Doesn't seem to have hampered his political career at all. :) It's interesting that the anti-Rudy obsessives here haven't much to say about Cheney's situation.

We all know and have friends who are gay. But, having a gay friend is different from having pictures of one's self in drag as Rudy did; pictures that have been made public, even here on this website, .

Don't be silly.

Oh but Rudy is gay gay gay gay gay! He wore a dress in a satire comedy sketch - definitely gay and a cross dresser too! (/sarcasm)

But weren't those pics fron an SNL skit?? I mean, it's not like he's a drag queen.

I guess I made a mistake on the other thread when I treated your attempt as character assassination as mere ignorance.

I wonder if Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis were cross dressers?

But how can that be, when he's the GOP Clinton, catting around on his wife with another woman??!!

IT WAS STILL A DUMB THING TO DO FOR A GUY WHO WANTS TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

With the uninformed electorate today, all someone has to do is show them that picture and say: "Hey Bubba, you wanna fag fer yer Prezdint"?

One stupid "remark" caused George Allen to drop 10 points in the polls in a week's time. In this age, you can't afford to do stupid things.

[Roccus]

Do you have any idea of the context of that picture?

[veronica]

Heh!! :)
