Strange Bedfellows

Rudy Giuliani has a new campaign staffer and his name is Jim Nussle. According to the AP, Giuliani is the first client of Nussle’s new consulting business and hired Nussle to work on his Presidential campaign. The strange is that these two have what the AP article describes as “deep philosophical differences.” Giuliani is a relatively liberal Republican, pro-choice, pro-gay rights, pro-stem cell research while Jim Nussle is a standard and rather uninteresting conservative Republican who, in his 16 years in Congress, would have striven to avoid even the slightest taint of Rockefeller Republicanism. So, why is Nussle working for Giuliani? Once again, the answer is hinted at the article with the cryptic but all-telling phrase, “Giuliani and Nussle declined to discuss terms of Nussle’s employment.” In other words, Jim Nussle is getting paid a lot of money to support Giuliani. Not that there’s anything wrong that. After all, Nussle still has to pay his alimony somehow.
