Attacks get personal between Romney, Giuliani

Attacks get personal between Romney and Giuliani

The bulk of the battle stemmed from Romney's decision on Friday to call for the resignation of Massachusetts Superior Court Judge Kathe Tuttman -- 20 months after he appointed her.

Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts, learned that Tuttman had released without bail a convicted killer, who has since been charged with killing a married couple in Washington state.

Giuliani, who was also in New Hampshire, told The Associated Press on Saturday, "the governor is going to have to explain his appointment and the judge is going to have to explain her decision."

Romney shot back the next day-- making jabs at Giuliani's judgment.

"I think it's a very ironic posture for him to take, to be talking about personal judgment, when I nominated an individual who had served as 17 years as a prosecutor, nothing in the past of this individual indicated that they would be anything other than a law and order judge," Romney said at a press conference outside Concord.

Well - Theres a lot to say about what it could mean - Giuliani was certainly right in saying that Tuttman should resign - but his attack on Romney is unjustified - he had a right to speak back about it - although the call on judgement was utterly unfounded. Come on - i mean, Tuttman just lets a convicted murderer go - who then kills again - why bother putting someone behind bars if theyre just going to go free.

Tuttman should resign - no question. Giuliani however shouldnt attack Romney simply because he appointed him.
