I’m feeling catty today so please forgive me. I can’t help it. But y’all know I have a low tolerance for B.S. This steamy photo on the front page of the New York Post borrows from a March Harper’s Bazaar piece on the First Whore in waiting, Judith Nathan Giuliani. Miss Judi, you’ll recall, was Giuliani’s so-called “very good friend” whose “friendship” brought a public dissolution of Hizzhonor’s second marriage. He was whoring around with this tramp and bringing her for clandestine stays at Gracie Mansion, the Mayor of New York’s official residence.
In a public display of arrogance more shocking than Vice President Cheney dissembling after shooting a 79 year-old hunting partner in the face, Giuliani publicly announced his separation from his wife, Donna Hanover before he told her himself. This was during his ill fated 2000 run against Hillary Clinton for a New York Senate seat.
Understandably, Miss Donna had a problem with Giuliani flaunting his tramp in front of her damn face and those of her children. She had a press conference of her own and alluded to another of his affairs “with one staff member” that she had been unconscionably subjected to. Classy and smart, Miss Donna rose to the occasion and played her part of the wronged wife to the hilt. Her performance added to the impression of Giuliani as a petulant bastard,which, of course, he is and will always be.
After impeachment, I thought I’d seen it all. This run for the White House brings the hypocrisy full circle. After threatening to destroy our republic in a demagogic and hypocritical power grab by fools in glass houses, now this. Republicans are far from tepid about his candidacy. Most of them welcome his candidacy like another grandbaby-with enthusiasm. The right-wing, however, seems ready and loaded for bear. They don’t appear poised to let him slide into power on an uncritical tidal wave of post-September 11th publicity. He ain’t on their far-right home team of knuckle dragging sycophants.
I shudder to think what a Giuliani Presidency would be like. He actually has a good shot at the nod, and in the end, the Oval Office. God forbid that we’re treated to another disgusting spectacle of him changing whores in midstream.
Skeptical Brotha 
This IS the hoochie he had in the house WITH HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN , right?
SB, I know you’re skeptical. And maybe the evangelical men can work past this, but I feel a silent revolt happening with the women. Smiling and nodding in public, but when they get in that voting booth…they’ll see this picture, remember it, as well as him HAVING HIS WHORE IN HIS HOME WITH HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN.
There are certain things that women can’t forget.
Maybe I’m wrong….but, I dunno.
Rikyrah,
Quiet as its kept, this campaign on Hillary’s part is Bill’s pennace for screwing around in the White House with Monica, the girl-child. Nothin’ says “Sorry,baby” like helping her raise $500 million to run for Prez. The women of America will get hip. They will not vote for Giuliani and install a courtesan in the White House as First Lady.
You think it’s quiet. I don’t think it’s quiet in the least. I don’t know anyone who talks about Hillary running for President that doesn’t think it’s Bill’s apology to her….not one person – man or woman. They know the deal.
But, I stand by my belief that evangelical women will only go SO far. I can’t see them voting in lockstep for Rudy in the primaries. I can’t see it. THEY are the most vulnerable in following the evangelical gospel, so they are the ones who would be most offended….will they argue with their hubbies? With their preachers? No. But, push comes to shove…in that voting booth..all alone?
Men are men. Women accept that.
Men can cheat. Women accept that.
But, there is cheating, and there is CHEATING.
It takes a certain kind of man to have the audacity to bring his whore in the same house with his WIFE AND CHILDREN.
As a woman, the rage it brings forth…is enough to power a nuclear reactor.
Rikyrah,
I was just talking about this with another sistah and she about blew a gasket. This was handled as civilly as I have heard of because Donna Hanover is a woman of class and breeding. Black men, on the other hand, usually know better than to bring their Ho up in the crib without their woman pulling out her earrings and smearing on some vaseline because she is about to adminster a beat down on both of their trifiling behinds. That whole scenario woulda looked a lot different in blackface.
My entire point about Giuliani is that if we think that hubris resides at 1600 Pennsylvania now, just wait and see what Giuliani brings, It’s a whole new level. He marched in parades in public with this woman before his separation with Donna. He paraded his infidelity openly, brazenly, unconscionably.
Well, I can see he’s with her for her mind. And she no doubt finds his little bald head “cute”.
Giuliani has one thing going for him, but about a thousand liabilities. He can talk about constructionist judges all he wants and, yeah, “family values” voters have shown a high tolerance for hypocrisy, but how many theocons are going to stomach voting for the guy? Giuliani’s not-so-private life makes Bill Clinton’s look positively pious.
Chrystine Lategano was the staffer Giuliani had the affair with — it is my hope that the staffers that were working with her while the affair was going on and HATED her incompetent azz
become very comfortable feeding tips to bloggers and journalists (remember them?) and share their stories of how Giuliani used city funds to treat ho #1 ever so right.
Then they can go into all the sleazy crooked inhumane he stuff he did while Mayor. (see Amadou Diallo and Patrick Dorismond)
It may not matter to the majority of cud chewers called the American public but my catty azz will so enjoy reading all about
America’s mayor and his sleazy true self.
This man used the death of thousands on 9/11 to coast to untold wealth and parade that ugly wench around as someone of grace and class.
so yes i not only want him to lose, I want him and his to be humiliated.
