GIULIANI'S "BOOTYGATE" GROWS!!!!!!! (ABC News w/ NEW Info!)
Giuliani's Mistress Used N.Y. Police as Taxi Service

Well before it was publicly known he was seeing her, then-married New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani provided a police driver and city car for his mistress Judith Nathan, former senior city officials tell the Blotter on ABCNews.com.

"She used the PD as her personal taxi service," said one former city official who worked for Giuliani.

New York papers reported in 2000 that the city had provided a security detail for Nathan, who became Giuliani's third wife after his divorce from Donna Hanover, who also had her own police security detail at the same time.

I'm sure the traditional media will be all over this. Let's just say, I'm not holding my breath.

Hevesi arranged for a staffer to be his wife's personal chauffeur during the past three years

New York Post
HEVESI IN FREE $$ RIDE
By FREDRIC U. DICKER State Editor

September 22, 2006 -- ALBANY - State Comptroller Alan Hevesi arranged for a staffer to be his wife's personal chauffeur during the past three years - with no reimbursement to the state, his office admitted last night.

The surprise disclosure came after Democrat Hevesi's little-known Republican opponent, Christopher Callaghan, accused the state's top fiscal officer of misusing the public funds he's sworn to safeguard.

Hevesi paid back the money it cost taxpayers, and won the election in spite of the scandal, and was STILL forced to resign.

53. Absolutely? Remember GWB and his cocaine use and DWIs...
that only made it into the media a few weeks before the election? It was all passed off as typical election-time mudslinging bullshit.

Best that this stuff come out as it is uncovered. Giuliani is a total dirtbag. There's PLENTY more where this came from.

36. Judi's mommy and daddy are not rich.
Daddy was a circulation manager for The Philadelphia Inquirer, and her mommy, was/is a homemaker.

Though, throughout her life, Judi has done anything and everything to get money from people.

5. Hell, the Bush Family used the Secret Service to ferry Jenna's drunk boyfriend home!
The Secret Service - It would appear that the Secret Service have acquired yet another new role under George W. Bush. Along with protecting the president and busting down the doors of junior satirists (see Idiots Week 6), they are also required to pick up underage alcoholics from the local drunk tank. After the recent TCU booze-up, Jenna Bush's "boyfriend" William Ashe Bridges (Nash to his friends) was thrown in jail for public intoxication. Four hours later, Secret Service agents showed up in a black Chevy Suburban, bailed him out, and give him a ride home. Now this may seem an unusual way of spending the public's tax dollars, but think about it - bearing in mind this guy's connections, it's entirely possible that the Secret Service were just protecting our future president! Nash Bridges in 2032!

DU

Rudy's transgression pales when compared to this!

The Rudy and Judi Show

It's total News Corp. synergy! Rudy Giuliani teased his presidential campaign plans for the gazillionth time to Sean Hannity on Fox News last night, but let's talk about the nutty Post cover of Giuliani and wife Judi Nathan making out. Okay, they aren't making out - it's apparently an arty photograph for the next issue of Harper's Bazaar. Even though the picture makes us want to dig out our eyes, Judi looks like a foxy femme fatale. And then we read the Post article:

"I've always liked strong, macho men, and Rudy - I'm not saying this because he's my husband - is one of the smartest people on the planet," gushed the former Judith Nathan to Harper's Bazaar in editions due out Feb. 20.

"What people don't know is that Rudy's a very, very romantic guy. We love watching 'Sleepless in Seattle.' Can you imagine my big testosterone-factor husband doing that?"

Describing Rudy, a former federal prosecutor, as "the Energizer Bunny with no rechargeable batteries," Judi said, "One of the most remarkable things about my husband, who sleeps three or four hours a night, is his energy level and stamina.

28. This is just the beginning of the 'Giuliani Implosion Spectacle'....
Taking into account that Giuliani tried to change his spots and appeal to the religious right wing fundamentalists while carrying social conservative baggage like abortion and gay rights positions, that is just the beginning of what is likely to pour forth now.

The Kerik indictment and investigation is wedded to Rudy, and saying everything he did was legal is not going to exonerate him.

I always thought that Giuliani would be the easier of the top Repub Candidates to defeat in the General Election, but looks like he will never make it that far.

I am afraid we are going to be facing Romney.

40. I'd still rather face Romney. He might be "cleaner", but Rudy is overall
a more commanding presence and is more likeable, despite his "lady troubles" and his shady activities. Hillary won't be able to fight Rudy on his sordid personal life, if you get my drift. And there are many people who still think the Clintons have a whiff of corruption around them, too (Whitewater, etc.). Romney isn't especially charming, and does have a lot of meaty flip-flops to poke at.

Abramoff—should have had a good handle attached to his mess, but didn't. Neither did DeLay's scandal.

Bootygate is AWESOME. And very repeatable.

Any Government Official who dresses up in drag as many times as Rudy has is bound to have some interesting rumors circulating about him.

And Judith Nathan could sink him in a New York second if he crosses her before the election.
