Giuliani Accused Of 'Notorious Adultery'
NEW YORK, June 21, 2002
(AP) Former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani's estranged wife has filed for divorce, citing adultery.
The filing by Donna Hanover, 52, came more than a year and a half after Giuliani filed to divorce her, citing cruel and inhuman treatment.
Hanover's lawyer, Helene Brezinsky, said her client rejected the grounds on which Giuliani's divorce was based.
"If there's going to be a divorce, let's have the truth about why — Rudy's open and notorious adultery," she said.
Giuliani spokeswoman Sunny Mindel replied: "There is no purpose in responding to this mudslinging."
Hanover's filing came June 10 in State Supreme Court. During the last months of Giuliani's tenure, his girlfriend, Judith Nathan, became the city's de facto first lady and appeared with him at official functions.
Meanwhile, the judge hearing the divorce agreed Thursday to increase the amount Giuliani pays to support his two children with Hanover — Andrew, 16, and Caroline, 12 — and for other expenses.
The amount will be raised to $24,000 a month from $1,800 a month. The judge said the change was justified by Giuliani's own admission that this year his income from speaking engagements alone will exceed $8 million.
Hanover had asked for nearly $1 million a year in child support and other expenses.

It's a reason to vote against Rudy. People will accuse their divorcing spouses of everything, so let's wait until the full details come out.
But I'll admit that if Rudy's adultry doesn't rise to the level of rape like some politicians, I may overlook the character flaw and vote for him anyway. If the terrorists hit the U.S. again, Rudy would be the man I'd want in charge.
But color me undecided at this point. I've got over a year to make up my mind.
Old news
Private life
Time to move on

This is just the beginning...he is a pig, and it will be out soon
Giuliani is a high-powered, ambitious person who made a mistake in marrying another high-powered, ambitious person. These marriages rarely work out. We know the Clintons' marriage hasn't worked for decades, yet they continue the charade that it does.
By all accounts, Giuliani is faithful to his current wife. If he is found to be running around on her, it would definitely affect my support of him for President. But the failure of two previous marriages doesn't.
That isn't fair
Jack Ryan's ex is smokin' hot.
I think conservatives would admire Clinton if he dumped Hillary.
Mainly because you don't know anything about the very personal and private circumstances within the Guliani marriage. "He said, she said". "It takes two to tango".
Second, how will any of the forthcoming Enquirer-like coverage (not "reporting") give you any measure of the man under fire in the White House? What does it tell you about his leadership skills? His ability to get things done? Answer: It won't, because it's immaterial to those questions.
There are enough solid reasons to be wary of him on standard political questions. His marital problems are simply irrelevant, and I couldn't care less what they might be.
Most importantly, the personal issues within his marriage are completely out of your reach, and you'll never, ever get the truth about them. So why bother? It's silly.
It was a legitimate reason to oppose Bill Clinton. And in my book, it disqualifies Guiliani for office of president. I don't see his opposition to a pro-life position as a different issue. Granted, he seemed to be married to a bad woman, but lots of people are and stick it out. He's Catholic and knows that. His not respecting life enough to fight legislatively for the unborn is related to a zipper problem. The lack of respect for life is a way to approach all aspects of life. Both he and Bill Clinton have this problem.
Short answer: Obviously.
As one Rudybot commentator put it in an article I posted a while back, "There's not a candidate with a clean skirt out there. Hell, I've been married myself three times." And, no doubt, his girlfriends have had numerous abortions. Doesn't everyone?
You got that right!
Of course - you could also bring up DIVORCE as a cohort of Adultery and call into question those who seek office who have had a divorce.....maybe even look into why any such divorce would be sought.....
Reagan was divorced...
Alcohol problems might also show a serious lack of character....
W is an alcoholic and has his finger on the button
This should totally eliminate everybody from our ranks.....maybe except Romney --- but then he is a Mormon
Great point. Mormons don't believe in Jesus.
--multiple sarcasms
On the other hand, any irregularities on the part of a candidate with an R after his or her name becomes a major issue because the same media will do everything in their power to magnify and build it up.
Compare and contrast Tom Delay and William Jefferson, Scooter Libby and Sandy Berger, Tom Crane and Gary Studds, even Richard Nixon and Lyndon Johnson. Democrat scandals mean nothing. Republic scandals mean everything.
The GOP needs to find a candidate other than Rudy.
