Wife makes strife (Rudy again)

NY Daily News ^ | 3/4/07 | Dave Saltonstall

Reagan's kids (with Nancy) feuded with them in public constantly.

[Alter Kaker]

Why didn't Rudy go to his son's graduation? I mean, to listen to the kid, he has real grievances with his dad.

[pissant]

He registered quite a blip. He just didn't bus supporters there to vote.

[ShawTaylor]

"My father came to my high school graduation. "

Good for you, I am sure.


"Of course, as he was still married to his first wife (and remained married to her until her death after 53 years of marriage), so there was no conflict in trying to shove the new "wife" down my throat. "

All the best to them.
But we have a 50% divorce rate in this country (According to the current divorce rate statistics, 50% of the marriages end in divorce : http://www.aboutdivorce.org/us_divorce_rates.html) one of the highest on the planet. So a very high number of voters have gone through what Rudy is going through.
This particular smear by the Hitlery attack machine is going to backfire like the attack on Obama did.

[veronica]

Didn't Patty Reagan pose nude for some magazine?

[HitmanLV]

Just pointing out that one of FR's greatest heroes had been divorced and had alienated - and embarrassing - children, too.

[pissant]

I did not say this disqualifies him. I said they are saving the real ammo for after the nomination.

[Hydroshock]

Rino Rudy has more baggage then American Tourister(SP?).

[ABG(anybody but Gore)]

IF it comes down to it, I'll vote for Rudy or Romney without hesitation if it means keeping the Witch out of the Oval Office. McCain means I'll have to hold my nose, but he's still better than Her Heinousness...

[ShawTaylor]

"Good. then the conservatives blogs and FR and the rest of the conservative media will see to it that a conservative is nominated"

Not gonna happen. Meanwhile, you can count on some effective attack books on Hitlery in the next 2 years.

[HitmanLV]

That may be true but this isn't real ammo - it's something the GOP got past in 1980.

[Hildy]

Yea, Patty Davis ranting about her father really hurt him, didn't it?

[brazzaville]

Good morning.
"....or is this the second bitter vagina monologues wifie number two who is the mother?"

Would that be the bitter vagina monologues wifey Rudi wanted out of the Mayor's residence so he could move his girlfriend in?

It gets confusing after awhile.

Do the half of us who stayed married to their original spouse still get to vote?

[pissant]

That's why I didn't call it real ammo. The woodwork is full of that for Rudy, unlike RWR.

[Hildy]

Donna Hanover was a local newswoman when she married Rudy. She had delusions that her stature was going to boost her career. When it did not, she became bitter. The last I saw her she was narrating a show about celebrity homes on The Travel Channel. There are always two sides to a story.

[HitmanLV]

Fair enough -= the topic on this thread is Rudy's alienated son. I was just pointing out that this isn't new territory for the GOP, in case any Freeper is mesmerized into believing that it is.

[ShawTaylor]

"Do the half of us who stayed married to their original spouse still get to vote?"

Sure.
But unless you are gonna tell me that all those 50% that have stayed faithful to their marriage vows are so in love with the sleazy, marriage-vow breaking Klintons, that they are going to vote for Hitlery, then Rudy has little to worry about on that score.

[happygrl]

If this is true, then he is an unfit father, an unfit leader of his own family.

There are things about America's Mayor that I have expressed admiration for.

This is not one of them.

I have deep reservations over an adult who refuse to be The Adult.

Powerplays over acceptance of Ones' Latest Heart throb, especially for someone who is on Wife #3 is not an indication of a magnanimous character.

It also does not speak well for his current wife, who should be encouraging his relationships with his children, and seeking to win them over herself.

Dear ShawTaylor,

Although almost half of marriages end in divorce, a good estimate of how many folks divorce is probably in the range of 25% - 30% of folk who marry at least once.

That's because a large number of the divorces that occur are from folks like Mr. Giuliani, who are little more than serial polygamists. We'll see how long "wife" #3 lasts. Perhaps if Mr. Giuliani is elected president, we'll all be "treated" to an adulterous president who divorces and remarries while in the White House.

But that wasn't the point.

Lots of folks divorce and re-marry. Responsible adults who re-marry understand that, especially in the early years of the new "marriage," some allowance must be made for the feelings of the children damaged and abused by the adults' inability to maintain the marital bond.

This article reports that rather than leave "wifey" #3 home for certain important events in the recent aftermath of Mr. Giuliani's remarriage, that Mr. Giuliani has chosen to absent himself from important events in the lives of his children, including his son's high school graduation.

Perhaps that's a falsehood, and I'm open to hearing that that's not what happened.

But if it did - if Mr. Giuliani missed Andrew Giuliani's high school graduation because the "other woman" wasn't welcome, then Mr. Giuliani is a low-life scum.
