RUDY: SHE'S NO EVIL STEPMOM; DEFENDS JUDI FROM HIS SON'S PARENT RAP (Judi's bitter divorce saga)
NY POST ^ | March 6, 2007 | GEOFF EARLE with Maggie Haberman

Posted on 03/06/2007 3:27:51 AM PST by Liz

Rudy Giuliani vigorously defended his wife, Judith, as the perfect stepmom just days after his son, Andrew, revealed he doesn't get along with her. "My wife, Judith, is a loving and caring mother and stepmother," Giuliani told reporters after a meeting with Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and county sheriffs.....he stood foursquare behind his wife, whose highly public relationship with Giuliani began while he was still married to the mother of his two kids.

Andrew Giuliani bluntly disclosed.... "There's obviously a little problem that exists between me and his wife." Sources familiar with the difficult relationship between the Giuliani kids and their stepmom said it started deteriorating before the couple married June 2003, but went south quickly after the wedding.

Giuliani's kids had hoped to carve out time to spend with their dad alone as things got worse, but he opted against it, the sources said.

At the same time, Rudy was involved in the life of Judith's daughter, Whitney, and even spoke at her graduation from York Preparatory school in May 2004. Sources say Giuliani has not visited Andrew at Duke, and that his relations with Caroline also are strained....even worse than with his son. Before she wed Giuliani, Judith went through a bitter court fight with Bruce Nathan over who would have custody of their daughter. Her ex-husband filed court papers in 2001 that said his daughter ran away from her mother when she was 16 and voluntarily moved in with him during the time when her mother was regularly at Giuliani's side in public while he was trying to get a divorce from Hanover.

Yep.

Reagan made his living in (gasp!) Hollywood. Many of his friends were (gasp!) gay. He was (gasp!) divorced, and his wife was (gasp!) pregnant when they married.

Oh my...

Liz, the NYPost has supported John McCain in the 2000 election.

The NYPost printed a full page headline after 9/11 .........BUSH KNEW........Hitlery took that paper to the floor of the Senate and waved it around for all the world to see.

The NYPost's Murdoch has held fundraisers for Hitlery Clinton

If you want to use the MSM as your bible for truth. So be it!

Some people have tabloid brains. They can't separate news from sensationalism. The Rudy-haters will take junk from wherever they can find it.

Donna Hanover opened her own office at Gracie Mansion on taxpayer funds and she appeared in "The Vagina Monologues" while she was the First Lady of New York City. She's no saint either.

Did she deserve the treatment she got as detailed in post #361?

A simple yes or no will suffice.

PS - Liz? Excellent archive and research work!

In an earlier episode, RedIrish said:

Seriously, are you (veronica) ok?

And our erstwhile Queen of the RudyBots said:

Yes. Are you? Thanks for asking.

Veronica, the tenor of your posts, and the hysteria they project, suggest that you being 'ok' is entirely subjective.

Hint #1: Try the decaf.

HOLY BUTTERY MUFFINS BATMAN! A POLITICIAN WITH A ROCKY PERSONAL LIFE!

George Ryan dropped out of his race for less. Let's hope Rudy takes the cue. He's got more baggage than Zsa Zsa Gabor.

Perhaps it is you who should seek help. Obsession is not a healthy state of mind, particularly when it is driven by irrational hatred.

"Suddenly the MSM is the bible."

Aren't you the same folks (Rudybots) who were screaming and hollering recently about Rudy's high poll numbers...using Newsweek and other MSM sources?

Do I smell a whiff of hypocrisy here? Yep, I think I do.

Ohhhh don't worry, just like termites in a lumber yard, they haven't left, they've just gone to another corner in search of some different tasting timber.

They'll be back.

I have never cited any polls in any of my posts.

Don't believe them, never have.

Unlike some who decided that the polls were correct and the actual election numbers were incorrect.

It will be a cold day in hell when I will consider anything from Newsweak or any other MSM source.

Rasmussen isn't the MSM per se.

Neither are many polling organizations, such as Tarrance Group, etc.
