Don’t freak out. LOL
Excerpt from Wikepedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudy_Giuliani
Most famously, Mayor Giuliani appeared in public dressed in women’s clothing three times:
On March 1, 1997, at the New York Inner Circle press dinner, an annual event in which New York politicians and the press corps stage skits, roast each other and make fun of themselves, with proceeds going to charity.[48] In his appearance he first imitated Marilyn Monroe. Then, he appeared in a spoofing stage skit “Rudy/Rudia” together with Julie Andrews, starring at the time on Broadway in the cross-dressing classic Victor/Victoria (about a woman pretending to be a man pretending to be a woman). Under his drag name “Rudia” and wearing a spangled pink gown, Giuliani said he was “a Republican pretending to be a Democrat pretending to be a Republican.”[49][50]
On November 22, 1997, during his Saturday Night Live hosting role, he played an Italian American grandmother in a bright floral dress during a long sketch that satirized Italian American family rites at Thanksgiving time.[51]
On March 11, 2000, at another Inner Circle dinner. He was on stage in male disco garb spoofing John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever, but also appeared in drag in taped video clips which reworked the “Rudy/Rudia” theme again.[52] These included a bit in which he flirts with (normally dressed) real estate mogul Donald Trump, then slaps Trump for trying to get too “familiar” with him,[53][54] and then afterward in an exchange with Joan Rivers that sought to make fun of his then-Senate race rival and fellow dinner attendee Hillary Rodham Clinton.[55]
In October 2001, Giuliani agreed to appear in drag on the gay-themed television series Queer as Folk to raise aid money for gay and lesbians affected by the September 11 attacks, saying “If it means more money for relief funds, sure.”[56] However, the appearance never took place.
What is sleazy is the dishonest portrayal of a comedy routine as if it were the factual life of a political opponent. Some are trying to dishonestly smear Giuliani for political purposes. If these same tactics were being done to their chosen candidates, they’d be furious.
Dishonest attempts to portray his appearances in those skits as anything but a comedy spoof, shows a lack of integrity on the people doing so, IMHO.
BTW, I am NOT a Rudy supporter.
