It has not been an easy few months for Judith Giuliani. Her rollout to the public received rocky reviews from the political class, Republicans included. A series of negative articles about her shopping habits, marital past and supposedly testy relations with campaign staff followed. Her appearances alongside her husband, Rudolph W. Giuliani, grew suddenly scarce — and some analysts suggested that she keep it that way.
So it was perhaps no surprise that at a recent lunch in downtown Manhattan, Mrs. Giuliani offered this self-assessment: “When it comes to politics, I’m new to this.”
Over the course of a two-hour interview, Mrs. Giuliani, 53, talked for the first time about how she met Mr. Giuliani and about their first date. (He asked her out, she said.)

“I’m sure that’s something that can get one into, you know — ” She did not finish the thought, but allowed her hands to flutter cautiously before going on. “But I try to remain me. And again, part of that is not doing anything more than I have to in terms of making myself in any way a distraction from what my husband is trying to do for America.”
Not becoming a distraction to her husband, a front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination, appears to be an elusive goal.

...she cuts a figure that Mr. Giuliani’s aides say will appeal to Republican voters. Husband and wife agree that Laura Bush is a model for Mrs. Giuliani.
But Judith carries some distinctly un-Laura baggage. Like her husband, she has been married twice before. They also had a secret affair for a year before Mr. Giuliani announced it to the world — and to his second wife, Donna Hanover — at a news conference.

These are not “questions.” They are ludicrous liberal Talking Points, each followed by a question mark.
Dear Graymatter,
Yeah, I thought that line was kinda funny, too. Stupid, but funny.
My Republican wife finds Mrs. Giuliani III disgusting.

“These are not “questions.” They are ludicrous liberal Talking Points, each followed by a question mark.”
No, these are genuine concerns about unintended consequences you may not have considered. All you can reply with is scripted ad hominem attacks against the messenger whilst neglecting to address the questions.
If it came down to Guilani against Hillary or Obama, and you didn’t vote for Rudy, I would consider you treasonous.
I'd sooner be shot at dawn than vote for a death-mongering fascist like Rudy.
