Wayne Barrett, the professional anti-Giuliani, has a piece in this week's Village Voice considering what might have made America's Mayor's daughter, Caroline, grow up to be a Barack Obama supporter.
Some fun details of life at home with the Giulianis:
1. Rudy brought Caroline to City Hall on Take Your Daughters to Work Day in 1994 and 1995, his first two years as mayor, but never again — because by 1996 "the relationship between Giuliani and his twentysomething press secretary had so poisoned the marriage that all such family events were impossible."
2. The Giulianis went on a family vacation after he was elected in 1993 — and then never did again.
3. On Father's Day 1995, Giuliani told reporters he was going to play baseball with his son — and instead went to a basement suite at City Hall with his "ever-present" press secretary.
4. Neither his wife nor his kids went to Rudy's victory party when he was reelected in 1997.
5. The kids aren't listed in Giuliani's bio on his Web page.
6. He skipped his son's high-school graduation.
7. He went to Caroline's but left without speaking to her. "I am celebrating with my mom, my stepfather, my brother, and our other family members," she said then.
Yeah, we'd be supporting someone else for president, too.
...”Wayne Barrett, the professional anti-Giuliani, has a piece in this week’s Village Voice!”
The Village VOice is all you need to know that this is a hit piece, probably good friends with the CLintons, YOU KNOW!
As for Rudy’s daughter voting for Obama, its interesting how the news jumped on her being a part of Obama’s website, but it doesn’t state how she pulled her membership and it also isn’t a confirmation of her voting either.
WE know Rudy isn’t well liked here on FR, but he also isn’t liked at all in liberal corners and if perceived any threat by Hillary & Co, he’ll get alot more of this stuff in the next year, so I’d be wary of any articles...I am anyway, but since all New York papers are trash!
Kinda like their politicians.
If I'd been the mother of snotty Caroline Giuliani, I'd have smacked her upside the head for the OTHER stuff she said on that website. Who cares whom she supports for President? She can't vote. She's 17.
She said that her main interest was "MEN" and that her main pursuit was "HAVING FUN" and that she'll take "WHATEVER SHE CAN GET". Good Grief! The kid would have her Internet access cut off and she would be grounded for a year, if she lived in my house.
Appearances, notwithstanding, doesn't she know that posting remarks like that is a great way to be stalked, attacked, raped, kidnapped, or murdered?
Regarding her brother: He may be busy playing golf, but he also said that he loves his father and that he supported him for President. He doesn't seem to like the stepmother, but most kids don't like their stepmothers, no matter what way they came into their father's lives. The fact that he had the grace to express love and support for his father shows me that he had some decent upbringing.
The son said that he loved his father and supported him for President, even if he didn’t much like his stepmother. I thought that was a gracious quote from a child who undoubtedly did not like his parents’ divorce.
Are you saying Bill Clinton did not sleep with that woman... Ms Lewinsky?
Actually, he “bugged out” of the senate race because the chemotherapy/radiation therapy for his prostate cancer made him too sick to run a race and be a mayor.
I’ve treated a lot of men for this cancer, and warn them about the depression/lack of energy side effects.
Rudi’s wife divorced him as soon as he developed Prostate cancer...if he was having affairs in 1996, why didn’t she do it then, not when he needed the support of a loving wife...
17+1= voting age.
Rudy’s personal life is a soap opera. We will agree to disagree as to why Rudy dropped out. Tony Snow is still doing his job despite undergoing chemo therapy.
In your dreams. What planet are you living on? That the NYT and the VV are after Rudy makes him a MUCH more appealing candidate in my eyes.
For the most part, criticism of Rudy by the MSM has been general, just routine stuff about Rudy being mean to the poor, homelessness, etc.
When Rudy's nominated, the MSM is going to strip him naked. All of Rudy's scandals are going to be front and center, and most conservatives will vote 3rd party.
You really need to wake up and smell the Jack Daniel's.
You are going to get some flak giving facts instead of opinions. Giuliani is routinely trashed on FR. As far as I can tell it begins with his not being “pro-life” and ends with his dressing up as a woman for purposes of entertainment.
No doubt this article will go in the ‘Giuliani Truth File’ at the top of the page. After all the smears and hostility it is going to be hard for anyone favoring Giuliani to suddenly accept, support and vote for Thompson, Hunter et al.
In the meantime, Giuliani leads in most polls. None on FR have been able to explain this. Just the same old and same old smears dressed up with a different author.
Yeah...but who raised them? You mean he didn’t teach them well? Or are they chips off the old blocks?
What happened?
Uh, because he's a dyed-in-the-wool liberal?
As far as I can tell it begins with his not being “pro-life”
Rudy's more pro-abortion than most Democrats.
and ends with his dressing up as a woman for purposes of entertainment.
Rudy's has dressed up in drag at least a half-dozen times.

Good, as it should

Uh, posting the facts is not smears or being hostile.
In the meantime, Giuliani leads in most polls.
Manufactured, obsolete polling data that skews the question to elicit an answer most favorable to the MSM to a select few who still communicates with landline phones.
No one on FR have been able to explain this. Just the same old and same old smears dressed up with a different author.
Yep, we all just like to pick on old Giuliani. keep enjoying that Kool-aid there.
“A nasty man, yes, but always a lady... “
Hilarious! Have seen the pics a million times but your quip is the best I have seen!
“When Rudy’s nominated, the MSM is going to strip him naked. All of Rudy’s scandals are going to be front and center, and most conservatives will vote 3rd party.

Two points of disagreement: 1). People influenced by MSM “Scandals” are not conservatives. They are sheep. 2). Even though I am currently living in TN, I would rather have (and smell) an Islay malt, preferably Bowmore Darkest. If I were a wealthy man, it would be Lagavulin.
In the Reagan example, that the adopted children by the 1st wife turned out well and the biological kids by Nancy turned out poorly probably says more about the mothers than the father.
Also, I don’t recall that the younger Reagan pair refused to have anything to do with their Dad, more like they were a constant embarassment and everyone wished they would.
Sad how Mike and Maureen turned out so well and Patty and Ron are such narcissits
If not ignoring a candidates moral fiber makes one a sheep, let me be the first to say to you:
Baa. I'm off to be sheared.
APf
Nancy is not estraged from Ron Jr!
And he is not gay. He is a flaming liberal. If he were gay he would come out in a heartbeat.
