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.
If republicans are stupid enough to nominate Rudy, we deserve Hillary.
Who knows, its always so sad. Hopefully someday this will change for Rudy, even tho with RR, it took his death for his daughter to come around.
He 'bugged out' in 2006--when he could have done our country, his Party, and his state a HUGE service by defeating Hillary--removing her from the Senate, damaging her Presidential ambitions, and keeping control of the Senate.
He can spare us his efforts now!
I agree!!! We do NOT need two political parties 'to-the-left-of-center'!
Maureen wasn’t adopted.
Duh! Thanks. Still think the difference in the two sets of kids is more about the mother than the father.
Always thought Nancy was a bit neurotic and needy and I think her children inherited those traits both via nature and nurture.
Sad that the Reagan line hit a genetic dead end.
I have always thought that whatever her other faults, Jane Wyman must have been a pretty good mother.
The younger two are clearly spoiled rotten.
"Once, Twice, Three times a lady."
wow, Freepers quoting the Village Voice (a free published version of the Nation with sex ads) and NY Magazine (a limousine liberal NYC version of People)
the Rudy Derangement Syndrome is kicking in
I aims to please...
Yet 1/3 the conservative...
Thanks, I was just stating the reason given for for his withdrawal from the senate race. Nothing more or less. People sure are touchy around here.
