The man was married. He very publicly paraded Judith around under Donna Hanover's nose. I don't care what the state of his marriage was. He was still married. Decent married men don't have mistresses. Period. If your marriage is bad you work on it. If you can't fix it, you end it properly. Do you remember Bill Clinton and Monica? And yes, I want to make a big deal over a couple of hundred bucks. The bucks didn't belong to Rudy. People have a right to expect politicians to pay for personal expenses out of their private funds, not taxpayer funds. This is about character and honesty. A man who lies and cheats in his personal life will lie and cheat in his professional life.
That isn't the worst of it. Mrs. Giuliani had to get a retraining order to make him stop bringing his bimbo into the family home where she and his kids lived. I fail to see how anyone can defend him after that,
