Giuliani says cops ordered Nathan's security

WASHINGTON - Rudy Giuliani said yesterday his then-girlfriend Judith Nathan was entitled to security escorts on the taxpayer's dime because it was the New York Police Department - not Giuliani - who determined she was in danger.

But the former mayor grew defensive when asked whether a hypothetical presidential "mistress" should likewise get Secret Service protection.

"It would not be appropriate to do it for that reason," Giuliani shot back on NBC's "Meet the Press," but appeared to leave open the door if that woman somehow faced a security threat.

Speaking of security arrangements for Nathan, now his wife, he said, "Every single thing that was done for Judith or for me or for anybody else close to me, was based upon threat assessments made by other people who are professionals here. ... They made the choice."

I’m sure the cops also ordered him to spread the expenses across a number of obscure small agencies, so that it would be more obscured from public view.

The “hero” of 9/11 is sounding more and more Clintonesque every minute.

Yep, talk about a Trojan Horse. I'd feel better if he wanted to run against Hillary to at least challenge her on his real party line, Democrat, and join the fray in the Democrat nomination race.

More New York corruption. Bernie Kerik wasn’t the only skeleton lying in Rudy’s closet, and I’m sure that more of these revelation will soon come.

I'm sure Bill & Hillary should be the source here. Hillary, since she's now in the drivers seat, may be the deciding vote. I'm sure that Bill, being in the back seat, is busy.

“Giuliani said yesterday his then-girlfriend Judith Nathan was entitled to security escorts on the taxpayer’s dime because it was the New York Police Department - not Giuliani - who determined she was in danger”

Read: Donna Hannover was going to KICK HER BUTT!!! That’s why she was in danger.

Moreover, why was Judy “in danger” and not just needed “protection”? There’s a difference b/w “danger” and just plain ‘ol “protection”, doncha know...

And Rudy put them in the position of having to make that choice.

Was it a coincidence that this “baggage” had some of the colors of the rainbow flag on some of the pieces of luggage?

Why the hell do politicians believe taxpayers are financially responsible for the care and keeping of their damned skanks while committing adultery?

If they’re not “dipping their pen” in the company ink well — they’re trying to elevate their non-employee skanks to a level of respect or worth they’re clearly not entitled to...

Rudy may have some fine attributes -— but character and class aren’t among them....

I’ve been to Nathans’ at Coney Island, and frankly don’t know what all the fuss is about - A little extra security for a NYC icon?

What?

Oh.

Nevermind.
