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.

GGGRRRRRR!!!!!!!!
French manicures gettin’ downright dirty! I think Donna would win, “hands down”.
LOL.
I think that Nathan broad looks pretty tough. What kind of odds are you givin’?
Hmmm... yes, you’re right. The Nathan broad looks mean.
However, I have to say that Donna Hannover carries the emotional turbulance and scorned woman angle, along with 2 Giuliani mouths to feed, so she would absolutely make mincemeat out of Nathan in an imaginary boxing ring.

How modest of him. It almost balances out his posturing as the hero of 9/11 and the man who single handedly cleaned up NYC because of other things professional cops and firefighters did that he also had nothing to do with.
The person who okay’ed Rudy’s security demands for his mistress.....including assigning seven NYPD officers, police cars and drivers to be at Jooty’s beck and call 24/7........ was none other than Rudy’s former bodyguard and driver who he promoted to Police Commissioner......Bernard Kerik.
Yeah, Kerik. The same guy who flopped as Homeland Sec’y nominee.
There, don’t you feel much better about it now. (/sarc)
