you choose to believe donna hanover's version of the event - the "I found out at the press conference".

what happened th Thompson's first wife? maybe if someone interviewed her, we could learn as much as we know about Rudy. you see, its all about who you talk to and who you ask. Donna Hanover was a strident b**ch, that the NYC media lapped up because they were looking for dirt on Rudy, so she got alot of play.

The point is not what she is or was. The point is his character as he is the one running. His children admit estrangement. I saw at least some of that press conference and thought it strange at the time.

Are the mistresses and extra limosines only press lies, too? Did he really force Bratton out as chief over personalities? The MSM will have a field day with all this (and buddy Bernard Kerik's troubles) and leave no rock unturned.

I'm sure they are digging already in order to tell us what happened to Thompson's first marriage-- her version. And any exhumed bones of past Thompson mistakes will receive a microscopic autopsy.

I think the difference is one man goes through an apparently amicable divorce in 1985, meets another woman 11 years later and marries her six years later.

The other begins an affair while still married to his wife - Twice (Thrice?).

If the rumors are true about what happened and the reason for Thompson's divorce it will make Rudy's divorce look like nothing. Now these are just rumors but if they are true they are juicy juicy juicy.
