Giuliani's Mistress Problem

A report posted on Politico.com Wednesday said that at the time when Giuliani was beginning an extramarital relationship with Judith Nathan, who eventually became his third wife, he billed obscure city agencies thousands of dollars for his police security detail covering trips to visit Nathan. But Giuliani insists that everything was done in the open, “honestly, honorably, above board.”

Only Giuliani could say that using pubic-- I mean public-- funding to enable his adulterous lifestyle was honorable and honest.

And then there is the other mistress. Last month, a federal grand jury indicted Bernard Kerik, Giuliani's police commisioner, on 16 counts. Kerik's mistress was Judith Regan, who recently sued the Murdock empire for $100 million dollars for getting dumped for the O.J. Simpson book "If I Did It". Here is a paragraph from Regan's lawsuit:

“In fact, a senior executive in the News Corporation organization told Regan that he believed she had information about Kerik that, if disclosed, would harm Giuliani’s presidential campaign. This executive advised Regan to lie to, and to withhold information from, investigators concerning Kerik.”

Cherchez la femme is an old French phrase which literally means "look for the woman," and women that Giuliani or his handlers have loved or crossed will continue to dog his campaign.
