It appears that Judith Nathan, the current Mrs. Giuliani, may have been enjoying taxpayer-funded car service provided by the police while her affair with former Mayor Giuliani was unknown. Giuliani's admitted that he gave his girlfriend a security detail once their relationship became public because of possible threats against her, but it appears that Nathan was enjoying New York's Finest as a taxi service months before anyone even knew the two were involved with each other.
According to the Daily News, who talked to one of her former neighbors on the Upper East Side, Nathan was often seen hopping in and out of unmarked police cars. According to a law enforcement source, Nathan had as many as seven detectives assigned to her and not only did they drive her around, they acted as personal valets.
"If she had to go shopping, errands, that's where you went," the source said.The "protection" allegedly began in 1999, even before the mayor sprang the news to his wife Donna Hanover that they were separating via a press conference.Other residents at the building said they often saw Nathan coming and going with two well-dressed drivers, who occasionally toted her packages.
"She was always coming back with shopping bags from the different well-known stores in New York," said Jacqueline Elman, a building resident for 12 years who walked her dog regularly and often spotted Nathan, who became the third Mrs. Giuliani in 2003.
Aides to Presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani insist that Nathan was the subject of threats, although no information about the nature or source of the threats has been revealed, let alone how Nathan could become a target before her relationship with the Mayor was made public. When questioned about the matter at a public appearance in Chicago yesterday, Giuliani answered "Thank you. Good night." Rudy is characterizing "Travelgate" as a typical political hitjob. We're sure he hopes the Secret Service can be a little more discreet in the future.





I guess amidst all the brouhaha Judi still emerges as the winner. The question now is if she'll be sticking by her man as his political career slowly flickers aways...
The "threats" to Judi no doubt came from Donna. Something along the lines of, "You better stop messing around with my husband, or else..."

Must we revisit this crap? If you vote for Giuliani, you are by definition a fool. There is no getting around this. He thinks he is above the law, he is arrogant, conceded, thinks less of you then he does of his pets and frankly has lied already, just as Mr. Bush has lied all along. To look at him is to shudder from incredulity that this man could with the help of loyal dolts, become President.
iralarry, It's still news so it gets covered.
Me, I think people should talk about how Mr. 9/11 wanted to get rid of street corner Fire alarm call boxes in favor of public pay phones that may or may not work.
Must we revisit this crap indeed. God forbid we talk about the issues.
If you vote for Giuliani, you are by definition a fool.
No, that's your opinion. Mistaking your opinion for fact is one sign that you're conceited.
East River:
This issue should be dead. It's reiteration of history. Its muckraking as well.
Accepting this inappropriate and likely illegal or minimally capricious, conniving, crooked, deceitful, devious, dishonest, disloyal, dubious, fair-weather, faithless, false, fickle, fink, fly-by-night, guileless, irresponsible, questionable, rat, shady, sharp, shifty*, slippery, sneaky, treacherous, tricky, trustless, two-faced, two-timing, unassured, undependable, unfaithful, unreliable, unsafe, unsure, untrue, behavior of a major political aspirant makes one an uninformed loyalist fool. He already apologized for hiring Kerik. That sound like selling him down the river? That the kind of beast you want running this counrty?
You want to use a big word like conceited and apply it to me, go ahead. Maybe I am but at least it comes from a confidence in my position. Instead of always criticizing other people opinions-I have reviewed some of your posts-try present some of your own in a salient, cogent manner. Let’s hear from you about something important other than Apple Stores and NASCAR. Although I am glad you picked up on the racist vitriol prevalent here. Isn’t it gagging?
