The revelation that Rudy Giuliani made $16 million over 16 months - has created a few ripples. FDNY Deputy Fire Chief Jim Riches told WCBS 2, "[Giuliani's] making all this money on the backs of my dead son and all the other dead victims that day." And the Village Voice's Wayne Barrett, who co-wrote the book Grand Illusion:The Untold Story of Rudy Giuliani and 9/11, said, "He's recycled his 9/11 talk for up to $200,000, you know, (based on) what happened that morning and then he has the six principals of leadership, and the seventh should be milk a tragedy for millions."
Rudy Makes a Lot and Pays Judi a Lot
Judi Giuliani: A Wonderful Tabloid Cover Lady
After your eyes adjust from the clutter of baseball coverage and win-millions-type games, you may notice that Judith Giuliani, the woman the former mayor says would make a "wonderful first lady," is on the covers of both the Post and Daily News. Congratulations on the exacta, Judi!
Giuliani Says Judi Will Be "Wonderful First Lady"
Set your DVRs, because tomorrow night's 20/20 should be a doozy. The Barbara Walters interview with Rudy and Judith Giuliani will air, and they talk about marriages (and divorces), their first meeting ("instant" attraction), and how Rudy would be fine if Judi sat in on policy meetings at the White House. Oh, yes. According to ABC News' preview, Giuliani says, "If [the meetings] were relevant to something that she was interested in. I mean that would be something that I'd be very, very comfortable with."
Rudy Knows All About Judi
With the surprising, though not quite scandalous, news that Judith Giuliani had been married three times (one more time than the widely believed two times), it was a matter of hours before presidential candidate and our former mayor would have to answer questions.
Who Knew Rudy Was Judi's Third Hubby?
Well, we guess this means they are really truly soulmates (!): Judith Giuliani tells Post and Daily News that Rudy Giuliani is her third husband, not her second as most people thought. To the Post, she said, "Something I will share with you is that, since I haven't done (many) interviews .. Rudy and I have both been married three times." We can see it now: The Giuliani spin machine goes with a "The Third Time's a Charm" message!
Rudy Raises Money From Home Town Crowd
Last night, former mayor Rudy Giuliani had his NYC fundraiser at the Sheraton. The theme was baseball, and guests paid $2,300-a-plate to eat Crackerjack, ice cream and hot dogs. (Maybe there were other things; the entire menu was not disclosed.) The Post reports that Giuliani stood before a faux-Yankee Stadium backdrop and said, "I think we make a mistake when we call it the war on terror, because it is their war on us... I have come face to face with America's soul, and I have been sustained by it - I got through Sept. 11 not because of me, but because of other people."
