Judith Giuliani always dreamed big, which got her out of small-town Pennsylvania, through two marriages, and into the arms of Rudy Giuliani. But, as her husband runs for president, people are asking, "Who does she think she is?"
It was the first anniversary of 9/11 at Ground Zero, an occasion when the names of the dead were read aloud. The first reader was to be Rudy Giuliani, New York's mayor at the time of the disaster, whose actions during those terrible days would prove a political boon. An army of policemen flanked him?an excessive number, spectators thought, since, due to the hundreds of dignitaries gathered, security outside was extremely tight.
Inside the tent were Secretary of State Colin Powell, New York governor George Pataki, Richard Grasso, who was then head of the New York Stock Exchange, and New York mayor Michael Bloomberg. Senator Hillary Clinton stood in the aisle?until she was unceremoniously pushed by a phalanx of four burly cops entering the tent, these guarding Judith Nathan, Giuliani's girlfriend. No apologies were offered, one observer noted.
"The nerve of that woman!" Hillary exploded, recalling that her own daughter's Secret Service detail evaporated soon after Bill Clinton left office. Why should an ex-mayor's girlfriend get such royal treatment? "Who does she think she is?" Hillary said to an observer, who later recounted the story.
An interesting question. Who does Judith Stish Ross Nathan Giuliani think she is? These days, even with her husband, a freshly minted multi-millionaire, far ahead of the competition in the Republican presidential polls, no one, least of all Judith, 52, seems to have a clue. In a way, this is understandable. There have been so many different Judiths. As her second husband, Bruce Nathan, has told friends, "She is in an ever changing mode upward."

Doesn't that more closely resemble the trajectory of someone shot out of a cannon? ;)
Um, EXCUSE me ? The author of this piece needs to step away from the bong and smell the Fred.
I don’t know — cannonballs usually have a big crash at the end. We’ll have to wait and see about that part. For now, she’s in the “extra plane seat reserved for her designer handbag” stage. ;)
“Ah, elitists with entitlement issues”
LOL!
From Wikipedia:
She met and entered into a serious relationship with Woodhull Hospital clinical psychologist Manos Zacharioudakis;[17] she and her daughter lived with him for four years, until early 1999.[17] Meanwhile, she became one of Bristol-Myers' top sales managers, [18][6] by 1997 managing a 12-person sales team.[1]
Judith Nathan met Mayor Giuliani in Spring 1999[14] by accident in circumstances she prefers to keep private[7][19] (published reports say she frequented an Upper East Side cigar bar that Giuliani was known to go to[1][4]). Giuliani was still married at the time to his second wife, Donna Hanover, although that
Fred Thompson is not a current candidate for President.

In our opinion, Rudy Giuliani had the best July, followed closely by Mitt Romney.

(These will be our last rankings for a month, not because we don’t like to write them, but because we want to pause for a month and revisit the race after Labor Day, when a restart is inevitable.)

Poll Alert: American Research Group - Rudy Giuliani Takes the Lead in IA, SC, NH
http://race42008.com/2007/07/31/poll-alert-american-research-group-rudy-giuliani-takes-the-lead-in-ia-sc-nh/
Giuliani leads Fred Thompson 29% to 25% among Republicans in South Carolina, while Fred Thompson leads Giuliani 43% to 17% among independents in South Carolina, with McCain at 14%. The MOE is ± 4.
The main criticism of ARG polls around the blogosphere is that they oversample Independents. So let’s all agree to concentrate on just the Republican results. In these polls (all with a MOE of ± 4) Mitt leads Rudy 24% to 21% in IA, Rudy leads Mitt 31% to 29% in NH, and Hizzoner bests FDT in SC 29% to 25%.
I wasn’t aware that Fred was actually running. When did he announce?
Don’t be an ass.
Folks in my world have a name for folks like Rudy, and for his wife....
How is it that these low lifes rise to such high positions?
Society’s bar of acceptable character and accomplishments is moving ever faster to toward the ground
A Giuliani White House would speed the descent.
Rudy & Judy, isn’t that sweet? Goes together like Billy & Hilly, Pomp and Circumstance, Snot & Boogers.
If you dare to say anything about it--that is, anything except praise--you're being "intolerant" and "judgmental."
yes, that needs to be brought out a bit more. a woman with the morals of an ally cat, living in the WH as first lady is pretty mind boggling.
Vanity Fair continues its long slimey tradition of publishing puff pieces for democrats and slamming Republicans.
Giuliani’s behavior and actions leading to this marriage — is not consistent with the character and judgment I would want in a President...
In this case — Giuliani is as overreaching in his ambitions as is his obviously disreputable and overused wife.
One would have to wonder if his oath of office would mean any more to him than his marriage vows?
Right..
I have been “intolerant” and “judgmental” my entire long life..
In fact — being so probably explains HOW I’ve survived so long, retained my “saintly” wife of 46 years and enjoyed a very successful and fruitful life.....
HEY! Some respect for ally cats here, please! Geez.
So why wouldn't they publish puff stuff abut THIS liberal POS?
