Rudy Giuliani

Rudy Giuliani is an aggressive bald Italian guy. He started out as a lawyer in the Reagan justice department and prosecuted a lot of wall street types and some mafia guys. Then Guiliani ran for mayor of New York. After Giuliani's first loss, Guliani ran again and won. During his two terms crime was reduced dramatically, but many people were turned off by his aggressive personality. Rudy ... had a very bad combover--a few very long strands of hair combed over his mostly bald head, which Rudy eventually cut off when he had his weiner irradiated.

Rudy Giuliani, best known for his time as NYC Mayor during the 9/11 terrorist attacks, is part lawyer part politician. In the 1970s, Giuliani went from being a Democrat to being an Independent, then, in the 1980s to the present he has claimed himself to be a Republican. Prior to becoming Mayor of New York City for two terms (1994-2001), Giuliani served in the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, a placement which later made him a U.S. Attorney. As Mayor, he was credited with crime reduction and strong leadership in the face of great terror. In the lime light ever since, Giuliani has been named Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2001 and was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 2002. Giuliani has been married three times, once to his second cousin (Regina Peruggi), and currently to Judith Nathan.

For a guy who made his name attacking the mob, Rudy Giuliani has a surprising number of mob ties himself, including his father Harold -- a convicted felon who, according to the book "Rudy! An Investigative Biography", was involved (with Rudy's uncle Leo) in a shoot-out with a mob competitor. The book charges that Harold's best friend Lou Carbonetti, Jr. was a mobbed-up Democratic Party leader with connections to the boxing world. Harold Guiliani did prison time for robbery and served as the collector for Giuiliani's uncle Leo. And yes, Rudy Giuliani is a fan of the Sopranos, but that doesn't prove NOTHING.

With today's National Press Club endorsement of Rudy Giuliani for President, televangelist Pat Robertson has “stuck a fork” in the religious right. He believes thrice-married, pro-choice, gay rights-supporting and sometimes drag queen Rudy is "more acceptable to people of faith." Go figure.

Did you know that the nationally respected and historically top-tier U.S. Attorney's office for the Southern District of New York was moribund and doomed before a crusading young prosecutor named Rudy Giuliani took it over in 1983? It's true! Rudy said so the other day while defending his criminal BFF Bernie Kerik! And it was news, apparently, to Rudy's predecessor as U.S. Attorney, John Martin. Martin has some crazy idea that Giuliani is taking too much credit for the work of others, though we know the man who single-handedly saved the world on 9/11 and reduced the national crime rate and was so effective as mayor of New York that its much ballyhooed renaissance began before he even took office would never do that. Martin, probably one of those soft-on-crime communist former U.S. Attorneys, went to the liberal New York Times to voice his petty complaints.

Rudy Giuliani accused his Democratic rivals of embracing health care plans that would amount to socialized medicine. Responding to comments in the first Democratic primary debate Thursday night, Giuliani claimed Democrats favor "mandatory" universal health care and the plans would only exacerbate the cost of care by putting the system in the hands of bureaucrats. "They're moving toward socialized medicine so fast, it'll make your head spin," Giuliani said, adding that private solutions could help bring down the cost of care. "When we want to cover poor people, as we should, we give them vouchers." Democratic candidates renewed their calls for universal health care during a debate in South Carolina, saying that a new system would help streamline costs and cover the nation's 45 million uninsured.
