The Rudy and Judi Show

2007_02_rudyjudi.JPGIt's total News Corp. synergy! Rudy Giuliani teased his presidential campaign plans for the gazillionth time to Sean Hannity on Fox News last night, but let's talk about the nutty Post cover of Giuliani and wife Judi Nathan making out. Okay, they aren't making out - it's apparently an arty photograph for the next issue of Harper's Bazaar. Even though the picture makes us want to dig out our eyes, Judi looks like a foxy femme fatale. And then we read the Post article:

"I've always liked strong, macho men, and Rudy - I'm not saying this because he's my husband - is one of the smartest people on the planet," gushed the former Judith Nathan to Harper's Bazaar in editions due out Feb. 20.

"What people don't know is that Rudy's a very, very romantic guy. We love watching 'Sleepless in Seattle.' Can you imagine my big testosterone-factor husband doing that?"

Describing Rudy, a former federal prosecutor, as "the Energizer Bunny with no rechargeable batteries," Judi said, "One of the most remarkable things about my husband, who sleeps three or four hours a night, is his energy level and stamina.

"I truly believe that one of the keys to a successful marriage is not trying to change your partner: This is the person I fell in love with. And I married a man who loves to work, never takes time off, because if you like what you do, you won't need to.

"He's also a great listener, rather unusual for such a decisive action person, and very loving - never forgetting anything, obsessing over gifts, wanting to get everyone something they really like," Judi Giuliani said. "

Okay, that's great, Rudy's an awesome gift giver. But next President of the United States? And having a lot of testosterone? Sure, male baldness is linked to having lots of testosterone, but hold your horses, lady.

Mrs. Giuliani was in NH when Rudy made an analogy between NYC and Iraq.

What's up with those diamonds? Giuliani Partners must be doing damn good.

 

So, the third Mrs. Guiliani says that Rudy always wants to get people exactly what they want?

What about the radios, Rudy? Let's talk about the radios!

To all of the trolls who think of this sissy-boy with a bully's mask as some kind of hero, Rudy bought 2-way radios for the NYC Firefighters that were about 10 years outdated. They did not work inside of buildings. (Now, think about New York City for a moment. Buildings, right? Right. To the firefighters, radios that don't let them talk with one another inside buildings are useless.) They did not let the Firefighters and Police talk with one another. Police and Firefighters NEED to communicate, during fires and especially during emergencies. The Firefighters did not want them, and said so. The firefighter brass did not want them, and said so. Rudy knew best, of course, and gave the no-bid contract (in violation of city and stste laws) to a campaign donor) and bought the radios. The ones that the Firefighters and Police did not want. The ones that did not work properly. The ones with outdated technology and big price tags. On Sept. 11, the Police Firefighters inside the World Trade Center buildings had only these useless radios. They could not communicate with one another inside the buildings, and they could not communicate with the Police. Who knows how many brave men and women died on that day because RUDY'S RADIOS DID NOT WORK?!?!?! I would say that their brave blood is on his hands, but I have too much respect for them, and too much contempt for Rudy.

So, Rudy... tell us about the radios, won't you? Tell us about the radios.

 

A little vomit just came up in my mouth.

 

Wow, thanks for that totally unbiased piece!

 

Step aside Bradangelina, RudyJudi have arrived. (Ugh)

 

So what would be the difference? A lot of people would say that we already have a president with a lot of testosterone. (Way too much, in fact.) And a lot of Hillary-bashers would say she has too much, too.

 

Um... ewww...

And Sommelier is dead right. If the 9/11 Whore is going to co-opt our national tragedy to enhance his own maniacal rise to power, he could at least pause to tell the truth...

Then again, when was the last time a whore told the truth?

 

nah, I don't like RudyJudi, I'm going with RuJu

 

it should just be rudi.

but that picture is so disturbing.

 

Doesn't anyone remember their history??!?! It's Rudith.

 

Doesn't anyone remember their history?!? It's Rudith!

 

Sommelier... just one of many points that Rudy thinks no one is going to remember about his reign.

As to Rudith... eww.

 

Radios and Bernard Kerik to start with.

Rudith... That works!

 

Tim N and his usually Democrap whining. Anything the other side does is bad but when we do the same thing it's ok. You're a terrible example for your side. You can bash Rudy when you take John Edwards to the cleaners for his blaxploitation launching of his campaign in New Orleans. Or Chuck Schumer's constant fear mongering over terrorism.

 

Girlfriend has had a boatload of work done! Sheesh. Rude-y @$$hole looks pretty Botoxy too, actually.

 

I hope the "rent is too high" guy runs for President, we need to do something about bringing back the middle class to NYC.

 

All his opponents have to do is air a commercial with a pic Rudy dressed as Marilyn Monroe (or whatever he was supposed to be that time he wore that blonde wig and dress on stage). All those god-fearin', gun-totin' good ol' boys in the farmbelt and south will take one look at Rudy in drag and have a hemmorage. "Why is that boy dressed like a lady? I thought he was plumb full of testosterone!" Try explaining "comedy drag" to joe six pack, Rudy. Oh--and P.S.---you're bald!

 

Did a quick check and that Rudy-as-Marilyn clip is all over YouTube. Man, oh man-- wait 'til the Bible Thumpers get a load of macho man Rudy in lipstick, pearls and fur flirting with Trump! You will not be able to explain that nightmare away as "satire" or "all in good fun" to a bunch of evangelicals in south carolina or alabama. Impossible. Their ears will close at the sight of that platinum wig on Rudy's bald head and come primary day they will flee from him like a biblical plague. He's toast.

 

It's geriatric porn! Eeew!!!

Wonder why Judi looks so much younger/better than when she appeared on the Rudi scene. When, incidentally, he was still married to the mother of his children. Only her plastic surgeon knows for sure.

 

Maybe she's been plasticized but she's still cross eyed

This photo (and the interview) is creepy. I remember the prom dress photos she posed in when they got married. Mutton dressed as lamb.
This is a serious lapse in his judgement.
I don't know if I could deal w/ them in the white house w/ their oversharing.
My sympathies to his kids and his ex.
