[...] Not surprisingly, former New York mayor Giuliani is incredibly defensive regarding the media’s treatment of his wife. “There’s plenty to attack me about. Please do it, but maybe, you know, show a little decency.” He asked that Judith, as “a civilian, to use the old mafia distinction,” be removed from the line of media fire. [...]

I have to agree with honora. I was struck with the irony of Rudy’s statement.

If I were President, I would appoint my Wife to a high-level Cabinet position just to piss of the life long politico’s (you know, those that stay in office for more than two terms) and the MSM lackeys that support them. A little revolution now and then can be a good thing.

Marriages are like cats. One, fine. Two, ok. Three, getting a little dicey…..

I find it hilarious that Rudy is going all pious, “no personal attacks on my wife”, when in fact HE launched very foul attacks on HIS OWN WIFE–#2–when he was attempting to ditch her in favor of wife #3. Does this pass the laugh test?

If the attacks were personal attacks, then they were out of line.

However, if the attacks were attacks on whether or not she was qualified to participate in cabinet meetings – well, that seems legitimate.

By saying that she might participate in the political process if he’s elected, Rudy makes his wife a public figure. However, if the attacks were personal in nature, the media was out of line (not that they have ever cared about that).

Too unattractive with no hair… same fate as Hillary – although in her case it’s has to do with her gender (sadly enough, but true)…

Gulliani didn’t show decency to his second wife… , no?

He is just in it to make a little cash before Rommney wins it…

It’s things like this where Rudy shines the most. You see, whenever any standard politician voices concern about things like this, it just sounds fake. But with Rudy, every word is as genuine as can be. I love it, “Please attack me.” That’s classy. He just said give his wife a break.

Compare his approach to the many other politicians and their garbled statements that request privacy. Rudy wins again.

Has anybody asked Hillary if she became president (shudder), would Bill be allowed in some cabinet meetings?

Was it really necessary to refer to her as his third wife?

Of course it is. But don’t you dare say Barack Obama’s middle name.Or Barack for that matter, he’s “Barry” y’all.

Rudi’s just fed the media some Prime New York Strip Red Meat. This could easily lead to daily poke-in-the-eye pieces about Judy.

I don’t know if Rudi is just thin-skinned, or if he’s waiting as long as he can before he pulls out some serious Noo Yawk manners and either responds in kind, or we start seeing some juicy in flagrante delicto information begin to mysteriously appear about media folks.

[...] Rudolf Giuliani shows what it takes and what Mrs. Clinton does not have, balls. From Ian, Hot Air, with video: The former New York City mayor is fending off increased media scrutiny of his third wife — the former Judith Nathan. Rudy is now asking the media to back off. [...]

He’s not ready for primetime, but he’ll be the next president never the less. I’ve been saying Rudy vs. Hillary, with Rudy winning for a while… He’s not “my candidate”, but this is just the way it’s going to be. (Unless a lot of things change)

Reminds me of back in the day while in grade school . . . is that your comeback? If that’s all he’s got then how is he going to keep them at bay when he’s in the White House?

P.S. Rudy, support Fred!, think of your children, think of your wife.

Good God! Didn’t he learn anything the first two times!

No chance of the media backing off. He got a better chance of having cocktails with O.B.L. tonight.

After Rudy said his wife would join some cabinet meetings, the media went into a feeding frenzy.

Why wouldn’t they? 40 plus Presidents later and she would be the first wife with any input.
