Giuliani's Mistress Used N.Y. Police as Taxi Service
Source: ABC

Well before it was publicly known he was seeing her, then-married New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani provided a police driver and city car for his mistress Judith Nathan, former senior city officials tell the Blotter on ABCNews.com.

"She used the PD as her personal taxi service," said one former city official who worked for Giuliani.

New York papers reported in 2000 that the city had provided a security detail for Nathan, who became Giuliani's third wife after his divorce from Donna Hanover, who also had her own police security detail at the same time.

The former city officials said Giuliani expanded the budget for his security detail at the time. Politico.com reported yesterday that many of the security expenses were initially billed to obscure city agencies, effectively hiding them from oversight.

3. Those cops could have been actually serving the city.
Instead, they were used to make it easier for Rudy to boink that skank.

4. Let's here his explanation on this one. This pompous crook

I wonder if he will.

5. Decades ago....
I worked as a caseworker for NYC. I also dated someone who was - let's just say he worked in the courts. Months after we started dating, he wanted to give me a sign that I could put in my car window that would let me park anywhere any time in the city and never get ticketed. I declined. It just didn't seem right. And I'm still glad I did. What if someone questioned it and he got in trouble?

I'm no saint. But Jesus Christ on a parking meter! The Repukes just go balls out in their corruption from the ground up.

22. Good for you...
My wife worked as the County jail psychiatrist here in Alabama and had a sign that said "Office County Business" that allowed her the same rights to park anywhere anytime. She would refuse to use it unless she was on official business.

Of course, she is a good Democrat so it shouldn't be surprising :D !

9. THAT is total BS! My best friend was a cop in Pa. He's retired now, but
I KNOW they wern't ever permitted to "give courtesy rides" or any other transportation in their patrol car! Tey are insured to carry prople they arrest, and other officers, but NO rides...even I some official made arrangements to pay for the service. I realize that was Pa. and not NY, but somehow I believe the same regulations apply!

I'm thinkin' Rudy is TOAST!

He didn't even have to stop but he picked me up and took me to the garage that was woking on my car. It was pretty nice of him.

51. Perhapse laws are different there, or MAYBE things like that are
just overlooked. Yes it was very nice of him to do that. All I'm saying is that MY BEST FRIEND wouldn't drive me 2 blocks to a top & Go store when I aksed him. He said he would have loved to be able to, but he could lose his job if someone saw him and reported it.

21. Keep it going
Guliani will not survive investigations into his past, and he won't be the nominee for the Republican Party.

Come to think of it...too bad...he'd be an easy kill in the election.

I don't mind if people get called on it as long as it's CONSISTENT across the board.

With Rudy, though, it seems like a harbinger of things to come.

30. clinton's accusers were paid lots of $ to make the accusation
Accusations against Clinton were not proven and they were disputed.

Giuliani has not disputed what's alleged and he was just asked about it.

Now what's the bigger gaffe.

Anyway, like I said, nice knowing you.

but finally everyone realized that it was crazy to keep paying them for what everyone always knew was bullshit so they went away.

take the time to read this. I was unaware how unfounded the whole thing was. Shows what the big lie can do.
Joe Conason's "The Hunting of the President"

Speaking of BIG LIES read "Big Lies" by Conason too-it is a great overview of how systematically everyone getting American media really is.

44. And George Bush uses Air Force One as his personal SUV
and when he goes jetting across the country vacationing, eating birthday cake while Katrina floods, golfing, strumming guitars, and doing endless campaigning for his GOP fellow turds, he brings along dozens of Chimp Fluffers, concubines, jock sniffers, and sundry worthless characters all on the taxpayer's dime.

33. This is actually more serious...
Last year, New York State's newly elected State Controller was forced to resign after it was revealed his wife was getting the same service from Govt employees. Needless to say, the New York Post and local media were piling on the outrage and criticism. It's going to hard for them not to pick up the same storylines this time if the evidence is clear enough.
