Vanity Fair has a very unflattering profile of Judith Giuliani in their latest issue.
I've never met Judith, but I have talked to close associates who have been at meetings in which she accompanied Rudy. In short, they couldn't stand her.
As far as I'm concerned, given the choice between Ann Romney and Judith Giuliani (spouses of the two frontrunners), Ann Romney will win every time (of course, I thought Brad should have chosen Jennifer over Angelina ...).
So if it comes down to the spouses, I guess I'm a Romney fan...

My husband is a full-blooded male who thinks she is an embarrassment. Some men do not find it attractive when a woman has an incessant need to display boobery. |

In referring to Fred Thompson's attractive wife, Soothsayer wrote;
----------------
"Mrs. Frederick of Hollywood-
She'd wouldn't be the First lady, but the First Hooters Girl."
----------------
Soothsayer must be the only red-blooded heterosexual American male who disparages Thompson's foxy wife as if being a hottie is a BAD thing.
Then again, maybe Soothsayer isn't---uh, well,---not that there's anything WRONG with that !

... of course, our greatest Presidents (Lincoln and FDR) had marriages that were unusual, to say the least. |
|

when you wrote this totally irelevant piece? Who cares?...........Presidents wives are all clever women that early on figure out that Truck Drivers cheat on their wives and Presidents cheat on their wives.........Which is best for her?...(Ha-Ha).....If I had to vote on the wives, I would choose Huckabee's wife which chose to marry a Minister before she ever knew a politician........But wives are irelevant.(See Betty Ford) |
|
I think most everyone acknowledges that the Clinton's marriage is a joke. Everyone knows that Bill Clinton is with every woman who will have him if he can get away with it. The Clinton's biggest supporters know this and they don't seem to care.
It is folly to compare them with the rest of us who are invested in our marriages and who actually believe marriage is sacred. |
|
I also am willing to give credit and benefit of the doubt because I don't know enough to judge differently regarding the Clintons holding their marriage together. Congratulations to them and may it keep getting better for them and for all us married couples.
Still, if you can judge a person's values somewhat by their spouse and by their marriage then both Ann and Mitt look very good, especially compared to most of the rest of the candidates. |
|
Could we just get a first lady without also getting a president?
Just a nice figurehead who travels around crusading for literacy or against disease, but has no real power? |
|
No self-respecting person believes that you should stay in a scam marriage. That would be to dishonor marriage, but I won't stop to wonder why you refuse to acknowledge such a notion.
I know that in your heart you do understand the concept of fidelity, devotion to ones spouse, and true love for each other in a marriage, you just don't appear agree with it. And all you are really left with is to mock others. Quite pathetic, actually.
BTW - it's edict. |
|
|
I give you credit for trying to clarify the matter for someone who is apparently inhaling what Bill didn't. |

hi pam, don't you believe in the edit' for better or worse? again is it not better to keep the family together for the sake of the kids? isn't that what ms. schafly had in her column on th a few weeks ago. who knows what one can put up with? i am just citing what the pro-marriage, two-family, man and woman crowd spouts all the time. she forgave her husband, isn't that the christian thing to do? besides, one never knows what one might do if our own loved one was un-faithful to us, do we? |
|
We don't vote for them, but they can reveal a lot about the candidate and his relationships. All of the top tier except Romney have been divorced and sometimes with ugly details.
Obviously Romney is light years ahead of every other viable candidate in this dept. We can draw the conclusion that he is a man who respects women, marriage and families. |
|
Mrs. Clinton is still technically married to Bill for her own political advancement. There is no logical comparison with Ann Romney and Hillary Clinton, and happily not. The Romney's believe in the sanctity of marriage and the Clinton's do not.

Point of Matt's post - Judith Giuliani is regarded as a psycho b-tch from hell!
And as a New Yorker I can confirm the rumors!
And for the record I am a Rudy Giuliani fan!
|
|
|
I guess the best spin might be that Rudy’s "flip-flops" don't seem to have been politically motivated. |
|
She'd wouldn't be the First lady, but the First Hooters Girl.
And Mrs. Giuliani doesn't matter... Rudy can be his own First Lady! |
|
I'd say worrying about wives is an absurd concern, except that Hillary's time in the White House changed all that.
Personally, I can't wait to see the First Husband's first scandal. |
|
She's the perfect candidate's wife and a great asset for Romney. What a contrast she makes with the other GOP hopeful's wives!
She is an intelligent, well-spoken mother of 5 that most women in America will easily relate to. She was a stay-at-home mom and raised 5 successful children. She is dealing with a devestating long-term illness with finesse. Not to mention that she's youthful, trim, beautiful and presents herself with a dignity and a self respect that we hope for in our First Ladies.
I think she would make an absolutely fabulous First Lady. |

i think it is quite admirable for both mrs. romney and mrs. clinton to stay with their husbands, practice the sanctity of marriage and follow the edit' of for better or worse, as espoused by the majority of the far conservative and rabid christian movement. you do agree with this idea, don't you. these two women are to be greatly respected for holding their marriages together in all circumstances. i am sure all aspects of their wedded years have been those of continuous wedded bliss. also one other thing i need to know, are the romneys flds or lds? please clarify. thanks. |

Give it a rest with the "younger than his first failed marriage." Good grief! Can't you people come up with something better than this? I mean, apparently, Slick Willie slept with everything that was moving, from his early years to the Presidency. Come on, he committed the big A, and Fred got married. Fred was single and she had to have agreed or she wouldn't now be Mrs. Fred. Quite an accomplished Mrs. Fred too, I believe. So, haul out something else, this falls into the "dead horse" category. |
|
Do you mean the current Mrs. Thompson? The one who is younger than his first failed marriage?
I'm sure Mrs. Romney is a lovely lady. I'm also just as sure that her husband doesn't have a snowball's chance with the hardcore right of the party.
Bill, however, will make a great First Husband. |

Matt Lewis,
Wow.
Since you've been a passionate advocate for John McCain, I'm truly 'shocked' that you're providing a link to a hit piece on the WIFE of a GOP candidate (Rudy Giuliani) whom you just happen to despise.
Fortunately, I doubt we'll ever see Hugh or Dean linking to/writing disparagingly about the wife of a GOP candidate whom they dislike (John McCain).
And not-so-ironically, I'm certain we'll never see YOU linking to/writing disparagingly about Cindy McCain's baggage.
(Of course, the spouse of Hillary Clinton IS a legitimate target since he has voluntarily entered into the political fray by his own accord, exclusive from his spouse.) |
