And when [Judith Nathan] met Giuliani, Felder adds, [Giuliani] didn't have much money, either, "because Rudy was living on a mayor's salary"—$195,000 a year—"and had no inherited wealth, and was supporting his family very, very well."Correct me if I'm wrong, but as a resident of Gracie Manson, Rudy wasn't even paying rent! I love Vanity Fair as much as the next
And, oh my, does it sucks to be Rudy's kids! He's a shitty father and, to boot, not-their-mom Judy gets them Bibles for Christmas. Um, get a personal shopper, lady.
This, tho, has potentially serious implications:
If Giuliani's third wife became less popular as time went on, it was in part due to the feeling that she had a private list of Rudy loyalists she wanted fired. "The atmosphere is slippery, but not always venomous," says one. "You just realize there's an agenda there: she's worming her way in so she can push you out." Papir, for instance, was fired five years ago after word got around that he had called Judith a "princess" behind her back. But there are others, two sources say, of whom she patently disapproves. "Kate Anson, his scheduler, and this was the person who was so nice to her—everyone likes her!" says one Giuliani friend, holding up fingers to enumerate those of whom Judith disapproves. "Matt Mahoney [now deputy senior political adviser]—he loves Rudy. And Tony Carbonetti too, that's the other person Judith hates.… He would never be confrontational. His job is Rudy." A shrug. "Anyone supportive of him, close to him—Judith wants them fired...."It'll be interesting* to see how this plays out as the campaign heats up.
...Best line: "The position of "Mrs. Giuliani" has not historically been a secure post."
* Interesting = fun to watch this blow up
