Did a Compromised Giuliani Pull His Punches in Hillary Race?
Despite his image as a tough as nails take-no-prisoners
campaigner, New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani never seemed willing to
take the gloves off in his Senate race against First Lady Hillary
Clinton -- as NewsMax.com discovered last September.
We caught up with the mayor on his regular Friday morning radio
show and asked him whether he was willing to press Hillary on the
"B" question:
"Do you think the first lady should respond to questions about
Juanita Broaddrick's charge that her husband raped her?," we
asked. "Should Hillary tell us whether she believes Juanita?"
"No, I don't think so," Giuliani shot back. "I don't think
that's an issue that should be part of any Senate campaign or
anything I should get involved with."
Do tell.
With the New York press airing Rudy's marital dirty laundry by
the bucketful, now we see just how vulnerable he was on the
personal front.
Not that the mayor was trying all that hard to keep things under
wraps. Giuliani spent Friday night squiring his "very good
friend" Judi Nathan around town as photogs snapped away. (New
York's two leading tabloids frontpaged the juicy pics on
Saturday.)
No wonder Giuliani didn't want to challenge the first lady on
any aspect of her private life, including even the startling
charge that her husband, The President of the United States, may
be a rapist.
Would the mayor have broached the "B" question if the windows in
his own glass house weren't quite so large? It's hard to tell,
though nationwide fundraising letters that went out under Rudy's
name were chock full of references to the threat a Senator
Hillary would pose to "traditional values."
What's known for certain is that the usually glib Clinton gang
has an extraordinarily difficult time explaining their position
on Broaddrick's allegation.
The president himself will only respond to the "B" question in
classic "talk to my lawyer" mob parlance.
And though the mainstream press gave it next to no coverage, the
most dramatic moment to date of the 2000 presidential campaign
came when New Hampshire housewife Kathrine Prudhomme asked Vice
President Al Gore what he thought of Broaddrick's story.
A visibly shaken Gore tapped danced around an answer before
deciding to pretend he was only vaguely familar with the case. To
make matters worse, the Veep repeatedly referred to Clinton's
alleged rape as "a personal mistake."
Plainly, the "B" question could have been a blockbuster in the
New York Senate race, especially in light of Hillary's early
history in Arkansas as a crusader against sexual violence and
founder of the state's first rape crisis hotline.
No doubt Mrs. Clinton's vulnerablity on this point also explains
why New York's pro-Hillary press refuses to broach the topic
themselves.
But it isn't just Broaddrick. Throughout the campaign, Rudy
seemed to pull his punches on a whole range of questions that
could have thrown Hillary for a loop.
While the first lady was making political hay hand over fist on
the issue of police brutality, her own St. Patrick's Day security
staff was alleged to have assaulted reporters who were trying to
cover her while parade goers booed.
A live on-the-scene report of the violence was broadcast to a
hundred thousand listeners on WABC radio just minutes after the
parade ended. Reaction from the Giuliani camp? Zippo.
Team Giuliani took another pass on charges that Hillary had
bilked New York state taxpayers in 1991 out of a hundred thousand
dollars in state education money. The arrangement was part of a
sweetheart deal set up between the state's National Center on
Education and the Economy and Hillary's own Rose Law firm.
A 1996 investigation by then-New York State Attorney General
Dennis Vacco found that Hillary did next to no work for the
jackpot she collected.
Pretty explosive charges, especially when lodged against a
candidate like the first lady, who's made saving New York's
failing public education system a top campaign priority.
Was Giuliani so worried about his own Achilles heel that he
shied away from these Hillary-hot potatoes?
It's difficult to imagine any other reason why a campaigner as
tough as Rudy let Hillary slide time and time again.
