Well, there is also rampant marital infidelity, not once but twice - support of gay rights, women's right to choice, etc and being an equal opportunity mayor- he was apparently even outed in NYC as "Fruiti Giuliani" -- go figure. "Big Bill" and JFK do not have any lock on being the most-oversexed politician ever. Maybe that comes with the territory, so to speak. Apparently, if J Edgar Hoover is any indication (as well as the members of the Bohemia Club) cross-dressing is not fatal to your ability to serve in the highest offices of the land, so long as you are somewhat discrete :-) If you want to read a tamed-down version of why Giuliani is unfit for public office, maybe even for US citizenship, read the Vanity Fair article (which doesn't even get into the 9/11 scandal which he will be facing - if and only if - McCain loses). http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/features/2008/01/giuliani200801 It was clear early on this year - that his candidacy was doomed by the right, not the Dem-wits - but less clear that the only thing which has kept him from a grand jury investigation is that he has plenty of dirt to sling on the higher ups in food-chain in the 9/11 aftermath ... like ... who it was that told him that the first tower (not the second nor WTC7) was about to come down....
