And no wonder… Not that there’s anything wrong with that, of course. I’m sure it’s highly legitimate, especially for a man as secure with his sexuality as Rudy obviously is. The New York Daily News:
Being Mrs. Rudy Giuliani can’t be easy, but at least it pays well - about $10,000 a month.
A day after the former mayor disclosed in federal filings that he considers his third wife, Judith, a salaried employee, sources said he has paid her about $125,000 a year for speechwriting help - since before they were married.
“Speech writing.” Right, then.
Of course, she’s not getting much:
Rudy Giuliani’s haul for the 126 speeches he gave from January 2006 to March 2007 was $11.4 million, records filed this week show, which means he kicked back something less than 2% to his wife over that period.
Of course, as I’ve said, Giuliana doesn’t seem all that weird to me.. Others might disagree, of course:
Beyond that, it is likely to feed perceptions that Giuliani’s private life - as his own mayoral campaign called it in an internal 1993 memo - contains a certain “weirdness factor.”
I wonder why?

I find it hard to believe
I find it hard to believe that Giuliani is naive enough to allow his wife, who has no writing credentials, and who probably couldn’t even get a nursing job at this point, given that she only actually practiced nursing for a few months, to write his speeches. It’s such baloney, I can’t believe anybody else buys it. He must have other professional writers doing that job for him. PUHLEESE!
Guiliani better get his Marie Antoinette costume ready
’cuz he has a date with Madame Guillotine.
Seems Judith Regan heard all sorts of interesting things during her, um, relationship with Bernie Kerik. ThinkProgress has the story, sourced to New Republic:
She is also now unemployed. If Ruuu-DEH can pay the current Mrs. Ruuu-DEH 10 large/mo for services rendered, methinks a similar settlement should be arranged with Ms. Regan posthaste if not sooner. And she should stay the hell out of small planes.
Who was the lady who used to sit down front on execution days, doing her knitting as the royals Got Theirs? I own some very nice knitting needles, just sayin’… :)
