It's funny about Rudy. I saw an MSNBC "Heroes and Legends" on him a little while ago and the man is a sleaze ball.
He told the press BEFORE his wife that he was filing for legal seperation. He had numerous affairs while in office with people who worked for him (sound familiar? Clinton gets gutted for it, Newt and Guilliani have their little trysts ignored and told it's no big deal). They played an interview of her coming out of their house and saying she was shocked and that he had told her that they would work on the marriage, that morning.
His first wife was his second cousin (even though the families were close) and when her time had come he told the church he didn't realize they were cousins so he could get annulled by the Catholic Church.
He made his name taking down selected Mafia big boys, while letting others slip through and get more powerful.
They said politically he was very weak, even though he was going to run for senate before he found out he had prostate cancer, and that if 9/11 hadn't happened he probably would not have been looked favorably upon.
They had old friends on saying he was a Democrat and a liberal, who saw the winds blowing and moved to the GOP because it meant a better chance to get ahead.
It's definately a "must see" if you ever get a chance. Personally, I liked Guilliani before seeing this (I'd have never voted for him but I respected him), and while some can claim it was bias journalism every fact they showed proof and his comments on them.
