More Wedding Bells For Giuliani's Wife

Judith Nathan, Who Has High-Profile Role In Presidential Campaign, Discloses A Third Marriage

(CBS)  The wife of GOP presidential frontrunner Rudy Giuliani has been married three times, New York newspapers reported.

Judith Nathan previously had spoken of two marriages. She has now confirmed a third.

"Something I will share with you is that ... Rudy and I have both been married three times," Nathan, 52, told the New York Post.

In her first, previously undisclosed marriage, Nathan, then Judith Stish and a 20-year-old, married Jeffrey Ross in Las Vegas in 1974. The marriage ended in divorce in 1979.

Five days after the divorce, she married Bruce Nathan, a wallpaper salesman. That marriage ended in a bitter divorce in the early 1990s.

Giuliani, 62, married Nathan following a bitter divorce from his second wife, Donna Hanover, in 2000. Nathan said Giuliani had known of her first marriage early on in their relationship.

Nathan has assumed an important role in Giuliani's thriving presidential campaign, but a Giuliani strategist said her disclosure would not damage Giuliani's candidacy.

"It has no political significance and is something that all the people close to her knew," the strategist told the New York Daily News.

But many political observers say Giuliani's marital track record is a negative, especially among Christian conservatives.

"I guess birds of a feather do flock together," University of Virginia political science Prof. Larry Sabato told the Daily News. "This is right off of Match.com."

I think you mean "Bible Thumping" -not "Bible beating". Bible thumpers are just exercising the right of free speech-they should be able to do so without persecution, and redicule. Just goes to show how narrow-minded liberals are... Thereby making them hypocrites.

As long as they don't violate my right not to have to hear their sh*it. Besides these days the thumpers have gone way beyond just thumping and are trying to force their fairy tales and fables onto everyone else, so they're bible beaters to me. They beat the bible for quotes to twist and take out of context just to push their own racism, prejudice, hatred, intolerance, ignorance and bigotry on normal people.

"More Wedding Bells For Giuliani's Wife"

Come to think of it, that title by CBS is a really funny one. LOL

No group spreading falsehoods and mischief making should be allowed parade their destructive, idiotic and ignorance-inducing ideologies unchallenged in any society.

Bible thumpers should be doing their thumping in the privacy of their own home to THEIR FAMILIES alone.
Thank the stars we are not allowing them in schools to waste more children's minds.

"Who cares? I'm a dyed in the wool liberal and I could care less. Of course that might be because I'm on my 3rd marriage and so is my wife.

Would that be a real 'wife', as in a female? LOL
Anyway, it is still better to keep changing females than surrendering to the deviant urges.

This is news? Big deal.

Rudy is the worst of the Republicans.

At a personal level most people would not even want to spend time around him. Certainly not any of his (previous) family.

As a leader his obnoxious, vindictive, and self-centered style will get tired very quickly with the American people -- Republicans included.

How about William Weld? Although I lean towards the Democrats, and think that a change of party is very important at this point to fight corruption -- Weld seems to be an honest and effective leader.

Who cares? I'm a dyed in the wool liberal and I could care less. Of course that might be because I'm on my 3rd marriage and so is my wife. Besides Rudy doesn't stand a snowballs chance in hell of making it through the primaries (esp in the bible-beating south) and will never sit in the Oval Office as anything other then a visitor.

There are sects of Christianity that say if you divorce, and remarry, then you've commited adultery. Some go so far as to say that if you have children after remarrying, than tour children are bas tards. I don't believe that. I'm a Christian, and it really makes me anry that other Christians will look at the martial history, and use that as the basis of who they'll vote for. What does that have to do with being president?

[jdweymouth]

And this matters how...

[arthurcl1]

Rudy can't hold a women without Divorce? Get rid of him! No one in the White House should not be a family man to one women. 3? He is obviously unstable and will probably result in another woman rejected and remarried to a 4th during the White House tenure?

Let the CBS games begin. Undercut the Republican front runner, put the Democratic front runner up on a pedestal. Obama the rock star vs. Giuliani the serial divorcer. Giuliani's marital history evidently is the only thing newsworthy about him - not his positions on the issues, not his past accomplishments. It's a familiar pattern, only the names have changed. Don't like his politics or that he's a Republican? That's fine, just say so, rather than hiding behind some false pretense of moral outrage.

terribayless - unfortunately neither rudy or his wife have shown the maturity to learn from their past mistakes - first Rudy 'told' his wife and two kids he was getting a divorce by holding a press conference - then Rudy moved his mistress in and she went to live in the same house with his wife and two kids -- they acted like a pair of low-rent white trash immature delinquents .. and let's have a chat about their mis-use of 9/11 charity fund - he put her on the payroll for couple hundred thousand AND also gave her a $250k annual clothing allowance AND a travel and meal expense account -- I have a friend who survived 9/11 (Fireman) -- now he can barely walk up a flight of stairs, had to move back home cause his didn't cover his mortgage -- and Rudy and wife todling around in Armani.

Ah yes, the front runner of the "family values" party.

To me Rudy G. is scum. During the closing days of the 2004 Presidential campaign, he made an appearance on Imus In the Morning. There he told a bunch of lies about Kerry. The one I remember most is when he told Imus that Kerry had shot an unarmed Viet teenager in the back during a battle. A major network visited the site during the campaign and reported that witnessed confirmed a major battle and the Kerry had shot someone in the back. But that someone was an armed adult that had fired at Kerry's boat and was trying to get into another position. Rudy knew this but still told his lie.

For me, the fact that is someone is divorced is not that troublesome. People change or they make mistakes.

But, how they handle a divorce and how they treat their ex does say a lot about the person.

In Rudy's case, his divorce was horror-show material even by NYC standards.

To me this shows a side of him (spiteful, dishonest and nasty) that is incompatible with leadership.

Not even to mention how he will spin this in terms of 'Family Values'.

[terribayless-2009]

Speaking from experience, one can finally take a good long look at themselves, learn from the past, come to grips with what marriage is all about and what commitment really means. Hopefully that is where they are at!

[nyckate]

LOL - she 'forgot' a 5 year marriage?? Oh man - am I loving watching the 'neocon-religious-right' kissing up to Rudy - it puts lie to all the preachings about family families right where it always belonged - in the trash!!!
