His wife kicked him out of the mayor's mansion because it wasn't right the way he kept bringing his mistress home in front of the children. He moved in with a gay couple and slept on the floor (not that there is anything wrong with that). His wife found out about the divorce while watching tv. It was Newt's wife that had the papers served on her while recovering from chemotherapy. Rudy keeps saying there is nothing wrong with providing security for the mayor---but he won't mention that taxpayers paid security for the mistress. He cannot bring himself to say it. Note to Tucker:

Comment by CaptainMantastic — November 30, 2007 @ 3:41 pm Bill was disgraced? i don't think so. Railroaded, hunted, vilified, yes. Disgraced? Hardly. At least not by a blowjob. Maybe by reforming welfare or signing NAFTA. But not by banging whores overlooking hte 9/11 site on the city's dime. Now, that's a disgrace.

The practice of banging whores, by the mayor, shall be paid for by NYC taxpayers, and the expenses disguised under false pretenses by spreading them among the budgets of several deputy-mayoral offices. Also, is the NYT’s running out of sources? Why do they find it necessary to interview and/or quote someone who is currently under indictment for lying to the federal government? I think the MSM is collapsing faster than the Republican Party, if that’s possible. “The practice [of spreading expenses among several different offices], [Joseph J.
