While Giuliani was ranting at moral decay, his personal life was a shambles. In Giuliani's last year in office, Donna Hanover learned that her husband was divorcing her when he gave a press conference. Giuliani's third wife, Judith Nathan, has provided fodder for the tabloids by wearing a tiara to a charity ball and seeming to enjoy Giuliani's perks and power a little too much.
It may be, however, that Giuliani has finally found his true soulmate, someone who shares his aspirations for power and glory. Giuliani himself can seem overly anxious to make money from his reputation as America's Mayor on 9/11. He earned $11.4 million in speaking fees between January 2006 and May of this year, as well as an additional $1.2 million in the same period from his law firm, Bracewell and Giuliani. He also took in $4.1 million from Giuliani & Co., the corporate umbrella for an array of consulting firms that have provided advice to foreign and domestic clients under arrangements that often remain secret. Giuliani's law firm also represents a long list of lobbying clients in D.C., including energy, petrochemical and defense firms. Giuliani himself hasn't registered to lobby, and doesn't believe his law-firm clients are a political liability. "Law firms aren't political, so this is kind of a silly way in which people attack each other on politics," he told reporters last July, responding to controversy over one of his firm's legal clients, an oil company owned by the government of Hugo Chávez, the virulently anti-American Venezuelan president. (The firm has since dropped that client.)
Giuliani didn't grow up with wealth or power. He can't take it for granted, as can the current president or one of Giuliani's leading rivals for the GOP nomination, Mitt Romney. Yet his struggle to get to the top may have left him with a chip on his shoulder: he's had to fight for what he's achieved, so what he's got he deserves. Giuliani's upbringing has also given him an appreciation for the darker elements of the soul, and the strength required to keep them in check. He can be tolerant, particularly of his own failings or of those who are loyal to him. But don't cross him. In Rudy's world, that is one sin that cannot be forgiven.
