Daddy Dearest!

oo

Rudolph Giuliani, presidential hopeful, may want to portray himself as America's Hero, but he sure does not seem to be his son's hero. Turns out that Andrew Giuliani, now 21, will not be campaigning for his father. As a matter of fact, he sure seems to have a bone to pick with him. No surprise, judging Father Giuliani's troubled personal life.
Some quick background on "Daddy Dearest":
His first marriage to Regina Peruggi in 1968 was annulled after fourteen years, according to Giuliani, because he discovered he and his wife were second cousins and did not have the Roman Catholic Church's blessing.
Giuliani's second walk down the isle was with local television personality Donna Hanover in 1984. Son Andrew was born in 1986. During that marriage, Rudy had an alleged affair with Cristyne Lategano, his former communications director. He never publicly admitted to the affair. Then in 2000, the New York Daily News broke news of yet another relationship, this time to Judith Nathan. Giuliani called a press conference to announce that he intended to separate from Hanover. Hanover, however, had apparently not been told about his plans before his press conference. Giuliani filed for divorce against Hanover in October 2000 and an unpleasant public battle broke out.
Giuliani subsequently married Judith Nathan in 2003

Now, it seems, Rudolph has to deal with his son's resentment. Andrew Giuliani told the New York Times of his strained relationship with his father. Andrew Giuliani dished about his father's divorce from Donna Hanover, his marriage to Judith Nathan, and his own plan to not participate in his campaign.
He also told ABC News' Andrea Canning that while he doesn't want to hurt his father, he's also not about to keep quiet.
Andrew attributed their strained relationship to Nathan, saying, "There's obviously a little problem that exists between me and his wife."
According to the Times, Rudy Giuliani used to pride himself on attending all his children's events, but at some point after his marriage to Nathan in 2003 he stopped. He missed his son's graduation in 2005 and his 17-year old daughter's plays in the last 18 months.
Even though Rudy hardly wins the Father of the Year Award, his son also stated: "I have problems with my father, but it doesn't mean he won't make a great president," he said. "He was a great mayor. He did great things for New York and would be very effective as a president. He is a great leader. He has vision, and he is willing to stand up for what he believes in."
That is pretty generous considering the fact that his father is a louse
