$10,000 a Month


I want Judi's job.

No, let me rephrase that. I want her salary.


Being Mrs. Rudy Giuliani can't be easy, but at least it pays well – about
$10,000 a month.

There is no suggestion of any illegality in the arrangement, but the idea
of a husband paying his wife for services that many political spouses would
take for granted is sure to raise some eyebrows.

“It just looks odd,” said Republican strategist Nelson Warfield,
a regular Giuliani critic. “Most spouses view supporting their significant
others as part of the package, not part of the compensation package.”

“Some people will joke and ask, 'Is it a straight salary or is there
a performance bonus?'” added Warfield.

Beyond that, it is likely to feed perceptions that Giuliani's private life
– as his own mayoral campaign called it in an internal 1993 memo – contains
a certain “weirdness factor.” … ..

In
Rudy's heart & on payroll

Well, you can say one thing for Rudy. He's finally found a way to keep a wife around and keep her happy. Pay her.
