Giuliani's ex-wife says he was often drinking and 'always falling' down after losing the 2008

presidential nomination

After losing the Republican nomination for president in 2008, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani was "always falling shitfaced somewhere," his third ex-wife Judith Giuliani said, according to Andrew Kirtzman's new book obtained by The Guardian.

Rudy Giuliani was drinking and in therapy to cope with his dream of being president crushed after placing fourth in Florida and dropping out of the race, Judith Giuliani told Kirtzman for his book, "Giuliani: The Rise and Tragic Fall of America's Mayor."

Giuliani told The New York Times in 2018 that he "spent a month at Mar-A-Lago relaxing" after exiting the race.

But Judith Giuliani described a depressive stint and a lot of drinking at Donald Trump's South Florida residence. She told Kirtzman that she felt Rudy was "drinking to dull the pain." "As a nurse," she said, she viewed what was happening to him as "clinical depression."

4th in the 2008 Florida presidential primary. It's not like "Mr. noun, verb and 9/11" was the greatest mayor of NYC. Guess he was counting on the many New Yorkers who retire to Florida regularly.

But news of Giuliani's out-of-control cops stopping and frisking, and arresting, POCs at record rates, and the same cops shouting "it's Rudy time" as they killed and beat the shit out of unarmed Black men...that kind of news doesn't stop at the New York border. It's gets down to Florida too.

Bloomberg, his successor, was a better mayor anyway. Too bad, Rudy, you totally fu_ked up your life, and it got even worst by letting trump use you for those ridiculous no-evidence, stolen election suits...and then not pay you.

Rudy's got to be drinking even more than after the primary lost in '08 because his life just keeps getting worse.
