Oh, Boy! Vanity Fair Profiles Judith Giuliani As Egomanic And Social Climber
By Eric Kleefeld | bio

Vanity Fair magazine has just released a massive and lively new profile of Judi Giuliani that depicts her as a vain social climber. To say the piece doesn't exactly paint a flattering picture is an understatement — indeed, the Mrs. Giuliani of this article practically makes Madame Emma Bovary look reserved and dignified.

It wasn't easy to choose a favorite nugget — there's an endless supply of great moments in the piece — but here's our pick for the best one:

A dramatic transformation has occurred, one she does not care to discuss, despite repeated requests by Vanity Fair. She had always been known as "Judi." "Judi is what she was born. I don't think we called her Judith ever," says her father, Donald Stish, 78, seated on his porch one sultry June day in the shade of a gray metal awning. He is a calm, thick-set man who marvels at his daughter's makeover. After her second divorce, she upgraded herself to "Judith" with such vehemence that, one former Giuliani aide confides, "at City Hall we were prohibited from calling her Judi. She would bawl us out if we did."

3. Guys like Rudy...

It's always their inability to keep their "urges" under control that gets them into trouble. Judi may be the death of his campaign.

4. A "social climber"??? Wow, I'd have at least tried to climb a little higher than Rudy.

I propose that we all refer to her as Judi rather than Judith.

Edited to say: Sorry - that should be Nurse Judi, the puppy-killer. Maybe she should hook up with Dr. Bill...

Sick bitch!

5. What a ridiculous get-up for a forty-something on her third marriage.

Who does she think she is, Princess Diana at twenty?
