Giuliani’s Daughter Arrested for Shoplifting
Is thisreally news? No. But then again… if somebody else’s daughter were arrested, I’m sure Giuliani might have something to say. Suffice it to say, she’s no alter boy. I’d file this in the right-wing hypocrisy cabinet (which is similar to but takes up slightly more space than left-wing hypocrisy cabinet). If your big thing is family values, perhaps you’d…
