Rudy the Deadbeat Dad

He wasn't there to support his daughter?

"Giuliani’s daughter gets community service" by Associated Press | September 1, 2010

NEW YORK — A judge told the 21-year-old daughter of former mayor Rudy Giuliani yesterday to do a day of community service and keep out of trouble to get rid of charges that she stole makeup from a high-end cosmetics store.

The case against Caroline Giuliani, accused of pocketing about $100 worth of beauty items, was adjourned in contemplation of dismissal. The legal term means the case will be closed and sealed if Giuliani completes the volunteer work and doesn’t have any more brushes with the law for six months.

“Stay out of trouble and avoid rearrest,’’ Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Jennifer Schecter told Giuliani, a Harvard University student.

She didn’t speak in court and ignored reporters’ questions as she; her mother, Donna Hanover; and others waded through a media pack to a waiting Hyundai sport utility vehicle. Her father wasn’t there.

Well then, where was he?

The Manhattan district attorney’s office said the resolution of her case was standard policy for first-time, low-dollar-value shoplifting arrests, not a special deal for the daughter of the former federal prosecutor-turned-mayor who made cracking down on petty crime a centerpiece of his tenure at City Hall....

Yeah, she didn't get special treatment, sure.

Is it just me or does she have a bit of a beer gut?
