The Failed Pacifist

Rudy's Phone Thing

It seems Rudy's rather bizarre phone manners may not be an act. Instead, many see it as an ongoing problem which isn't endearing him to the faithful.

The fact is that people inside the Giuliani campaign are appalled at the number of times their candidate has felt compelled to interrupt public appearances to take calls from his wife. The estimate from those in a position to know is that he has taken such calls more than 40 times in the middle of speeches, conferences and presentations to large donors. "If it's a stunt, it's not one coming from him," says one Giuliani staffer. "It's an ongoing problem that he won't take advice on."
