If he'd been married for only 13 years it would have been okay.

I think you owe Tina Fey royalties for using that gag.

I've been using that gag since 1989.

Nearly every time we're out, strangers ask if my boyfriend is my boyfriend or my brother. This has happened so many times that I'm convinced we'll be booked on Maury or Jerry only to discover some one long-lost mutual cousin.

Then it seems that Tina Fey owes you royalties, Balk.

Wassamatta you? Issa de olda country.

The bigger deal was that he lied about the cousin thing later. That, and that he got the annulment in order to marry the woman he was having an affair with, Donna Hanover.

Ala Famiglia!

A man understands one day that his life is built on nothing, and that's a bad, crazy day.

Yeah, like some mouth breathing republicans care if he married his cousin. This just gives the man credibility.

how's that porker-ass son of his?

The consultants predicted that Giuliani should expect a "no-holes-barred assault" from Dinkins -- you know, the same way Rudy's cops treated Abner Louima.

Surrounding cubicle mates just had to hash this out. Kind of hard to figure. Until you think to yourself: my kid and my cousin's kid. Doing...uyyck.

The bigger deal was that he lied about the cousin thing later. That, and that he got the annulment in order to marry the woman he was having an affair with, Donna Hanover.

And he cheated on Hanover at least twice, right?

He also lied about or failed to mention his ex-con father, while showing an extraordinary lack of sympathy toward suspected criminals of the wrong color.

And all this time I thought his vulnerabilities were garlic, oak stakes and crosses.

Oh, and black people. That's why he was having so many of them shot.

I'm surprised he didn't find a way to annul his marriage with Donna Hanover. We're all cousins, after all, if you go back far enough.

Also, the current wife-of-Giuliani better watch her back.

I'm guessing
this wasn't plugged in for Rudy?

Dammit. How do I get it all on the same line??

Shit. Just chop my head off now.

Don't Catholics do this sort of thing all the time? The annulment part, I mean. You have to come up with a reason for an annulment in order to get remarried in the church. Frankly, I think people will be more weirded out by the "dressed up like a lady" issue.

On the other hand, this study was done in 1993. Anything that long ago can be chalked up to "youthful indescretions," even if you were a coke-snorting, alcoholic screw-up. Um, allegedly.

The guy won't win, he looks like a character from the Munsters and he talks like he's got a mouth full of gumballs.

Well, I'm certainly gagging a little.

Nice, Joe Bananas, nice. Trés dangereux.

I am my own grandpa.

Last week I said that Rudy's lifestyle would not go over well in The South. Well, shut my mouth, I stand corrected.
Like in Gone With The Wind: "The Wilkens' always marry their cousins."

Maybe Rudy should run for Governor of West Virgina instead of President of the US.

This will mean a lot of votes for him in Mississippi and West Virginia.

I don't think the second-cousin-marriage-thing will be a problem for Giuliani. His competition, Mitt Romney is a Mormon after all. To them, marrying a second cousin is like bringing an intruder into the clan.

BTW: Albert Einstein married his cousin - Elsa Lowenthal. Not really relevant, just kinda interesting.
