nasty man

Village Voice,

Daily News. It made the front page, and then the chauffeur was arrested, that morning, and taken to court on a 13-year-old traffic warrant. Then a police spokesman falsely claimed to the
Daily News that the driver had been convicted of sodomy. "Then," the
Times writes, "Mr. Giuliani took up the cudgel."
