While I cherish my relationship with my wife, I know that sometimes it just doesn't work out. In the case of Rudy Giuliani it didn't work out a couple times...which is fine. To judge another man is not the job or right of any man unless you have walked in his shoes. The only real judgement should come from the man upstairs, anyway. If he can do the job as leader of our country, I do not think that his having been married three times should count against him.
