With all due respect to the Rock & Roller, Rudy Guiliani is the Jerry Lee Lewis of American politics. He married his cousin. That’s incest. When Jerry Lee did it, it destroyed his career.
So it’s Jerry Lee Giuliani. He ought to be on the ballot that way. Some might consider this an outrageous thing to say, of course. The politics of personal destruction and all that.
But who cares that I said it?
Personally I think Giuliani’s relationship with his children is more important than his relationship with his cousin, but that’s only because he divorced his cousin and you can’t divorce your children.
I’d add that marrying his second cousin, in this case, was not illegal. But it was weird and there is no doubt that it happened, unlike other presidential candidate scandals of the past few cycles.
