Giuliani insults girlfriend??
MS. WASHBURN: So this next set of questions is entirely about character and leadership.
Mayor Giuliani, your administration in New York has been accused of handling your security expenses in a way that obscured public disclosure. What specifically will you promise to do to ensure that a Giuliani White House is open with information that might be inconvenient to explain to the public?
MR. GIULIANI: The reality is that all that information --
MS. WASHBURN: Thirty seconds, please.
MR. GIULIANI: The reality is that all that information was available and known to people, known six years ago. And I would make sure that government was transparent. My government in New York City was so transparent that they knew every single thing I did almost every time I did it. (Chuckles.) So I would be extremely -- (laughter) -- I would be extremely open.
I'm used to it. I'm used to being analyzed. I haven't had a perfect life. I wish I had. And I do the best that I can to learn from my mistakes. But as far as, you know, open, transparent government, I think I've had both an open, transparent government and an open, transparent life, and it allows you to lead, then, with honesty and truth.
So his mistress was a mistake?
At least his hiding the expenses among various obscure accounts for "transparency", of course, must have been a mistake.
