  There's something about a looming mayoral candidacy that makes even the mildest city comptrollers put some tough in their talk and some strut in their walk. Former comptroller Alan Hevesi got along and mostly went along with Rudy Giuliani until the mayoral election of 2001 appeared on the horizon. Then Hevesi, planning his own run for City Hall, detected the stench of a $104 million-dollar contract to run the city's welfare-to-jobs programs that Giuliani wanted to go to a consulting firm calle

• Rudy Redux? Giuliani "Now More Than Ever," Says Mastro

  With Governor Paterson at a low ebb and Kirsten Gillibrand's future popularity under the manipulation of New York's Democratic elite (and others) uncertain, some noise is being made for the return of Rudolph Giuliani. Randy Mastro, Giuliani's former deputy mayor and close aide, told the Observer, "If ever New York State needed strong leadership in this fiscal crisis, it's today... New York State could use [Giuliani] now more than ever." Other sources say "his name has come up" in high-level Repu

  Rudolph Giuliani's got some gubernatorial fanboys working for him.

(George Pataki didn't do much with it, but he's from Poughkeepsie, where the pace of life is slow.)

• Giuliani Calls Paterson's Gay Marriage Stand Good -- for the GOP

  Former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani sees daylight for the New York GOP in gay marriage. He tells the Post's Fred Dicker that "I think gay marriage will obviously be an issue for any Republican next year," and that the marriage equality support of high-level Democrats like Governor Paterson and Kirsten Gillibrand "will create a grass-roots movement" that could sweep the Republicans back into power. Giuliani, who has been proposed by the Republican gubernatorial nomination by Newt Gingrich and others, r

  Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy Last night, I was on MSNBC's Countdown With Keith Olbermann and talked with substitute host David Shuster about that Miss USA contestant's remarks about gay marriage and Rudy Giuliani's too, linking them both in ignominy. About the pageant dummo, I said that telling judge Perez Hilton you're exclusively for straight marriage is like telling Susan Boyle you're in favor of eyebrow waxing. As for Rudy, I said he could give

• Another Probe for Another Ex-Giuliani Aide

  There's a blast from the Giuliani past sitting atop the fold on Page B1 of the Times' business section this morning in the form of a photo of Charlie Millard, Rudy's former top economic aide who ran the city's Economic Development Corporation in the Giuliani era. The story about him includes the most common words used these days when addressing former Giuliani aides: They are "inquiry," "investigation" and "suspicion." In Millard's case the terms stem from a blistering report by the inspector ge

• Giuliani Seeks Court Protection from 69-Year-Old

  Rudolph Giuliani, hero of 9/11, asked for and received an order of protection against a 69-year-old man. Giuliani had Joe McCluskey of Wainscott, New York arrested for yelling at him last week, and today McClusky appeared in court to plead not guilty to harrassment charges brought by America's Mayor, who did not show up. McClusky has accused Giuliani of bringing "phoney allegations" of tax crime against his company, Arden Communications, back in the 1980s, when the future mayor was still prosecu

• Giuliani Gets Big Coverage Based on Rare Joke

  Today at a Crain's Business Breakfast Forum, former Mayor and unsuccessful Presidential candidate Rudolph Giuliani told listeners that "the only way I could get elected governor is the way I got elected mayor -- things have to be so bad..." He got a big laugh there, but later said that, if he thought he could "make a real difference in the state," he would run, leading the New York Post, champing at the bit, to headline, "GIULIANI TO RUN FOR GOVERNOR -- ONLY IF THINGS 'GET WORSE.'" (Crain's itse

• Giuliani Governor Run Depressingly Likely

  After his embarrassing Presidential run, we thought we were rid of him awhile. But his cracks at a Crain's forum and his heavy involvement in the affairs of the state GOP were ominous harbingers, and now the Times tells us that Rudolph Giuliani is seriously looking at a gubernatorial run. He'll make his decision in 30-60 days, sources say. Great. At best, that means September 11 at least once a week for several months, with Giuliani holding a press conference with firefighters every time someo

• Giuliani Will Stump for Secessionist Gun Nut Texas Governor

  ​Rudolph Giuliani is preparing for his expected gubernatorial run by shoring up his Republican credentials. He's been heavily involved in the state party's doings, and now he's doing his bit for the national party by making speeches for Texas Governor Rick Perry. Perry gave Giuliani a much-needed endorsement during his disastrous 2008 Presidential run, even though Perry's gun policy varies slightly from Giuliani's (that is, Petty favors them for schoolteachers, in banks and churches, etc)

• Giuliani Fighting for His GOP Chairman, But To What End?

  The backstage drama of the New York State GOP chairmanship battle continues! The short version is, Rudolph Giuliani is backing Henry Wojtaszek -- loyal to Giuliani, who is thought to have eyes on the Republican gubernatorial nomination in 2010. The front-runner is Ed Cox -- yes, Tricia Nixon's husband -- who says he has 42 of 62 county committees sewn up. Giuliani can't trust Cox because Cox backed John McCain back when Giuliani hoped to be President 9/11. That looks bad for the forces of Rud

Now, in part two, Barrett continues that list, focusing this time on political conservatives who are backing Snyder... Richard Gilder embodies activist city conservatives, co-founding both the Manhattan Institute and the Club for Growth, as well as bankrolling the State Conservative Party for years.

• Giuliani to Abandon Governor Run, Switch to Senate, Say Usual Unnamed Sources

  Sometimes we'd swear the Republicans are just fucking with us. First they terrorized us all with the notion that Rudolph Giuliani would run for Governor, and to that end was bent on installing his own puppet state GOP chairman. Now it looks like the puppet's strings have been cut and Ed Cox will run the state party. And the new story is that Giuliani will run not for governor, but for senator. "I am picking up no support for Rudy for governor, but I'm hearing his name mentioned for US Senate,"

• Giuliani Higher Office Threat Downgraded; Caution Still Advised

  One of the gay guys Rudolph Giuliani bunked with when he split up with Donna Hanover tells Page Six (!) the former Mayor won't run for governor, despite recent threats. "He would never want to be governor... That's what he told me when he was living with me," says car dealer Howard Koeppel. We'd like to believe him. We doubt Rick Lazio would have jumped into the governor's race if he thought Giuliani were a threat. There was that Senator Giuliani scare a few days back, but his pal Tony Carbonet

• Bloomberg & Giuliani to Campaign Together in Friendly NY Territories

  Far be it from us to advise Mayor Bloomberg on electioneering, but we wonder if he has thought through his plan to campaign with hated former mayor Rudolph Giuliani. He warmed up for it during the recent mayoral debate, when he said Giuliani would make a good governor. And someone planted an apparently bogus story about the two Mayors battling for Yankee Stadium playoff seating, which we assume was circulated to get their names mentioned together. Admittedly they have chosen appropriate venues.

• Mayor Thompson Could Mean "Fear of Going Out at Night" (Giuliani), "Detroit" (Bloomberg)

  The Bloomberg-Giuliani victory tour of friendly city territories began with a bang in Borough Park, where the former Mayor told the annual Legislative Breakfast of the local Jewish Community Council that if Bill Thompson were elected, the city "could very easily be taken back to the way it was with the wrong political leadership" -- that is, back to "the fear of going out at night and walking the streets." The Thompson campaign and Public Advocate candidate Bill de Blasio blasted Giuliani's re

• Poll: Paterson Still Way Down; Voters Like Giuliani, Suggest He Run for Nothing

  A new Siena poll reveals Governor Paterson down a few points with a 27 percent approval rating, but a point up in performance, bringing him to 19 percent. (One percent of respondents rate Paterson's performance "excellent.") Paterson loses to Attorney General Andrew Cuomo 70-20 percent in a prospective match-up, and to Giuliani 56-33 percent. (He still beats Rick Lazio, though barely.) And despite his recent cuts, 75 percent do not have faith that he will cut the state budget deficit without rai

• Thompson isn't only pol to write a "Dear Judge" letter

  ​On Halloween, Rudy Giuliani will join Mayor Bloomberg and Staten Island boro prez James Molinaro (pictured) at a big pre-election "Prelude to Victory" rally and fundraiser on Staten island. This is one place -- like Brooklyn's ultra-orthodox Borough Park where Team Bloomberg unleashed Giuliani last weekend -- where Giuliani might actually be useful in revving up the pro-Bloomberg base (assuming there is one out there). Who knows, maybe Rudy will also escape nasty questions about w

• Giuliani Endorses Working Families Party Candidate, Others

  Having embarrassed Mayor Bloomberg sufficiently for one election, former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani is running around endorsing other candidates. Today he backed two Staten Island Republican councilmembers facing reelection challenges: James Oddo, who's up against James Pocchia, and Vincent Ignizio, facing Janine Materna. Oddo has also been endorsed by the Working Families Party -- known at the New York Post as "the hard-left Working Families Party," which is an "octopus" and an "albatross" and has

• Daggett to Giuliani in NJ Gov race: go home.

  ​With a scant few days left before high-profile elections in NY-23 and NYC, both of which are in New York, America's Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani is spending his time in Jersey, stumping for Republican Chris Christie and feuding with insurgent Independent Chris Daggett. Giuliani told the NY Post on Friday that Daggett was taking a chance of allowing Corzine a win by taking votes away from Christie (although in a weird effort to have things both ways, Giuliani also claimed that Christie was

• Rudy's Night: Yankees win, Kerik loses

  ​Midway in the World Series last night, Fox's TV cameras lingered on top Yankee fan Rudolph Giuliani, seated in his customary box adjacent to the dugout (The cost? No man knows.) The ex-mayor's team was up by three runs, but his jaw was set in grimace, his teeth bared as though ready to bite some faux Philly fanatic. Had Judy said something peevish? Had Jeter brushed off one of his fawning jokes? The likely answer only came after the game at a flick of the news wires: The Times was report
