Cousin, Cousine
One of my favorite inside-the-Capitol news sources did some checking and has returned with confirmation that Judith Stish Guiliani, wife of Rudy, and former Rep. Tom Stish, the party-switcher, both of Hazleton, Pa., are indeed cousins. Most likely first cousins. We had some brief excitement earlier with another Capitol report that Mrs. Guiliani was the ex-wife of Tom Stish, but while his first wife was indeed named Judith, her maiden name wasn't Stish.
Apart from this interesting family tree, if former Mayor Guiliani gets the Republican nomination for President, he'll face a dilemma in visiting the hometown of his beloved third wife. No matter how much he says an official visit is just for Judi, it will look like (and be construed by city officials as) a backhanded endorsement of the failed effort by the Republican mayor and city council to make it illegal to rent to illegal aliens. Figure that one out, Rudy.
