Rudy Giuliani's Daughter Avoids Prosecution in Shoplifting Case
By Tom Diemer - Politics DailyThe 21-year-old daughter of former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, charged with shoplifting $100 worth of beauty items from a high-end cosmetics store, has apparently avoided prosecution in Manhattan Criminal Court. The case against Caroline Giuliani was adjourned in contemplation of dismissal -- that is, sealed and closed as long as the young woman keeps her nose clean and completes a day of community service work. "Stay out of trouble and avoid rearrest," Judge Jennifer Schecter told her. The Harvard University student did not speak to reporters and was escorted out of the Lower Manhattan ...
George Steinbrenner Dies; Yankee Boss Gave to Nixon, Other Pols From Both Parties
By Tom Diemer - Politics DailyGeorge Steinbrenner, the larger-than-life New York Yankees owner who died Tuesday, was a frequent contributor to politicians from both political parties.

In 1988, Steinbrenner was pardoned by President Reagan for his conviction on charges of obstruction of justice and conspiring to make illegal contributions to Nixon's 1972 reelection campaign. Steinbrenner's guilty plea brought a $15,000 fine and a ban from baseball that lasted nine months. But according to Salon, the "Boss" favored Democrats when it came to ...
Rudy Giuliani Campaigns for Marco Rubio in Florida
By Christopher Weber - Politics DailyFormer New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani made a stop Monday in Miami to campaign for Marco Rubio in the race for Florida's open Senate seat. Giuliani, a one-time presidential candidate, endorsed Rubio before a crowd of hundreds at a packed banquet hall, The Associated Press reported.

Spencer Platt, Getty Images A spokesman for Rudy Giuliani tried to clarify the former mayor's assertion that no terror attacks had occurred ...
Rudy Giuliani Says Obama 'Turned a Corner' on Terrorism
By David Sessions - Politics DailyDuring a "Good Morning America" appearance on Friday, former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani had some rare positive words for the president. "I'm very hopeful that President Obama turned a corner yesterday," Giuliani said. "He first used the words 'war on terror,' thank goodness. He hasn't done that since he was a candidate." The slight compliment came after Obama said Thursday that systemic security failures allowed accused Christmas Day bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab to board a Detroit-bound flight, and also came amid an avalanche of criticism for the administration's handling of the ...

We Get Letters . . . Politics Daily Gives Advice
By Bonnie Goldstein - Politics DailyDear Politics Daily: I recently lost my job as head of a small but strategically placed East Coast state and am considering my professional and personal prospects for the future.

The next relationship with a high-profile supporter ...
