News Roundup for 6/29/11

Rudy Giuliani

-Headline of the Day-
"Giuliani Breaks Promise To Legally Gay Marry His Gay Roommates."

That is, perform the ceremony, not gay-marry them both as a third wheel.

See, when Rudy got kicked out by his wife for having an affair, Giuliani moved in with these two nice gay fellas. This was before being panicked over marriage equality had become the big fashion among national GOP leaders.

So Rudy, not being a complete asshole, said that if same sex marriage ever became legal in New York, he'd perform the marriage -- I guess he can do that. The report tells us that "all mayors of New York have the curious legal authority to perform marriages both during and forever after their term of office."

And guess what? Same sex marriage just became legal in NY. So the two nice gay fellas decided it was time to look Rudy up. However, according to the report, the guy called Giuliani and has become "distressed that his former house guest hasn't returned the many calls he began making before the legislation was passed last week."

That doesn't seem very appreciative of Giuliani, does it? (Wonkette)
