Giuliani on the fringes at daughter's graduation
By Heidi Evans
New York Daily News

NEW YORK — Rudy Giuliani was the odd man out at his daughter's graduation, sitting in a last-row balcony seat and slipping out quickly as the rest of the family celebrated.
Caroline Giuliani, the Harvard-bound daughter of Giuliani and his second wife, Donna Hanover, graduated with honors Friday from the prestigious Trinity School in Manhattan.
Family and friends cheered her boisterously. But Dad kept his distance.
The Republican presidential hopeful slid in a balcony door with his third wife, Judith, and security guards as the commencement began and slipped out just as quietly when it ended, without speaking to his daughter and declining to speak with reporters.
Afterward, Caroline Giuliani, 17, beamed with joy but noticeably skipped over her father when asked how she felt about graduating.
"This is a great day," she said. "I am celebrating with my mom, my stepfather [Ed Oster], my brother and other family friends."

he made an effort to be there....why is that a bad thing?


I don't see it as a bad thing but more of a sad thing. A father should be there but it sounds like a case of to little to late. Plus his daughter may be wondering if he had shown up only because he was running to be President.

Fair play!
