TEAM HILL READIES RUDY MUD

A top campaign adviser to Hillary Rodham Clinton says Rudy Giuliani‘s stormy personal life will be fair game should he win the Republican nomination for president.

“There’s a lot that the rest of the country is going to get to know about Mayor Giuliani that the folks in New York City know,” said Tom Vilsack, former Iowa governor and a co-chairman of the Clinton campaign.

“I can’t even get into the number of marriages and the fact that his children – the relationship he has with his children – and what kind of circumstances New York was in before Sept. 11,” Vilsack said during an interview on NY1 last night.

“There are lot of issues involving Mayor Giuliani . . . He’s got a very interesting past.”

The Clinton campaign’s mudslinging against Giuliani’s personal life is surprising, given the New York senator’s struggles with her own marriage to philandering former President Bill Clinton, and other White House scandals.

The Giuliani campaign declined comment.
