Rudy Giuliani was bumped out of his favorite Yankee Sta dium seats on the first night of the World Series by Michelle Obama. The former mayor -- who complained during the ALCS when he and wife Judith didn't get the primo seats to the right of the Yankee dugout -- was positioned behind the photographers' box for Wednesday's game. A source told Page Six, "The White House didn't want Giuliani to be sitting with Mich elle. She was as signed the seats near the dugout and he was moved." But be cause of the rain, the first lady didn't even take the seats and they remained empty and roped off for the whole game.

I'd be careful, Giuliani may send Kerik after people again, well, once he gets out of jail that is.

Why is this a story? The sitting First Lady of the USA gets dibs on seats at a sporting event over an ex-mayor of a single city who was an embarassingly bad national political candidate a few years back? A local politician overestimating his national import - how is that news? Because Giuliani has whined about being bumped before and the media is hoping he will do so again? I don't get it.

Who is Giuliani now? An ex-mayor, a failed presidential candidate? Really, I would of never moved his seats to begin with. You get what you paid for.

I know that's the irony..................the First Lady of a soon-to-be FAILED politician (only three more years Chasin' remember that) didn't show up for seats a former mayor who galvanized a nation wanted....................CHANGE!!!

Sarah Palin-Jeb Bush 2012!! And why is this a story? Because the New York Post says so. Too bad the Post doesn't upgrade its' word processing program, be cause stories about Mich elle at the Sta dium are better without the typos.

if it has to be explained to you, it's probably not worth it
but I'll give it a whirl....

It's Rudy- if you don't get his importance to New Yorkers,
then you're totally lost- sure he lost the pres primaries,
sure he's had marital issues.....it's irrelevant to what he
did 8 years ago for us when the city was HURTING
he'll ALWAYS be the man-

It's NYC & the Yankees.....at gametime in Yankee stadium-
no one cares about politics....we care about the YANKEES
I personally would rather have an actual FAN in the front row
rather than a politicians wife - who doesn't care about NY
- granted Rudys a politician too- but at least he's a FAN

When the first ladies walked Yogi out.....
you think anyone was cheering for them ???
uh-uh-
they were cheering for YOGI- a YANKEE

The problem with clowns like Giuliani is that they don't have enough intelligence to see how IDIOTIC they look to people who actually can think for themselves.

November 1, 2009  11:04 AM ET

Downgraded for a no-show. How's it feel to be loved, Rudy?

this coming from someone who gets political news by watching MTV. Since you can think for yourself, please tell us how well B. Hussein Obama is doing in the white house. Do you think he will actually accomplish anything in his four years other than build a playground at the white house and choose a family dog?

Hey Rudy. George Washington called. He wants his teeth back.

Anyone who lived in NY before Guliani will remember what a sheethole it was. It was his policies that cleaned up the city and made it a major tourist destination again. This city owes him whatever seats he wants.

If cleaning up NY made him a fascist I'm going to goosestep to and from the subway everyday in tribute.

What exactly would you be doing as president? I mean other than being a hillbilly **** racist. The yankass asked her to be there. She doesn't care about your lame ass team. And Rudy is about as good a politician as Codreanu. Any politician not named bush could have handled 9/11. It doesn't take a genius to be mayor. Check baltimore

Disagreeing with Obama's policies does not make one a racist. Personally I feel you can't judge a President, especially one handed the mess he inherited, in the first year.

Any other President wouldn't have spent more time at his ranch between his inauguration and 9/11 then he did at the white house and maybe would have read some of the reports about what Bin Laden was planning.

I think you're underestimating Rudy's effect on NY during his tenure. The change in NY over those years was pretty dramatic.
