Revisionism

TNR article on Politico:

On November 28, hours before the GOP debate in Florida, Smith got Politico's first major scoop, detailing that former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani had billed city agencies to pay for personal travel to the Hamptons as he was beginning his romantic affair with Judith Nathan. The story was picked up by the Times, the Post, and the three network evening newscasts. (With the news breaking just eight weeks before the Florida primary, Giuliani's campaign never really recovered.)
Oh, that was the reason RG failed so hard.
