12/07/07: Did Rudy say 2001? He meant 1999

It's so difficult for Rudy to remember what happened before the Most Important Day of His Life. So it's understandable that his campaign first said that he was detailing Big Apple cops to protect his hosebag in 2001. See, everyone was scared in 2001, remember? When Rudy was Mayor of the World? Weren't you all impressed with him then? 2001?

Okay, it was 1999, before anyone knew that Rudy was cheating on his second wife. And not surprising that wife number three likes to keep cell phone tabs on her man:

Degenstein said he doesn't remember the exact date that cops started showing up for Nathan, but he's certain the rides started before May 10, 2000. That's the day Giuliani dramatically informed his wife, Donna Hanover, via a news conference, that he wanted a separation.

"It was prior to this whole thing with Donna Hanover," Degenstein recalled.

Degenstein, a self-proclaimed police buff, said it wasn't hard to identify Nathan's city-funded wheels as an unmarked police car.

"The windows were all blacked out, it had several antennas affixed to the trunk and of course had the orange E-ZPass stuck in the front windshield," said Degenstein, referring to the special colored toll devices affixed to city cars.

Degenstein is no critic: He said he voted three times for Giuliani during his runs for mayor and says he'll do so again if the alternative is Democrat Hillary Clinton.

"I'll close one eye, but I'll do it," he said.
