I’m sorry, folks, but this does speak a lot about the man’s character.

Rudy Giuliani's biggest challenge in his White House run to date could be how he responds publicly to comments his son made about their strained relationship.

Andrew Giuliani, 21, stunningly told The New York Times that he and his father have been estranged - not even talking "for a decent amount of time" - because of the son's problems with the ex-mayor's current wife, Judith Nathan Giuliani.

"There's obviously a little problem that exists between me and his wife," the Duke University student told the paper. "And we're trying to figure that out. But as of right now, it's not working as well as we would like."

In an interview airing today on ABC's "Good Morning America Weekend Edition," he tempered his comments.

"I do not want to hurt him," he said. "No matter what he's done, I love my father . . . It's not as good as it once was - but it's better than when it was its lowest, and it's getting better all the time."

Wife number three. Public extramarital antics that disgraced his office. Children effectively abandoned by their father. Is he really the best that we can do in the GOP? And even if he is, does he really merit support from those of us who argue for pro-family policies?
