The Dunce Cap Award: Caroline Giuliani

A politician's daughter would be the last person, you'd think, to resort to a petty crime like shoplifting. However, that's exactly what Caroline Giuliani, daughter of former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, did the other day. She may have decided a five finger discount would be easier than spending beaucoup bucks on expensive items that she deemed needed to be had ASAP, but she should've known better than to pull the job in NYC, where her father is still revered as a hero, rallying the city after 9/11. Of course, it was big news when she got pinched. What was she thinking?

Unsurprisingly, psychologists contacted by the city's tabloid newspapers claimed that Ms. Giuliani was desperate for attention. Oh? Seems to me she left her brains at home when she decided to take up petty thievery. Worse, her brother, Andrew, when interviewed by the New York Daily News, sided with his sis, as if he was condoning her actions. Andrew'd been in a bit of hot water himself while in college (he went to Duke and was kicked off their golf team), demonstrating that the apples did fall far from the tree in the Giuliani family.

Well, just for kicks, we'll give Andrew a Dunce Cap as well.
