New York (CNN) -- The daughter of former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani was arrested after police said she shoplifted items at a cosmetic store.
Caroline Giuliani, 20, was charged with one count of petty larceny after the incident at a Sephora skincare and makeup store Wednesday, the New York Police Department said.
She is the younger of Giuliani's two children with his ex-wife, Donna Hanover, a television reporter and actress.
Since his public divorce from Hanover and his marriage to Judith Nathan, Giuliani's relationship with his children has been strained, The New York Times reported in March 2007.
He missed his son's high school graduation and Caroline's plays, The Times reported.
I have a few bones to pick with this story. First, how can they call what Caroline "Shrek" Giuliani did a crime? Clearly a much bigger crime against humanity is leaving the house without a bag over her head. Sweet Caroline probably goes through makeup faster than the Blue man Group, so who could blame her for taking the five finger discount every once in a while. In fact, if I was Sephora, I would be giving her anything she wanted free of charge as long as she promised never to hang out in my store. Remember, its tough to sell twelve year old girls on the fact that your makeup will make them beautiful when the Horse Whisperer is walking around your store trying on lipstick.
Which brings me to my second, albeit unrelated, point. Are we really going to blame poor Rudi for this one. So he missed a few plays, I guess I wasn't aware that this correlated with driving your kids toward petty larceny. I can only imagine what Charlie Manson or Ted Kaczinsky must be saying about their fathers. Bet their dads must have missed them win a three-legged race or something and then just threw them completely off the rails.
More importantly, I thought there was a rule that Dad's have a free pass to miss any and all plays, recitals, concerts, and anything else that would have me snoring faster than a Thanksgiving food coma. This excuse is called Golf and its authority should never be questioned. Oh yeah, I didn't even mention the fact that Rudi was simultaneously trying to rebuild New York after the biggest attack since Pearl Harbor and running for President, guy is a real slacker. So anyway, let's just call a spade a spade.. or more fitting for Caroline, lets just call an ogre an ogre. She stole, she got caught, she's not easy on the eyes... case closed.
