⇒Rudy Giuliani ain't going anywhere near the allegations in Judith Regan's complaint that News Corp. told her to lie to federal investigators about Bernie Kerik to preserve Giuliani's presidential viability. "It sounds to me like a kind of gossip column story more than a real story," Giuliani told reporters, according to Talking Points Memo.

⇒As long as we're on the subject of those allegations, though, Jeff Bercovici is wondering: Why didn't Regan name the "senior executive" who told her to lie about Kerik, considering that she named just about everybody else in the company, from Rupert Murdoch on down, she believes had it in for her? His theories: Either that person has dirt on her, he's going to be a surprise witness, or he doesn't really exist.
