According to the New York Post, Rudy Giuliani appears to have broken a long-held promise to marry his gay friend.

Howard Koeppel, the car dealer who provided a crash pad for Giuliani in 2001 for six months during his divorce battle, recently spoke to the Post about a promise he says the former New York City mayor made to him a decade ago.

Koeppel told the Empire State-based outlet that he had asked Giuliani to marry him and his long-time partner, Mark Hsiao, and that Giulliani said to him, "Howard, I don't ever do anything that's not legal. If it becomes legal in New York, you'll be one of the first ones I would marry."

In a 2005 New York Magazine interview, Koeppel spoke about his relationship with Giuliani roommates. According to Koeppel, he helped Giuliani pick out his ties and even convinced Giuliani to speak "doggy talk" to his dog.

Although Koeppel and Hsiao married in Connecticut in 2009, Koeppel would like to repeat the ceremony with Giuliani officiating. Back in 2009, The New York Post reported that Guiliani was a last-minute no-show at their wedding.

Maybe Rudy wants to run for president again and realized how Bachmann and Palin would spin him officiating gay marriages.
