It's beginning to look like this story has legs, as it has made the New York Times today in a column by Gail Collins:

Highlights below the flip, although honestly the story seems to be more of a pop-psychoanalytic piece about Rudy's obsession with security than really dealing directly with the scope of the scandal unfolding.
I also saw a brief mention of this story on the back page of the front section of the Friday edition of The Oregonian, although I have yet to find a link. Feel free to provide any links to other mentions of this story in the "traditional media" in the comments.
It’s fitting that Giuliani’s first big campaign crisis wound up being about his special subject: security. When he was mayor, he got a whole lot of it. The city was at one point paying for police guards to protect and transport not only Rudy, his children and his elderly mother, but also both his wife and his mistress. Really, they were thisclose to assigning a detail to the family retriever and a springer spaniel he was courting down the block.
If the vision of city police officers cooling their heels outside his mistress’s home in the Hamptons is troubling, it’s not because of the moral implications. It’s a reminder that Rudy is one of those people who doesn’t handle power well. The more important he becomes, the more impossible he becomes.
A Friday edition mention of this story is linked here, which detailed the Hamptons escapades but not the more recent revelations about the private security detail for Rudy's mistress (hat tip to katonahdem in comments):

The whole story is worth a read for the depth of the background about Rudy, including a discussion of his former appointee Kerik who has been recently indicted for fraud, and other salacious aspects of his public life in New York that make it apparent that Rudy has more skeletons in his closet than Broom Hilda.
Frankly, at this point, I don't see how: 1) this doesn't become a full-blown media circus in the next week as it has sex, abuse of power/corruption, and a cover-up, 2) Giuliani survives this, and 3) he's going to spend all of his campaign millions once he withdraws, aside from on his legal defense.
