The sad last act of Rudy Giuliani

Source: Yahoo News
Matt Bai National Political Columnist

<snip>

Rudy saying collusion isn’t a crime, and casually referring to a secret campaign meeting, before contradicting himself and claiming it never happened. Rudy confidently telling us that Melania Trump has accepted her husband’s explanation of the Stormy Daniels fiasco, only to have the first lady’s office issue a statement saying Melania has never talked to him about anything.

It’s pretty clear by now that Trump could have hired an appellate lawyer out of the Leavenworth library and he’d have had a more coherent defense than this.

I can’t tell you what’s going on with Giuliani, who turned 74 in May. The Rudy I knew over the years was as clever an intellectual jouster as you could find; once, in Iowa in 2007, he filibustered me amiably for a full 20 minutes, knowing damn well what he was doing, because he didn’t like the question I was trying to ask.

More recently, though, he’s been known to personally call a newsroom and unleash a get-off-my-lawn tirade about something he’s just read about himself. That’s not a great sign.

He was an awful mayor and he's a big phony for merchandising 9/11. He was hiding in the basement while the rest of us were in the streets.

Wandering aimlessly through the streets of NY with Bernie Kerik (who was supposed to be leading the NYPD during the crisis). Two cowardly morons with no idea what to do.

That bullshit "America's mayor" shit while he was in drag kissing the Dumpster. Just a couple of old New York scammers going for one last hustle. Fuck 'em.

Giuliani has been a pretty bad guy for a very long time. And how did he possibly think that putting the emergency command center next to the WTC was a good idea?
