...and the horse he rode in on.

Although, I'm kinda starting to feel bad for the horse.

I wonder if the moron really expected Trump to bail him out.

To have shame, one must have honor. Rudy has neither.

I had a client in the early 2000s whose general counsel worked for Rudy when he ran the SDNY mob busting unit. That seemed quite impressive at the time... Hard to imagine it now.

The best parts of Rudy’s life are the ones that now no longer make sense.

To us, at least. He may take issue with that.

As clearly written description of the gigantic putz, Ghouliani.

If there is an afterlife, the shades of all those NYPD and NYFF Heroes who died because of his idiot decisions about where to put the HQ for Emergency Response and his Veto of the funding requests to make the radios between all the First Responder Units Sync will be waiting with harsh words for him.

America's Mayor became trump's punching bag. Willingly, deliberately.

Gotta wonder what motivates that level of sycophancy.

Thank you, Jude. All joking aside, there's nothing in the piece you don't already know, so I appreciate you wading through it all.

Quote, “In 2015, four years after the attacks on the World Trade Center…”

Did that not happen in 2001?

See what happens when you hit your late 60's

My contacts were dry, I read that as "late 80s..."

I'm sure Barry was typing "fourteen" but his pee-cee truncated the complete word. Grammar auto-check pulls shit like that.

Can't wait to see Todd Blanche's redirect.

Rudy was never not a shtbag. It just took an awfully long time for that news to get beyond the five boroughs.

Giuliani dies, goes to 'Heaven.' Sees all his friends there. A couple minutes later, he notices, "it's warm in here. Where are my parents? My dog? I read Mitch Albom's book?" From the mists, a familiar voice says "This isn't heaven, Rude."

(Speaking of little Mitchie and his 'books.' They're all claptrap and utter nonsense. Plus he's rude as hell.)

I don't know about the rude, but claptrap is a great description of his "books"
