Rudy Giuliani, one of my favorite examples of scummy Republican hypocrisy and authoritarianism, has been back in the news lately, this time, apparently paving the way toward a run for NY governor by means of the bigot vote.
Given that this little tin horn dictator with the Brooklyn accent is so in love with the spotlight, let's give that to him; the effect could be rather disenfectant.
Here, then, is Giuliani - the thrice married Republican defender of family values - in drag, engaged in homoerotic play with the equally narcissistic pal Donald Trump.
I know that these two asswipes and those who suck up to them probably found this to be hilarious; I don't, and not because I am opposed to drag performances; this is more like a drag minstel show.
Here, Guliani shows his more "sensitive side" in personalizing his response to a critic.
New Yorkers got quickly used to such a high level of arrogance from their mayor.
And yet another display of Rudy's Bush-like petulance and thin skinned nature.
Turning to a more serious matter, here is a dubunking of the myth of Guiliani from the firefighters union; they would be in a position to know the real Rudy.
and a related clip:
And here is an expose of Giuliani's lack of judgement and his placing of blame for his own mistakes.
And yet, in spite of all of these dubious qualities, Rudy maintains a following in the Republican Party, and is thus very loyal to this party; we saw this last summer at their party convention.
Speaking of which, here is Rudy and his thoroughly corrupt right hand man, Bernie Kerik, in the immediate aftermath of the 9-11 tragedy, successfully delivering the talking points sent to them by the White House.
A bit later on, inquiring minds were more interested in Kerik's corruption than in his views of defending the country.
Although the forum here - Fox News - is about as sympathetic a forum as this disgaced ex-cop could possibly get.
Rudy's reaction to these woes?
Anyway, I think I'll give the last word here to our Vice President, as he truly has a way with words.
If anyone has any additional clip suggestions, I'll happily add them.
