2018 In Review: Rudy Giuliani, The Ghoul Of New York The Whole World Is Watching, Part 3

by Noah

Ever leave a carved Halloween pumpkin out on the front steps to long? They have a funny way of deteriorating. As they rot, dents form as the bacteria and maggots chew away from the inside. They destroy the support fibers of the outer skin and it sags inward. Same thing happens to any vegetable or fruit. Eventually, it passes from being something for a squirrel or rat to randomly nibble on to a nice place for flies to lay their eggs. As I watch the deterioration of Rudy Giuliani, it seems that every day, he is, both mentally and physically undergoing a very similar process. What will soon come creeping out of those darkened dead eyes?

Rudy Giuliani is the poster boy for "Shoulda quit while he was ahead" and I don't mean just recently. He could have quietly left the scene years ago and people would have a very different image of him than they do now. Right up through the day before 9/11, he was detested by a large majority of New Yorkers who had finally caught on to his bullshit. Then came the horror of 9/11. Helped along by the corporate media, Rudy played the role of "calming presence" and his reputation and poll ratings grew like an unchecked virus. He had once again revved up his PR savvy, the same savvy that had earlier gained him a bloated reputation as a crime busting prosecutor when it was others who had done the real work. He slickly eased into a new and bigger business of being Rudy Giuliani for fun and profit. He did it to a degree even more grandiose than it had been once before. He did it to an extent that was astoundingly beyond pathological. He formed nebulous self-named companies such as Giuliani-Security & Safety having virtually no expertise in the field. It's worth noting that, to this day, no one outside of Rudy's circle seems to know what the company actually does for the money it takes in from the private sector or organizations such as the 2016 Olympic Organizing Committee, or know at least what modicum of "expertise" Rudy brings to the table. The company's website is amateurish and laugh-inducing at best. Middle School kids could do better and do. Rudy also "co-wrote" a book ironically titled "Leadership." He went the route of giving superficial lectures for corporate morons and political groups at $200,000 a pop, and generally set about being as big of a celebrity as possible. He did it all on the backs of the dead of 9/11. There was even a Rudy Giuliani movie starring a miscast James Woods. John Belushi would have done a lot more with the role, alive or dead. Rudy did everything but create a line of Rudy Giuliani 9/11 pasta sauces. In the end, Rudy made himself into nothing but "a noun, a verb and 9/11" as Joe Biden so aptly pointed out.

It all worked well for him for way too long. Several years went by and he was still well thought of by the fools and media sycophants like Wolf Blitzer despite his past horrendous public treatment of his wife, a treatment so bad that his own children stopped even speaking to him. Giuliani thought he was teflon. He thought he was bulletproof. He had his ludicrous unearned and undeserved reputation as "America's Mayor" and a reputation among those who don't know better as great prosecutor. It was all PR hype, of course. So what if he had moved the porno theaters out of Times Square. They were doomed to close with the arrival of the Internet anyway. All he did was move them to Queens and replace them with an equal blight of super-sized fast food joints and tacky, tourist-trap corporate storefronts. It might as well be an over-crowded, filthy version of Orlando now. He exchanged one Mob for another, and you know damn well the original Mob was involved in the construction of every aspect of the new Times Square.

The mention of Orlando should remind us all that Rudy is also the "genius" who has a megalomaniacal affliction so bad that he thought he could be president. Genius business man that he is, he raised $50,000,000 from his corporate sucker friends for his 2008 presidential campaign and got a whole ONE delegate for the money. That delegate was in Flor-i-duh, of course, and that delegate quickly evaporated into thin air.

Think about this: Rudy Giuliani spent $50,000,000 for the nomination and got nowhere. Then, a few years later, along came his even more fraudulent pal Donald Trump and he glued himself to Donnie's campaign in hopes of being Trump's AG. He'd already sung the praises of Vladimir Putin on GOP-TV so he was a natural fit. His ego is so far gone that it doesn't even seem to bother him that a freak like Donnie could pull off what he could not. Don't worry, Rudy, you are not alone on that list.



Rudy just couldn't resist the opportunity to sit in front of the cameras on FOX "News" even more, nearly every night in fact. As his law enforcement contemporaries have always said, Rudy Giuliani has never seen a camera or microphone that he didn't run to. Former FBI Director James Comey references this in his book when, back in earlier days, a supervisor warned him that "the most dangerous place in New York is between Rudy and a microphone." As his insanity grows more and more uncontrollable, he will soon be crashing stages at karaoke bars and wedding receptions, cruising for votes for dogcatcher.

His dementia in full flower now, Rudy Giuliani just has to make himself a center of attraction. He sees himself as a sort of "Trump New York" now. Anything, even that, for the spotlight. He is closer to Trump than ever before. It's like they are Siamese twins in insanity. I'll leave it to the doctors and the scientists to determine which twin gave it to the other. If you told Giuliani he had to strip naked for the camera on Hannity, he would tear off his clothes at blinding super speed. He is anything Trump wants him to be now. He channels the crazy like no other, not even Sarah or Kellyanne. The money is good but the spotlight is even better. He needs it. He craves it. No opioid addiction was ever worse. There he is on FOX "News" every night, feverishly spraying Sean with the froth of his frenzied saliva, showing America and the world what doctors and nurses see in psychiatric institutions every damn day. After Trump is gone, Giuliani will either beg for a chance to run again or have sex with dogs on a carny row in the Flor-i-duh panhandle, just as long as there's a camera and a mic.

The wonderful Jon Oliver had more to say about Rudy earlier this year, shortly after Rudy became Trump's lawyer and ventriloquist dummy. This clip is 15 minutes long and worth every minute. It's a kind of Rudy's Greatest Hits, so far. If you think Rudy's persona has gotten as bad as it can possibly be, just wait. Sooner or later, he will implode and become the whimpering fool h's always been inside. He'll do it on national TV, of course.
