He was a competent U.S. Attorney but his ego, and eventually his drinking brought him to the sorry mess he is now. And he was always a racist, authoritarian asshole. After 9/11 he was widely disliked, partly because he wanted another term even though he was term-limited; then he tried to run for president and went nowhere with that. I don't think he could stand becoming irrelevant, which is why he finally ended up attached to TFG.

Thank you so much for the reminder!

I had forgotten to DVR it. Fortunately, it's re-airing so I was able to.

Thanks again!

during the 9-11 news coverage, I thought, oh no, he could become president!

I hope that possibility is dead.

From the US Associate AG under Reagan, to AG for Southern District of NY, to Mayor, to a partner in a NYC law firm, to Trump's personal lawyer, to a lawyer for a Venezuelan businessman, to a subject of federal investigation, to a Romanian lobbyist, to being kicked out of NYS Bar association, to having his DC law license suspended.

A pretty pathetic turn of events.

his loss to Dinkins in the ‘80’s as being stolen. It wasn’t a time when one could make a display of it, or say it too loudly, but interesting that the seed was there.

Giuliani didn’t change so much as he was given permission to be who he always was.
