He doesn’t have enough money to pay for handlers, I guess…
“I’m not an alcoholic. Alcoholics go to meetings.”
Go home, Rudy. You’re drunk.
I’ll take your word for it. Anything is better than having to listen to that idiot blather.
They don’t want him there either. That’s why he’s been reduced to shaving in airport restaurants.
The phrasing of this is right out of the Trump playbook laminated cheatsheet. Alcohol isn’t the addiction I’m worried about with Giuliani.
Functional? Noooooooo… not for some time Rudy.
Here’s the thing about bullshitters. They think the same style of phony bullshitting that worked the first time will continue working indefinitely. It doesn’t.
I don’t trust these types of interviews where the reporter does a re-ask as she’s shot from a different angle. You can totally tell there’s only one camera on this. The question and answer are not genuine to each other.
I’ll shoot a reverse or wide for my reporter nodding or whatever, but re-asks are a grey area bordering on greasy.
I hope Rudy isn’t an alcoholic… can’t wish that hell on anyone.
“I haven’t changed at all.”
You mean you aren’t sure, Rudy? You mean you forgot about the ones where you were drunk, Rudy?
Yeah, right. Whatever you say, Pickles.
90% of what population, Rudy? The population of a bar at closing time?
And what is your definition of ‘functioning’?
Rudy, “I’m not addicted to Alcohol! Alcohol is addicted to me!!!”
@vernonbird I’m sure he can supply 90% proof.
Though, on a serious point, I hope he isn’t addicted to alcohol; it is a crap situation for anyone, even an odious slug like him, to find themself in.
Duet?
This poor man has to get up every morning and be Rudy Giuliani. Isn’t that hell enough? I mean, I’m not anywhere near him and he still feels like a little taste of hell to me.
The words Taste and Rudy Giuliani should never be in a sentence, ever.
Why do “news” outlets give any airtime at all to known liars and crackpots, when all they’re going to do is continue to lie in order to rehab the terrible (and correct!) impressions that their previous statements and actions have given the public?
