Here’s a Surprise: Rudy Giuliani is Not the Same as You and Me
Are There Two Systems of Law in America?
I happened to note in the New York Times that Rudy Giuliani is scheduled to answer a contempt of court hearing this week for failure to surrender certain personal items to satisfy a judgment.
It reminded me that last year while watching the debacle that was election night on NBC News, I was amused to see a photograph of Rudy Guiliani pulling up to vote in Florida wearing an oxford shirt printed in a red-white-and-blue American flag and driving an equally blue convertible Mercedes Benz that he claims was once owned by Lauren Bacall.
To be sure, I was not surprised at his choice of haberdashery. Rudy is one of those people who always seems to be wearing the wrong thing at the wrong time. Like people at the beach who are fully clothed in black from head to toe, even though heat is hovering over the sand in waves that rise like steam from a tea kettle. I don’t know this from experience, but I’ll bet that somewhere in Rudy’s underwear drawer, there are a couple of pairs of banana hammock underwear with “Home of the Whopper” emblazoned across the crotch.
He just seems that way.
