From wiki:Harold Giuliani, a plumber and a bartender,[40] had trouble holding a job, and was convicted of felony assault and robbery, serving time in Sing Sing.[41] After his release he worked as an enforcer for his brother-in-law Leo D'Avanzo, who ran an organized crime operation involved in loan sharking and gambling at a restaurant in Brooklyn.[42] The family lived in East Flatbush, Brooklyn until Harold died of prostate cancer in 1981,[43] after which Helen moved to Manhattan's Upper East Side.

Fernando Ferrer? Maybe. I didn't hear that part of the story.

Ah, Mayor Noun, Verb, and 9/11. Who once set the modern US land record for highest ratio of money spent to delegates earned in a presidential primary: $50M for 0 delegates. Now we have his successor, Bloomberg, saying "Hold my Cheval Blanc 1947 (only $305,000/bottle) and watch this!" as he spends $500M (and counting) for still 0 delegates.

Zongo! Thank you. I’m not sure how I feel about somebody whose father was even a low-level gangster being allowed to be a US attorney. Obviously no one wants to be judged by shit their father did (I sure as hell don’t) but it is a law enforcement. That’s a bit different and special.

No, I can't claim originality on that one, but I've cheerfully adopted it!

He was arrested for armed robbery, he was involved in loan sharking. His cousins were also mafia associates. Michael Cohen's father was also a gangster. Are you surprised any of these people are actual criminals? I'm not.

Given Giuliani‘s behaviour I’m not surprised that he has a bunch of gangster relatives. What’s surprising is that given that he was allowed to be a US attorney. 😳

He was fairly well respected, too. I'm not sure when his brain broke. Watching him froth at the mouth at the RNC was really something.

Yep. I didn’t notice until after the election that he lost his marbles. Yesterday I was watching something super old, yeah Dana Carvey was on Stephen Colbert and they were talking about some late night show Carvey had a million years ago. I think Carvey does Giuliani. That reminded me of a daily show joke back during Bush II, they were talking about who would be the most popular candidate and Running mate. It was kept getting more ridiculous. Till it was Rudy Giuliani and the kitten. Then Rudy Giuliani and an ice cream cone. So this would’ve been like six years after 911. 😯
