We’re told that revenge is a dish best served cold. And now we see indictments are best served with party favors and hats. At least that was the case Friday when operatives of the Attorney General of Arizona’s office showed up to serve process on Rudy Giuliani while he was belting out a rendition of New York, New York. They served him with an indictment which accuses defendants of interfering with “the lawful transfer of the presidency of the United States, keeping President Donald J Trump in office against the will of Arizona voters, and depriving Arizona voters of their right to vote and have their votes counted.” That’s some present to get handed on your 80th birthday. That does not bode well for the decade ahead. The Independent:
“Mayor Rudy Giuliani—one of the most effective prosecutors in American history who took down the Mafia, cleaned up the streets of New York and locked up corrupt public officials—is proud to stand up for the countless Americans who raised legitimate concerns surrounding the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election,” a spokesperson for Mr Giuliani previously told The Independent.
A spokesperson for Mr Giuliani also previously suggested that he wasn’t difficult to find. “We are LIVE every night, where we regularly announce our specific location,” the spokesperson said, referencing his live broadcasts on YouTube. […]
The incident caused guests to scream and one individual began crying, the Post reports.
They might have been screaming and crying over his butchering New York, New York. I’m sure Sinatra was rolling in his grave.
Tone deaf…literally.

That’s enough to make me scream. Dogs hearing that will start howling. The only MAGA who is worse than this is Lara Trump. Let’s be fair to Rudy, at least he doesn’t think he can sing, he’s not that deluded. Or, maybe that will be his next career. Right now he’s king of MAGA world, top of the trash heap. I’m waiting for his defense GoFundMe to show up, I haven’t seen it yet. And it gets funnier. Before Giuliani was served, he taunted the Arizona AG.
Arizona’s Democratic Attorney General Kris Mayes on Friday announced that Rudy Giuliani had been served with the notice of his indictment on charges related to a conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election results in Arizona.
The announcement came less than two hours after Giuliani taunted Mayes for failing to deliver his indictment in a social media post. The notice was served to Giuliani during his 80th birthday celebration in Palm Beach, Florida.
In a now-deleted post on X, Giuliani taunted Arizona authorities. “If Arizona authorities can’t find me by tomorrow morning; 1. They must dismiss the indictment; 2. They must concede they can’t count votes,” Giuliani posted Friday night. Accompanying the message was a photo of Giuliani smiling with six others and balloons floating in the backdrop.
An hour and fourteen minutes later, Mayes responded to Giuliani’s post writing, “The final defendant was served moments ago. @RudyGiuliani, nobody is above the law.”
Giuliani, 79, turns 80 on May 28th and was enjoying an early birthday celebration in Palm Beach on the night he was served, according to social media activity. By the end of the night, “Happy Birthday To You” wasn’t the only music the former New York City mayor had to face.
Giuliani’s belligerence in the face of his life collapsing these past several years has been amazing. His denial is stunning. I wonder if the man ever stops drinking if he’ll come to his senses? He may end up getting a detox in the House Of Many Doors.
He should have been in jail long ago.

Let’s keep a watch on news about Liza Minnelli for the next few days at least. After all, SHE was the one who originated the song in the Martin Scorsese film, “New York, New York” (the song was also written by a pair of men, Fred Ebb and John Kander, who’d worked with Minnelli on a number of projects including her Broadway debut, “Flora the Red Menace,” and the Broadway musical “Cabaret” which, of course, became a hit film co-starring Minnelli–incidentally, Minnelli won the Tony for “Flora” and won an Oscar for “Cabaret”). I’d also keep a watch on news about Mr Kander–he’s 97 and hearing Rudy butcher the song couldn’t possibly be good for the gentleman’s health. (Mr Ebb passed away 20 years ago.)
Liza: a class act
rudy: a crass ass that leaks to boot.
