I was somewhat saddened when Mad Magazine went out of business a few years back, when Donald Trump was in office. Saddened but not surprised. Who needs Mad Magazine when the headlines of any newspaper, certainly of any halfway aware political blog, trump (excuse my language) anything Alfred E. Neumann could have ever dreamt of?
Rudy Giuliani hired Kristin Davis, aka the Manhattan Madam, to be his new public relations consultant. What a great set up line. I’m sure that all the writers at Colbert, SNL, all of them, are dabbling with this as we speak. Uproxx:
When we last checked on who’s running communications for Rudy Giuliani, he was working with Todd Shapiro, a man best known for representing Lindsay Lohan’s family and several Hooters restaurants in New Jersey and Long Island. Shapiro, who had replaced 20-something Instagram influencer Christianne Allen, is apparently out of the picture because Giuliani’s latest PR guru is, well, let’s just say a logical next step.
According to a post on her Instagram page, Giuliani is now being represented by Kristin Davis, the “Manhattan Madam” who infamously ran a high-end prostitution ring in the 2000s. Remember when Elliot Spitzer got caught in 2008? That was Davis’ service he used to hire Ashley Dupre. And if you’re wondering why we didn’t say “former” Manhattan Madam, that’s because Davis is still using the name for her Instagram handle. […]
Of course, like all things Giuliani, Davis naturally has some interesting ties to the MAGA world on top of, again, being a well-known high-end madam. Via Mediaite:
Davis also has a strange connection to Robert Mueller’s Russia collusion investigation. Davis was contacted by investigators before they searched the duplex home of Donald Trump ally Roger Stone. Davis had also lived at the duplex, but had moved out a week earlier. She ended up testifying before a grand jury as part of the investigation, the Washington Post reported.
For Davis’ first assignment, maybe she can talk Rudy out of screaming at people at parades. That seems like something you don’t want your client doing. Also, maybe keep him away from hidden camera situations. You’re gonna really want to avoid those.
What cliches come to mind? A match made in Hell? Water finds its own level? A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush and who knows more about birds and bushes than this broad? It’s going to be a long, hot, stupid summer, at least for Giuliani.
Wonder if Howley and the rest think prostitution causes mass killings in schools? I mean, it’s one of the irrelevant activities I haven’t seen them blame.
What kind of relations?
I miss Mad too – but, let’s be honest “What – me worry?” didn’t fit in the Age of Trump.
It was impossible NOT to worry because the idiot would have started a global war just so he could use up all those nukes on hurricanes (and anything else that may have disturbed his bald spot covering).
But we have Rude Julie-Ann who’s even madder than anything that was ever in the magazine
Well, the simplest explanation is that Rudy got tired of fucking his cousin. Or she got tired of fucking him. Or both. Am I the only one wondering if this move by Rudy involved Matt Gaetz?
That’s a good question. (Although she wasn’t a close cousin – second cousin, which is not all that close, and quite legal. It’s someone who shares a great-grandparent with you.)
Well yeah, she will do most any thing you want to pay her for. Maybe now, he won’t be going into the hotel rooms of underage girls and sticking his hands down into his shorts.
