Comment on How Saturday Night Live returned to TV after 9/11

I keep going back to how the guy who wielded RICO so cleverly to wreck the mob, a successful “PR campaign” post 9/11 that dubbed him the “Mayor of America,” and a serious potential presidential candidate ended up leaking oil out of his scalp in front of a landscaping place, being the mouthpiece for a sort-of wannabe mafia-esque organization and eventually getting bitchslapped with RICO charges himself.
I think it’s one part alcoholism, one part grasping wildly for the glory days, and possibly one part dude just getting wackier with age. There’s probably a feeling of invincibility he has from the highest highs he reached in his life and maybe even a bit of smug “I know what’s best for this country, I was it’s goddamn Mayor for the love of fuck!”
Whatever it is, fuck that guy. Time to piss off, Rudy. You’re embarrassing yourself and the rest of us by extension.
