Matt BlazeI'm getting an unreasonable amount of pleasure out of watching Rudy Giuliani being grilled on election security at his ethics hearing.

We covered the stuff they're asking him about right now in my class about a month ago. Maybe he should have taken it as part of his prep.
The icing on the cake was where he blurted out right before the lunch break that he just noticed he's wearing two watches.
Hearing resuming now.
Ah, he finally invoked BLM/Antifa/Soros/Philly-DA conspiracies. Because of course.
It would be a shame if his sad, confused performance at this hearing were to be remembered as the totality of the legacy Giuliani leaves behind. He accomplished much as NYC's mayor, as exemplified by his calm, even-handed stewardship of the city's war on ferrets:

Mr Elephant Sr.@mattblaze Maybe a bit of a crap take from a guy in the UK here, but he basically took the praise for other's work- even regarding 9/11?
Like I say, it maybe a crappy take but, fuck Rudi. (Unless you're a teenager/adolescent).

@MrBigEars It's probably fair to say he handled the day itself competently, but he dined out on that for an awfully long time afterward. And more seriously, some of the policies of his administration likely contributed to the communications failures that caused deaths of many of the first responders. (E.g., the lack of communication between NYPD, which had a helicopter, and FDNY, which had people in the tower who never got an evacuation warning.)
