Giuliani was hired to be on America&#8217;s CEO\/Dictator, Donald Trump&#8217;s legal team\u00a0after Ty Cobb resigned. Giuliani immediately stuck his foot\u00a0in his big mouth by making the rounds in the media and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/05\/02\/us\/politics\/trump-michael-cohen-stormy-daniels-giuliani.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stating that Trump did pay back the hush money to Michael Cohen that he doled out to porn actress Stormy Daniels<\/a>, which promptly proves that Trump lied about not knowing anything about hush money payments. In each of Giuliani&#8217;s television appearances, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanityfair.com\/hollywood\/2018\/05\/rudy-giuliani-donald-trump-stormy-daniels-michael-cohen-payment-late-night\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">he appeared completely out of sorts, yelling at times and appearing completely bamboozled and lost<\/a>. We think the term &#8216;meltdown&#8217; is very appropriate. He reminded us of the famous face melting scene of Major Arnold Toht in <em>Raiders of the Lost Ark<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, we&#8217;ve never really understood why Giuliani was so popular. True, he was mayor of New York during 9\/11 and he displayed a calmness through the resulting tumult that was reassuring. But beyond that&#8230;zilch. He always seemed like a bit of a mobster and he&#8217;s certainly acting like it now. At least he fits in with the Trump administration, which has been one embarrassing event after another since January 16, 2017. Mr. Giuliani&#8217;s media tour\u00a0has been a complete fiasco. He has\u00a0proven he is incompetent enough to be associated with Donald Trump. Way to go, Rudy!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6013\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6013\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6013\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/giulianitohtmeltingfaceseparatedatbirth.jpg\" alt=\"Hot from his recent media meltdowns, Trump lawyer Rudy Guliani bears a striking resemblance to the melty face Major Arnold Toht from the Raiders of the Lost Ark.\" width=\"500\" height=\"438\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/giulianitohtmeltingfaceseparatedatbirth.jpg 500w, http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/giulianitohtmeltingfaceseparatedatbirth-300x263.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 85vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6013\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hot from his recent media meltdowns, Trump lawyer Rudy Guliani bears a striking resemblance to the melty face Major Arnold Toht from the Raiders of the Lost Ark.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former mayor of New York City, Rudy Giuliani has returned to the spotlight recently and just as quickly may be returning to oblivion.
