Thank God for Uncle Rudy

You know Rudy — the eccentric, sometimes batty, uncle who lives in the attic? One thing about Rudy, he always seems to know when family gatherings are becoming tense and descends to the rescue with some gibberish to lighten the mood.

What would we do without him?

Uncle Rudy used to be New York City Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani long before becoming President Trump’s lawyer. What a difference 17 years makes. The commanding leader who helped America navigate the horror of 9/11 is again making the TV rounds, but this time he seems to be speaking English as a second language. Quite a few cable anchors were at risk of reversing their Botox injections as they attempted to follow what he was saying.

Someone must have whispered in his ear, because Monday afternoon, Giuliani called into Fox News’s “Outnumbered” to try to explain what he had said earlier in the day on CNN and “Fox & Friends.” You might need a notepad to follow this.

On CNN, Giuliani had talked about a pre-meeting of Trump aides to discuss a strategy for the infamous June 9, 2016, meeting that took place a few days later at Trump Tower between Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner, Paul Manafort and members of a Russian delegation.
