Giuliani the Jokester

On Wednesday, Steve said, "Democrats have to define Giuliani now—as scary, as Bush Redux, as something."

How does "Someone Who, Limbaugh-Like, Makes Fun of Parkinson's Patients" grab ya?


For those who can't see the video (via Arlen), it's a clip from a documentary called Giuliani Time in which Giuliani spends part of the weekly radio show he had as mayor of NYC making fun of a Parkinson's patient who called to complain that Giuliani's policies had resulted in his being purged from the food stamp and Medicaid rolls several times. In spite of being told the caller is sick, Giuliani doesn't bother to find out what's wrong with him or that he's physically disabled, but instead starts mocking him, telling him he sounds like he's in a hole and that he's "breathing funny."

And then: "There's something really wrong with you, John. There really is. I can hear it in your voice. Now why don't you stay on the line, we'll take your name and your number, and we'll send you psychiatric help, because you seriously need it."

What a charmer.
