Warning: NSFW language

“Jewish men have small cocks because they can’t use them after they get married,” Giuliani said, according to the transcript. “Whereas the Italian use them all their lives so they get bigger.”

Giuliani railed against how Jewish people “want to go through that freaking Passover all the time” and how they should “get over the Passover” because it was 3,000 years ago. “OK, the Red Sea parted,” the transcript reads. “Big deal. Not the first time that happened.”

Giuliani doesn’t elaborate on other instances when the Red Sea was parted.

The transcripts also feature Giuliani discussing which celebrities are Republican. Giuliani is trying to think of someone in particular and Dunphy volunteers that Matt Damon is “very liberal.”

“Matt Damon is a fag,” Giuliani replies. “Matt Damon is also 5’2″, eyes are blue. Coochi-coochie-coochie-coo.”

Various websites list Damon as around 5’10”. It’s unclear why Giuliani invoked the 1920s song “Has Anybody Seen My Girl? (Five Foot Two, Eyes of Blue)” or what it has to do with the actor.

Then there are the lewd comments directed toward Dunphy. “Come here, big tits,” Giuliani says on one occasion, according to the transcript. “Come here, big tits. Your tits belong to me. Give them to me [indiscernable]. I want to claim my tits. I want to claim my tits. I want to claim my tits. These are my tits.”

        It’s the “not the first time it’s happened/coochie coochie” bit that has me thinking that he’s expressing a freer association than most.

        It’s still vulgar, but there’s an element of the words not really linking up to the topic while still maintaining the flow of a sentence or conversation.

        I was revolted by the “America’s Mayor” shit in 2001, as if we were supposed to be amazed about him personally, that a disaster happened in his city and he did an adequate job responding to it. He was a shitbag before that, with things like ‘stop and frisk’ and ‘broken window policing’ (which were essentially authoritarian ways to harass poor people) and obviously continues to be one to this day.

          I guarantee you someone more competent would have done a much better job on 9/11.

            What he did most effectively on 9/11 was polish his personal brand with it. He took every opportunity to be on camera, and mentioned it in every interview for years afterwards. It’s less clear that he was much of an asset to the efforts.

            Exactly, though if he retired after 9/11 nobody would have questioned whether his “America’s Mayor” label was earned or not. He’d have gone down in the history books as a great man (totally unearned but that’s what the history books would have said).

            He just had to keep opening his mouth, though.

            Yeah, it’s extremely unclear to me what he did that was so special. Walked around the WTC site? Amazing

              My recollection is that he admired the man by reputation before he actually got to interact with him, but once he saw what Giuliani was like, he thought he was horrible.

    How do people like this always seem to find new lows to sink to?

    Why didn’t this asshat just shut the fuck up after 9/11? He would’ve been fondly remembered, and we wouldn’t have known he’s an butthole blowing antisemite.

    At one point, this man had a realistic shot at being president. It’s like what we would be reading about Trump had he lost in 2016.

    Everything I read about Guiliani, the more I dislike him. Dude was a lawyer for Purdue pharmaceuticals and helped them to beat government sanctions which allowed that company to continue sales of their highly addictive opioid, OxyContin.

      See that’s why I think he really does have dementia though. Dude was always an asshole a probably always a racist misogynist. But he used to be able to make a coherent statement and was reportedly a competent lawyer. Apparently he does not have anyone around him who can or will keep him from going on TV and making a further ass of himself.

      He’s done two decent things in his entire life, 9/11 but at this point I don’t know whether he did anything at all or just the people of NYC are extremely resilient and bounced back despite him, and investigating the fat content of frozen yogurt being described as fat free

        I’m unsure how to feel about his actions post-9/11 given how the city treated first responders.

        He did nothing at all except be there when it happened. Right place, right time kinda situation. Or wrong time, I dunno. It’s also how Bush’s approval rating shot up and helped his reelection. Before 9/11, he was turning out to be a lame duck. 9/11 was his big break.
