So WTF is wrong with him?

Now that Rudy has been proven to be a malicious liar in court (we already knew that of course), what in the flying %$$$# caused him to throw everything away?
Seriously, I have no idea. Senility, mental illness, substance abuse, or just mendaciousness?

The other night I heard Anderson Cooper say that Rudy would be found dead in a hotel room with an empty bottle of bourbon. I couldn't believe he would say that on the air. Is it a known fact that he is an alcoholic?

I'm glad that justice prevailed whatever the cause.

in 2007, Joe Biden said of Rudy "Three things he mentions in a sentence...a noun, a verb, and 9/11"...and that has dogged Rudy to this day...

when he was still the US Attorney for the Southern District of NY in the early 80’s, and I told my co-workers then that he was an asshole. I wonder if they remember that?

and usually while posing in front of the Great Seal of the United States in the foyer of his office (like see what a handsome President I’d be someday) in front of any journalist he could round up.

If Anderson said it in the air I guess he got an okay from legal on that.

Wet brain is the colloquial expression. He did good to still be alive his age.

He's always been an arrogant asshole but now he's an old drunk as well, making him exponentially worse.
