Rudy Giuliani disbarred in New York

Politico:

Rudy Giuliani has been disbarred in New York for his efforts to subvert the 2020 election.

🎶 Disbarred! Oh boy, I’m so disbarred! 🎶

(To the tune of Betrayed.)

The decision is a remarkable rebuke of the former mayor of New York City who rose to prominence as a hard-nosed tough-on-crime prosecutor before gaining national fame for his leadership of the city after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

A reminder that in the wake of that horrific attack, Giuliani sought to cancel the November, 2001 mayoral elections and stay on, despite being “termed out” and unable to run for, or legally serve, a third term. His anti-democratic behavior isn’t new or surprising to any New Yorkers who survived his terms. (Hi.)

As then-presidential candidate Biden remarked about him in 2008,

There’s only three things he mentions in a sentence—a noun and a verb and 9/11. There’s nothing else! There’s nothing else! And I mean this sincerely. He’s genuinely not qualified to be president.

Nor a lawyer.
