Althouse: "Rudy Giuliani gets booed when Yankees announce it's his birthday at Yankee Stadium."

२८ मे, २०१८

"Rudy Giuliani gets booed when Yankees announce it's his birthday at Yankee Stadium."

The Daily News reports.

I can see why the Yankee fans are cranky. What the hell happened to the Yankees in the last couple weeks?

Maybe they weren't booing; they were giu-ing.

Howard म्हणाले...: Thanks narciso, didn't know that interesting tid bit re Felt

Fact: Mark Felt was asked during a grand jury interrogation whether he was Deep Throat.

The final scene of the Mark Felt movie draws on a real episode that Woodward recounted in his book about Felt, The Secret Man. As Woodward tells it, the story was relayed to him by Justice Department official Stanley Pottinger during a lunch meeting in 1976. Pottinger had noted that at one point during a grand jury investigation about illegal break-ins by FBI agents, Felt “volunteered with a smile that he was such a frequent visitor at the White House that some people thought he was Deep Throat.” Woodward continued:

After Pottinger and the other Justice lawyers were finished with their interrogation, Pottinger, as was the custom, asked if any grand jurors, who are ordinary citizens, had questions for the witness. One man raised his hand and asked, ‘Were you?’

‘Was I what?’ Felt inquired.

‘Were you Deep Throat?’

Felt looked so stunned, Pottinger said, he seemed to go white. Listening to this over lunch, I probably went white as well.

‘No,’ Felt initially answered.

The film cuts off before Felt answers the question. In reality, Pottinger then told the stenographer to stop taking notes and told Felt that, because he was under oath, he was required to answer honestly. “I consider the question to be outside the bounds of our official investigation, so if you prefer, I’ll withdraw the question,” Pottinger told Felt, who asked that the question be withdrawn.; २८/५/१८, ६:०८ PM

Bay Area Guy म्हणाले...: 1. The Yankee fans shoulda booed Verlander, who mowed 'em down all game.

2. There was no "Deep Throat". Woodward had many different anonymous sources - including Mark Felt. "Deep Throat" was a composite concoction to add a little spice to story and distract from major, illegal leaking by Govt Officials.

3. Probably, Woodward's most important source was Alexander Haig, who played the game well, but was generally opposed to Nixon's & Kissinger's detente, opening of China & ending Vietnam War.; २८/५/१८, ६:२२ PM

Robert Cook म्हणाले...: "Don’t play dumb. They were booing because Rudy went to work for Trump."

No, they were booing because they are New Yorkers and they know Giuliani, a sleazeball asshole extraordinaire. This dick didn't even tell his prior wife he was leaving her, but announced it on the local news. He had been having an affair with another woman for some time and decided to divorce his wife and marry his mistress, (which he did). However, he wanted his wife to move out of the Mayor's mansion so his mistress could openly visit him there.

This is a story about the original announcement. In the story, a Chrystine Lategano is mentioned as a former staff member of Giuliani's who was alleged to have had an affair with him. Oddly, a year or two before Giuliani was elected Mayor, I was taking a jogging class with my then-girlfriend at the NY RoadRunners Club. My girlfiend was chatty to a fault and she got friendly with the woman teaching the class, who, she learned, was active in Republican politics in New Jersey. The jogging class teacher was Chrystine Lategano.

(I had to drop out of the jogging class, as I kept getting shin splints that kept me from being able to run. Chrystine examined my legs and told me my one leg was slightly longer than the other, a "very common thing," as she said. She suggested I could be fitted for orthotics, which would allow me to jog without the shin splints, but my girlfriend suggested we take a speed-walking class instead. We did, and I kept on speed-walking for years after that. Early on, I was speedwalking in Central Park at the same time as a 5k running race was in process. Along the way, I heard a voice behind me cheering me on, "Keep going, Bob!" As the person cheering me on came alongside me and then then passed me, I saw it was Chrystine Lategano, running in the 5k.)

Here's more about Rudy's inelegant way of separating from from his prior wife.; २८/५/१८, ६:५४ PM

"Lets take a time machine and run thru Rudy's love life because it's just sooooooo relevant."

It's not that Giuliani had affairs and left his wife...that's everyday life. It's the way he handled it...announcing his separation on television before even telling his wife, and wanting his mistress to visit him in the Mayor's mansion while his children and wife were still there. It shows his real character: he has no class. That's why New Yorkers boo him...we know he's an asshole.; २८/५/१८, ७:३६ PM

“Just years apart in the 1990s, they both gave up their top-tier private law firm jobs to return to the trenches of prosecuting criminals — Mueller as a junior prosecutor in Washington, DC, and Comey in Richmond, Virginia,” Washingtonian reports. “Both men were rising stars mentored and guided by Eric Holder in the 1990s during Holder’s time in the Justice Department under the Clinton administration.”. - Washington Post
