Reactionary politics whether the reform-liberal or conservative hood-wink, is always about opportunity. How any individual seizes and at times creates opportunity speaks more about their character than sense of deduction.
So what does this one after another domino effect, oops! say about Rudy Giuliani's character? The colloquial adage, If you lie with dogs you'll catch the fleas is empirical wisdom.
Scandal revolves around Giuliani, who were it not for John" The Teflon Don" Gotti, would be just another red tie blue suit wearing faceless Mr. Smith in a sea of Smith's lawyering hamster like on the social-contract tread wheel.
At least Nixon was able to conceal his character flaws till his Water-Gate over reach. Giuliani is an old dog and cannot be taught new tricks, his affinity for hypocrisy has propelled him high enough and if human consciousness is to be spared the spectacle of President Giuliani's cabinet pleading guilty to corruption charges, being indicted on cocaine charges and confessions to very serious sins, then let that wheezing Bronx cheer be Giuliani's cue that yes it took a while but as his rise was built on the backs of "Wise-Guys" so has the polity wised up to him.
