If Rudy Giuliani, a central figure in the impeachment probe into President Trump, is going to keep talking to the media, at least he’s now letting his lawyer chaperone him.
Allow me to clarify further: The joke is stupid, unfunny, and almost entirely pointless to where it’s not really a joke at all. It’s an old man who thinks he’s clever’s attempt at a joke.
“But I do have very, very good insurance, so if he does, all my hospital bills will be paid,” he said with a laugh, according to the Guardian. This prompted his lawyer to interject.
“He has terrible insurance - insanely high deductible, enormous co-pay, massive monthly payments, and no real protection, so he is joking.”
“But I do have very, very good insurance, so if he does, all my hospital bills will be paid,” he said with a laugh, according to the Guardian. This prompted his lawyer to interject.
“He’s joking,” said Costello, who, according to the Guardian, was dialed in on the call.
“He not only has good health insurance, he’s got good paid-up life insurance, too.”
For right-wingers, comedy is damn near impossible. Comedy requires a combination of self-awareness, an appreciation for irony, a dash of self-deprecation, and empathy. For wingnuts, that’s an insuperable barrier.
I would say that Rudy should fire his lawyer for allowing him to speak to the press, but I’m pretty certain Costello was the only lawyer in the world willing to take that job.
