" the gods of absurdity overachieved"

And he passes gas at hearings

 Rudy Giuliani has not had a good week.In fact, he has been in a downward spiral since he joined forces with Donald Trump.  But the past week has been intensely cruel.

It began when he held a press conference notable for its frantic incoherence and streaks of brown liquid running down his face. Some people contended that he was sweating so much that it dissolved his hair dye.  Some said it was something else.  Whatever it was, the brown trickle was gross and made Rudy an object of ridicule and scorn as a fitting accompaniment to a press conference that was an insult to intelligence.

Then he appeared before a hearing by the Michigan legislature to testify on the Trump campaign accusations of voter fraud.  Again, the testimony from him and the people he brought with him was ridiculously incoherent, and the microphones picked up punctuation by farts.  People present at the hearing said, yes, the noise came from Rudy's asshole.  Farts are now part of the official record.

These events all occurred after Rudy appeared at a press conference in a parking lot outside a place called  Four Season's Landscaping Co.  It was supposed to be scheduled for a Four Seasons Hotel.  No one ever involved i a campaign or making any kind of public relations arrangement can explain how such a ridiculous error could be carried out, but so goes the campaign and Rudy's role in it.

The last thing to befall Giuliani is that he has tested positive for covid-19 and will not participate in the effort to overturn the election of Joe Biden for a while--an effort that is inflicting possibly fatal damage to American democracy.

While the election of Joe Biden offers some hope of restoring the nation to a state of sanity, a good portion of the population is in a deranged fury.  Either because of gullible stupidity or intensely malicious purpose, it believes and is acting on the perfidious mendacity of the Trump campaign.  Everything Trump has ever touched turns into a demonstration of malignant, destructive idiocy.  Giuliani, once regarded as a competent mayor of New York City, has turned into a vessel of flailing idiocy.

The only explanation is that he has been touched by Donald Trump.  The gods of absurdity, worshipped by many in the nation, have overachieved.
