Idiota
You've got to wonder whether he's firing on all cylinders. Some of his interviews and speeches are pretty embarrassing to watch.

Arizona prosecutors have tried for weeks – and so far failed – to serve Rudy Giuliani with notice of his indictment related to an alleged scheme to overturn the 2020 election results in that state.
Giuliani is among a group of former President Donald Trump’s allies indicted last month in Arizona alongside the 11 individuals who acted as fake GOP electors from the state in the last presidential election. But the former New York City mayor and one-time attorney for Trump is the only defendant prosecutors have been unable to serve with a summons, according to Richie Taylor, a spokesperson for the Arizona attorney general’s office.
The summons is a formal notice that Giuliani has been criminally charged and must appear before a judge on May 21, and a team of prosecutors and investigators working for Arizona Democratic Attorney General Kris Mayes has made multiple attempts to locate him, Taylor told CNN.

He's really become a pathetic caricature of himself.
George mentioned this way above in this thread.
It is quite sad.

Yeah. Catsimatides has been friends with Giuliani for decades and personally asked him to stop. But he wouldn’t which gave him no choice.

Happy Birthday, Mr. Mayor.
Rudy Giuliani spent most of the past month successfully evading an indictment for a 2020 false elector criminal case in Arizona — until officials tracked him down at his 80th birthday party.
CNN reported Giuliani was celebrating the occasion in Palm Beach, Florida, on Friday when he was served the papers. Prior to being handed the lawsuit, he made a post on X, formerly Twitter, mocking Arizona authorities for failing to track him down.
“If Arizona authorities can’t find me by tomorrow morning: 1. They must dismiss the indictment; 2. They must concede they can’t count votes,” Giuliani posted in a since-deleted post on X (formerly Twitter), along with a selfie with party balloons visible in the background.

Former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani pleaded not guilty Tuesday to nine state felony charges for his alleged role in a scheme to falsely name former President Donald Trump the winner of Arizona in 2020, multiple outlets report, the latest legal trouble for the former New York City mayor—after Arizona officials struggled to serve him a court summons.
KEY FACTS
Giuliani, most famous for serving as mayor of New York City from 1994 through 2001, was indicted by an Arizona grand jury in April for fraud, forgery, and conspiracy in connection with a scheme to name 11 fake pro-Trump electors in Arizona, even though President Joe Biden won the state.Giuliani was indicted alongside 18 other people for the scheme, including former Arizona GOP chair Kelli Ward, who pleaded not guilty earlier Tuesday.
The former mayor was finally served the subpoena on Friday night—at a lavish surprise party celebrating his 80th birthday in Palm Beach, -
Rudy Giuliani’s bankruptcy creditors accused the former New York City mayor of paying his girlfriend and her daughter rather than those who are owed money.
Giuliani filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in December after a defamation case left him owing nearly $148m to two Georgia election workers. Lawyers for the Committee of Unsecured Creditors - basically those Giuliani owes money - are pleading with the court to appoint a trustee — a move that the former mayor objects to.

I’m no bankruptcy expert but Giuliani’s lawyers seem to have the better argument.

New York judge throws out Rudy Giuliani’s bankruptcy case
A federal judge in New York on Friday threw out Rudy Giuliani’s bankruptcy case, paving the way for a litany of creditors, including two former Georgia election workers who won a $148 million defamation claim against him, to pursue and potentially seize his assets.
The decision by U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Sean Lane in the Southern District of New York comes almost seven months after Giuliani sought bankruptcy protection after he was ordered to immediately pay millions in damages to Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, two Georgia women he falsely accused of helping to steal the 2020 presidential election.
In his 22-page order, Lane cited Giuliani’s “continued failure to meet his reporting obligations and provide the financial transparency required of a debtor in possession” and called his behavior “troubling.” It restricts Giuliani from seeking bankruptcy protection for one year.
Ted Goodman, a spokesman for Giuliani, called the decision “yet another example of the effort to punish” Giuliani. “We will continue to pursue justice and we are confident that — in the long run — our system of justice will be restored and the mayor will be totally vindicated,” he said in an email.
Lane’s written ruling came amid claims by Giuliani’s creditors that the former New York mayor and personal lawyer to former president Donald Trump had used the proceedings to hide details about his assets and avoid paying the former election workers.
Friday’s order would allow Freeman and Moss and other creditors to pursue legal remedies to collect money owed to them by Giuliani. It also allows other pending lawsuits against the former mayor that had been frozen by the bankruptcy proceeding to resume, including defamation suits by the voting machine companies Dominion Voting Systems and Smartmatic and a sexual harassment and wage theft claim by former Giuliani associate Nicole Dunphy.
All are part of a committee of “unsecured creditors” that had sought relief in the bankruptcy case.
A committee of other Giuliani creditors had pressed for the bankruptcy case to continue and for a trustee to be appointed to oversee Giuliani’s finances. They argued it would be the only way to get a full and accurate picture of Giuliani’s cash and assets after months in which the former mayor filed inconsistent and incomplete financial statements and failed to turn over financial information about his businesses and other holdings.
But in his Friday ruling, Lane rejected that proposal, saying there was “little reason to conclude” that Giuliani’s “uncooperative conduct will change” even with the appointment of an outside trustee.
“Mr. Giuliani has failed to provide an accurate and complete picture of his financial affairs in the six months that this case has been pending,” the judge wrote. “Transparency into Mr. Giuliani’s finances has proven to be an elusive goal.”

Maybe he could give them some of his dignity and respect. Oh wait….

If it was about dignity he'd have been declared bankrupt.
