Rudy Giuliani is accusing the Democrats of wanting a nanny government for the United States.
That’s rich, coming from the man who as mayor of New York tried to ban ferrets:
It’s always worth recapping Giuliani’s famous riposte to a ferret owner who called in to the mayor’s weekly radio show to protest the city’s ban on them as pets: "There is something deranged about you.… The excessive concern you have for ferrets is something you should examine with a therapist.… There is something really, really very sad about you.… This excessive concern with little weasels is a sickness.… You should go consult a psychologist.… Your compulsion about—your excessive concern with it is a sign that there is something wrong in your personality.… You have a sickness, and I know it’s hard for you to accept that.… You need help." [Vanity Fair]
Hizzoner even compared legalizing ferrets to legalizing tigers.
Someone should ask Giuliani whether he supports his Republican successor’s plan to ban unauthorized photo shoots in New York City.
