December 11, 2020--Let Me Eat Cake

For once in his life Rudy Giuliani is telling the truth. About his recent hospitalization and treatment for COVID-19. 

While "average" people receiving treatment in tents set up in Walmart parking lots, Rudy was whisked past them into Georgetown University Hospital, placed in a private suite, and--most important--received the same cocktail of efficacious medications that were administered to Trump in early October when he was hospitalized briefly for allegedly having COVID.

After being discharged Rudy confessed that, "If it wasn't me, I wouldn't have been put in a hospital, frankly."

And he wouldn't have received potent antibody medication which is in very short supply. If he was lucky, if he had been in a "normal" hospital, and they had one, maybe he would have been placed on a ventilator.

This royal sense of entitlement reminded me of something from the 2016 campaign--the Billy Bush, Access Hollywood tape, where Trump was caught on an open mic, describing how to seduce women you begin by kissing them.

He spoke about how you don't have to wait, especially "when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab 'em by the . . . You can do anything!"

And you don't have to wait to get your hands on the best antibodies.
