Sad!
Upon thinking that he hung up on a Daily News reporter Wednesday, Rudy Giuliani began complaining about former New York Gov. George Pataki and how he only has five friends left.
Giuliani, whos gained a reputation for butt-dialing journalists, was overheard by the Daily News reporter confessing to someone he called Tony. The reporter had asked Giuliani about Patakis forthcoming book, which recalls when he privately asked Giuliani to call off the citys 2001 mayoral election for the purpose of remaining in office in the wake of the 9/11 attacks.
After telling the reporter that there were people who wanted me to do it, he thought about it for two days, but I never asked him to do it.
Even if we would have had that conversation, it would have been privileged between a mayor and a governor Hes an honorable guy. I cant believe he would do that, Giuliani said. I just keep getting disappointed. I got about five friends left.

Quote from an NCIS-LA episode.
I think those Russian mobster "friends" qualify for than category.
