TPM: Giuliani Laments Having Only 'Five Friends Left' After Failing To Hang Up On Reporter

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, who’s 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 Pataki’s forthcoming book, which recalls when he privately asked Giuliani to call off the city’s 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 … He’s an honorable guy. I can’t believe he would do that,” Giuliani said. “I just keep getting disappointed. I got about five friends left.”
