Rudy Giuliani, former New York City mayor and man who may or may not seek the GOP nomination for president, paid a visit to Late Night to discuss New York’s bad ol’ days, when men were men, and other men were junkies, and Giuliani bought crack. Needle skip! Huh?

Giuliani, you see, is hosting AMC’s “Mob Week,” which makes (some) sense given his past prosecuting members of the mafia. Host Jimmy Fallon, fascinated by Giuliani’s anecdotes, asked if he ever had to don a disguise or participate in a stakeout as part of his job. Why yes, replied Giuliani:

Yeah, I wore a disguise. I bought crack in 1986, undercover with a DEA agent, a female DEA agent…

This was done at the instance of the head of the DEA in New York by myself, Senator D’Amato and the head of the parole board to show how prevalent crack had become. I drove up to Washington Heights, I had a female DEA agent, who was theoretically my “date,” and we went up and we purchased crack in Washington Heights.

Just a day in the life, kiddos.

Have a look at the interview, from NBC:

Too bad Fallon didn’t have Marion Barry on, so the mayors could compare crack-buying in DC versus NY.

This explains a great deal.

What a headline for Mediaite. It should read ”Rudy Giuliani Reveals to Jimmy Fallon That He Bought Crack In 1986 To Aid The DEA During A Drug Sting.”

There I fixed it.

Fallon is an idiot. And Guiliani is an insect.

I don’t care for these LATE NIGHT shows, but I did watch Jimmy Fallon lastnight. Rudy Guiliani was on and it was a real pleasure to lis ten to him talk about his PAST… with the *Mob* and Prison sentencing and then came *911*… Fallon was proud to have him on his show, and you could SEE it by his actions. This show was one of the best, that I have seen Fallon have. I never cared for Conan’s show at all, but Fallon has a pretty good start.

Or the current occupant of the WH:
For one thing, he said, “When I was a kid, I inhaled.” “That was the point,” Obama told an audience of magazine editors.

Obama had written in his first book, “Dreams From My Father” (1995), before entering politics, that he had used marijuana and cocaine (“maybe a little blow”). He said he had not tried heroin because he did not like the pusher who was trying to sell it to him. (But, had he liked the pusher… and did he find one he likes?)

“It was reflective of the struggles and confusion of a teenage boy,” he said. “Teenage boys are frequently confused.”

Do we know if he doesn’t have flashbacks? And the man-child president is out of his pay grade too struggling with his confusion still.

Newsflash: all media outlets use misleading headlines to attract views/listeners/readers. Marketing 101.

The big question is did Rudy make it back to DEA headquarters with all the crack he bought? Maybe a little accidentally ended up in his pocket.

Newsflash, it’s dishonest. Truth 101.
