If Rudy Giuliani has any desire to convince the world he’s not actually a total creep after that Borat 2 scene in which he appears to stick his hand down his pants in front of a female journalist in a hotel room, he’s not doing a great job.

Trump’s disgraced former lawyer stopped by Steve Bannon’s podcast last week to talk about the death of raging bigot and conservative icon Rush Limbaugh. During that time, he recounted a time when he and Limbaugh were golfing and the radio host believed the paparazzi was trailing them.

“‘I know you’re famous, but damn, can’t you tell them to stay away?’” he says Limbaugh told him at the time.
But in reality, the paparazzi were there to photograph pro-golfer, Michelle Wie.
“Now Michelle Wie is gorgeous,” Giuliani said. “She’s six feet. And she has a strange putting stance. She bends all the way over. And her panties show. And the press was going crazy. They were following her all around because they were trying to take pictures of her panties.”
Jumping to the conclusion that everyone else is as pervy as he clearly is and that the paparazzi were interested in getting photos of a professional golfer’s underwear rather than simply her doing the thing everyone knows her for is just genuinely no help to Giuliani’s rapidly disintegrating reputation.

Wie caught wind of the comments and took a moment to cut down the completely unnecessary story.
“It’s unsettling to hear of this highly inappropriate story shared on a podcast by a public figure referencing my ‘panties’ whilst playing in a charity pro-am,” she wrote on Twitter, not specifically naming Giuliani. “What this person should have remembered from that day was the fact that I shot 64 and beat every male golfer in the field leading our team to victory.”
She added that she “shudder[s] thinking that he was smiling to my face and complimenting me on my game while objectifying me and referencing my ‘panties’ behind my back all day.”

That Giuliani not only remembers this from six years earlier when he can’t even get Limbaugh’s name right — he calls him Roger at one point during the story — says a lot about his state of mind, as does the fact that he thought this was an appropriate and even cute story to tell publicly at all.
Rudy Giuliani once again demonstrates he is a sex pest: “She [Michelle Wie] has a strange putting stance, she bends all the way over and her panties show,” he told Bannon in a podcast.
Puts Borat on-set behaviour back in spotlight.

Sounds like Borat 2 may have been on to something when it comes to Giuliani, after all.
