I Can't Believe There Isn't A Movie About Rudy Giuliani

His career is a script waiting to be galvanized into film.

From MSNBC:

MIKA BRZEZINSKI, anchor:

The heads of the five family reportedly once came close to ordering a hit on their nemesis Rudy Giuliani. It allegedly happened in the 1980s when Giuliani was a U.S attorney making a name for himself by taking down some key mafia leaders. The mob leaders debated assassinating Giuliani but eventually decided against it by a three-two vote. All righty. The so-called Teflon Don Jon Gotti was reportedly in the minority voting to whack Rudy, alright I can’t believe we are saying this but this is apparently true, our very own Joe Scarborough is here with us. You know, it sounds like a scene from the Godfather. What do you make of this?

JOE SCARBOROUGH, reporting:
I think it is just absolutely, positively manna from heaven, for Rudy Giuliani. The fact that the mob bosses of New York got together Sopranos style and voted three to two not to take out Rudy Giuliani shows what a great crime fighter that he was in New York and that is certainly what the Giuliani campaign team will be saying. We’ve been joking about Rudy Giuliani talking about September 11th too much. What this does is brings back an element of Giuliani’s career that we don’t talk about on this show or other shows. It’s how he got it started here in New York City and that is as a tough as nails crime fighter. So now you are going to have this part of the campaign and so now he is going to be able to talk about himself as a crime fighter, as well as talking about himself as a leader on September 11th, as well as talking about Mayor Giuliani, the mayor that cleaned up New York City. This really is great news for Giuliani.

He then proceeded to clean up New York City.

From AmericanMafia.com:

"...During that time Giuliani was racking up one of the most impressive records in history as U. S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. Giuliani utilized the racketeering statutes passed by Congress in 1970 to begin the systematic dismantling of the five New York Mafia families. Two such prosecutions by Giuliani were the “Commission Trial,” in which the Godfathers of all five families were indicted, and the “Pizza Connection” heroin trafficking case..."

Law enforcement would soon discover that the Cali cartel operated much differently than the Italian Mafia. While the traditional Mafia operated by certain ‘rules,’ including edicts that members of law enforcement and the Media were not to be harmed, the Cali cartel had no such qualms about attacking a cop or a journalist. Manuel de Dios, who had taken on the Cali cartel in his writings at the newspaper El Diario, and other venues, was murdered by the cartel at a New York restaurant in 1992. Edward Byrne, a rookie cop, was assassinated in his patrol car in 1988 as he guarded a witness against the new drug gangs that terrorized New York. The new ethnic drug dealers also resorted to tactics such as falsely accusing cops of civil rights abuses, Police Officers Louis Delli-Pizzi and Michael O’Keefe being just two examples.

The events of October 18, 1988 would stun New Yorkers and have an enormous impact on the career paths of both Giuliani and Kerik. On that fateful day, in two separate, unrelated events, drug dealers in Manhattan murdered two New York City Police Officers, Christopher Hoban and Michael Buczek. Michael Buczek was just 24 years old when he was gunned down by three drug dealers in Washington Heights. Bernard Kerik was then a young Police Officer working the streets against the drug dealers who had taken over the neighborhoods. The three men who murdered Officer Buczek then fled back to their native Dominican Republic, which did not have an extradition treaty with the United States. Kerik vowed to Buczek’s distraught father that whatever it took he would dedicate his life to bringing the killers of Officer Buczek to Justice.
    
By the next year, the residents of New York were so fed up with the unprecedented crime wave that they were ready to vote into office a tough Prosecutor who promised to clean up New York. That man was Rudy Giuliani, who had already proven himself as an effective prosecutor against the Mafia. This did not escape the Cali drug cartel nor the Italian Mafia, and both were able to affect massive voter fraud in the election of 1989 that stole the election away from Giuliani. An additional 8,000 people would be murdered in New York City during the next four years.

This is crazy shit. Scorsese, what the hell you waiting for?
 
I swear, I'd write the fricken script it's that entertaining.
