Rudy The Lion Tamer
Have people seen this? (Unfortunately, the video's in a proprietary format so i can't embed, but believe me, you'll want to go over and see it.)
It's a clip from the movie Giuliani Time, showing a 2000 "parody" video from a press roast with Rudy acting as, no joke, an AFRICAN TRIBESMAN admonishing a Bronx Zoo lion for being lazy and on welfare. When he tells the zookeeper to release the lion and "send him to a job center" and the zookeeper resists, he goes after the guy with his spear.
So, Rudy is a) comparing welfare recipients to animals, b) dressed up in blackface (or at least war paint) a la Al Jolson, and c) threatening to kill anyone who doesn't agree with him.
It's a trifecta. Wow.
