What do you do when you’re campaigning in New Hampshire and you need to show people a list of people who are endorsing you for the party’s nomination? If you’re one Rudolph Giuliani, the answer is very simple, and amazingly easy — you just make it up!

The endorsement came as quite a surprise to many on the list. Some were surprised because they hadn’t yet made up their minds about which candidate they would be backing. Others were surprised because their names were misspelled.

When I was making my very first resume, my parents were very careful to mention to me that before you put down people’s names as references, you definitely want to call them first and just check to make sure they don’t mind vouching for you. It’s just a matter of courtesy. But then, Giuliani knows nothing about courtesy. This is a guy who married his cousin, then got that marriage annulled so he could marry a second time (we recovering Catholics call that a “do over”), and then eventually tried to move his mistress into Gracie Mansion while he was still married to his second wife.

What a guy!
