Apparently Hizzoner is now doing some consulting for a thirty-six-year-old ex-kickboxer boxing champion running to be mayor of Kiev. Apparently his primary role is to offer ideas about how Kiev can reduce the level of corruption in its municipal government.

This is pretty funny to me. No offense intended to Kiev, (kick)boxers, or 36-year-olds - what's more funny is relying for your advice about corruption on a guy with a fairly spotty ethics record himself. Elise has documented this quite well already, so I won't repeat that here. Suffice it to say that of all the American ex-mayors (and even ex-presidential candidates) who you could conceivably ask to give you advice about corruption, Giuliani should probably not be at the top of the list.

Or maybe he'll advise that the mayor of Kiev respond to corruption charges by saying, "My picture is on thousands of buses!"

Update: Corrected for details of the would-be mayor's current (not former!) boxing career. Thanks, David!
