Giuliani's son sues over being removed from golf team

This is a lawsuit that would be frivolous no matter who filed it. But when the plaintiff is the offspring of a right-wing politician who railed against alleged legal abuse by everyone else, it looks especially hypocritical.

Andrew Giuliani - the son of former New York City mayor and failed GOP presidential contender Rudolph Giuliani - is suing Duke University because he was removed from the golf team. The 198-page federal suit charges that the university's golf coach has sidetracked the younger Giuliani's chance of becoming a pro golfer.

All together now: One, two, three...AAAAAAAAAAWWWWW!!!!! Gee, it must be tough being the spoiled child of a Republican politician.

If 1,000,000 Americans die today, and 1% of them are in the top 1% richest Americans, the GOP's upper crust will try to sue God by claiming that the Almighty discriminated against them for being rich. That's how the GOP entitlement culture works.

If they're so worried about frivolous lawsuits, they should start with their own useless legal filings.

The fact is that Duke was cutting its golf roster by half. Andrew Giuliani happened to be among the school's least skilled golfers - ranking 12th out of 14. Despite what he thinks, he was not the victim of a grudge by the coach.

Are the 6 other golfers who got cut going to sue too?

Grow up, will ya, Andrew?

Andrew Giuliani has no idea of what life has been like for folks like you and me who weren't born into privilege.
