These shows are for the Mayor of NYC and other pols to perform FUNNY skits in, to raise a LOT of money for charity! They've been held for many generations and are very "innocent" things, wherein people make fun of themselves by performing silly skits!
Chicago has a similar charity variety show, which stars prominent lawyers and pols.
Outsiders are NOT allowed in, unless someone "inside" buys them a ticket.
Each year there is a different theme.
Rudy was NEVER a transvestite, nor an homosexual!
Though Bloomy IS a damned nannystater, it is just as bad to use this skit against him, as it was for many here and non-Freeprs as well, as it was for them to do what they did to Rudy!
AND I LOATHE BLOOMY AS MUCH, IF NOT MORE, THAN ANYONE OTHER RABID ANTI-BLOOMY PERSON ALIVE OR DEAD.
I’ll give him a pass on context.
