A man calling himself Rudy Giuliani astounded Marietta citizens yesterday by swooping down on the suburb and crashing a well-attended rally organized by supporters of presidential candidate Ron Paul.

Operating under the guise of a “campaign stop,” Giuliani took the The Good Doctor’s peaceful foot soldiers by surprise. While the followers of Paul’s dark horse campaign rallied in the park, Giuliani holed up with fellow Republicans Sen. Johnny Isakson and state House Speaker Glenn Richardson in the Brumby Chair Co., hoarding media that had surely intended to cover all things Ron. Supporters were aghast at how a guy who used to be the mayor of some city in the upper corner of the country could steal the media spotlight.

“I don’t know who this guy thinks he is,” said Marvin Finkelstein, a nonexistent ham radio enthusiast from Mableton, referring to Giuliani. “We wanted to visit the Square on a Sunday and rally up some supporters. Then ‘America’s Mayor’ — what does that mean, anyway — decides it’s time to check out rocking chairs. The gall!”

OK, so there was no Marvin Finkelstein, and it was really a Giuliani campaign stop that the Paul supporters crashed. But judging from the turnout, it was easy to get confused.
