Boston is only getting stronger.The 10th annual “A Leg Forever” charity golf tournament at Indian Ridge Country Club in Andover was a sellout Monday as 158 contestants pitched in $250 per player to help Boston Marathon bombing victims cope.“It’s humbling,” said Liz Norden, whose sons J.P. and Paul lost their right legs in the 2013 explosions at the finish line on Boylston Street.But that’s not what this August tournament is about.

It wasn’t a midnight train to Georgia that carried the 19 criminal defendants charged by a Fulton County grand jury to that county’s sheriff’s office to have their mug shots taken last week, but one by one they all made the humiliating trek to the local jail to post the bond needed to avoid sitting in prison until their trials and to have the photographs snapped that would memorialize their disgrace.Those dreadfully humbled included former president Donald Trump’s chief of staff, Mark Meadows, former Trump lawyers Sidney Powell, John Eastman, Ken Chesebro and Jenna Ellis, former Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark and Trump’s uber-consigliere Rudy Giuliani.Of that sorry band, no one has been humiliated more thoroughly than Giuliani, who has gone from being America’s Mayor in the aftermath of Sept. 11, 2001 to being a broke, broken and bankrupt laughingstock.
