John McCluskey pleaded not guilty today to second-degree harassment charges for his Hamptons altercation with Rudy Giuliani this weekend, but did go ahead and sign an order of protection saying that he would leave Giuliani and wife Judith Nathan alone. McCluskey did not bring a lawyer to court today, telling reporters, "Why would I dignify this with a lawyer? I think it's so frivolous."

McCluskey might have to think about dignifying the incident with a lawyer pretty soon—he'll need one to show up in his place at the next court date in June. He told a judge that he won't be there since he's leaving the country to film a documentary.

Rudy Giuliani and wife Judi Nathan were enjoying the holiday weekend in the Hamptons yesterday when a publishing executive got in the face of the former mayor and gave him a little more than a piece of his mind. After stepping out of a Presbyterian church where he was attending an art fair, 69-year-old John McCluskey confronted the Giulianis on a Bridgehampton street, poked his finger in Rudy's chest and uttered a sentiment more than a few New Yorkers share, "You're the worst person in the world and I'm going to punch you out!"
