TAMPA, Fla. -- Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani on Sunday
defended his law firm's role in representing Citgo Petroleum Corp., which is
ultimately controlled by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, saying it was
helping protect American jobs.

Giuliani acknowledged though, that his opponents will try to exploit the
news that a lawyer with Bracewell & Giuliani of Houston has been
representing Citgo before the Texas legislature.

"Oh, they'll exploit everything," Giuliani said in an interview. "There are
things that make sense and things that don't make sense and that
doesn't make any sense. It was one of those political attacks where
you have nothing to do with it, you're not involved in it and so it doesn't
really worry you very much. What they're doing is lawful and honorable
and helping to protect jobs for more than 100,000 Americans."

He called Chavez dangerous and said the United States needs to use
concerns about him to build relations with Latin American countries.

2. Yeah, that's great rudy..tell that to the devil.

'Splain this, though..

"FIRE battalion chief Jim Riches brought up his son to be one of New York’s “bravest”, like him. The young Jim followed his father into the New York fire department and died at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.

What followed turned his heartbroken father into a relentless opponent of Rudy Giuliani, then mayor of New York. With other families of 9/11 victims, Riches has vowed to torpedo Giuliani’s prospects of winning the White House by attacking his greatest source of strength, his reputation as a hero that day.

“We’re going to follow him around the country,” said Riches. “We want all of America to know he is not the man he says he is.”

Helped by the firefighters’ union, Riches and his friends are preparing to “swiftboat” Giuliani, borrowing the tactics of the Vietnam veterans, under the title Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, who pierced the Democratic nominee John Kerry’s seemingly armour-plated credentials as a decorated war hero during the 2004 presidential campaign."
