How much do they charge him for making copies?
Speaking of Rudy Giuliani, it looks as if his recent association with Houston-based Bracewell & Giuliani is making for some rather interesting associations:
Rudolph W. Giuliani’s law firm has lobbied for years on behalf of an oil company controlled by the Venezuelan president, Hugo Chávez, a strident critic of President Bush and American-style capitalism.Bracewell & Giuliani, the firm based in Houston that Mr. Giuliani joined as a name partner two years ago, handles lobbying in the Texas capital for the Citgo Petroleum Corporation of Houston. Citgo is the American subsidiary of Petróleos de Venezuela, the state-owned oil company that Mr. Chávez controls.
This is really a mountain of a molehill as Giuliani doesn't have anything to do with the small amount of business that his law firm does on behalf of Chavez and Citgo. But then again, it doesn't seem all that unfair for folks to trump up charges of hypocrisy against Candidate Giuliani.
