Giuliani's Firm Lobbies Texas for Citgo

HOUSTON (AP) -- Rudy Giuliani's law firm has received $100,000 to $200,000 since 2005 to lobby Texas legislators on behalf of Citgo Petroleum Corp., a Houston-based oil company ultimately controlled by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.
...
"We're in the business of running a business," McCollum said. "And any big business in the state of Texas is going to be concerned about issues that come up in the state legislature that would impact their business ... As far as international politics, we leave that to the politicians."

Point this article out to Repugs and watch their heads explode.:rofl:

1. Rudy has about as much chance of being nominated as does McCain

His chances are slim and none, I don't care what the polls say. And this certainly doesn't help Rudy's case. The "base" will turn out in droves to keep Rudy or McCain out. Only problem is, there's no one that fits the nutcase RW base yet. It's still early but Fred Thompson, Brownback and the Newt (alien) are still in the wings.
