Despite Rudy Giuliani’s desperate attempts to distance himself from his ties to Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez yesterday, the truth is the Giuliani that Americans do not yet know is beholden to energy special interests. Not only has Giuliani profited from Chavez controlled Citgo Petroleum Company, but he also has showed incompetence when dealing with air quality standards following 9/11. In addition, according to the New York Times, Rudy Giuliani’s law firm, Bracewell & Giuliani, is the country’s “most aggressive” lobbyist for the oil, gas and energy industries and played a major role in lobbying the Bush Administration to roll back the Clean Air Act.
