Venezuelan oil giant Citgo has paid between $100,000 and $200,000 to Rudy Giuliani’s law firm so the opera-loving Manhattan dandy can plot against America’s freedoms.Hugo Chavez runs Citgo; it’s where he gets all that money to “help the poor” or whatever.

“Mayor Giuliani believes Hugo Chavez is not a friend of the United States, and his influence continues to grow because of our increasing reliance on foreign sources of oil,” Rudy’s campaign announced in a confusing statement that makes no sense. Go Rudy!
