Rudy Giuliani's 'crass opportunism' reflects on Mac: Dems


By David Saltonstall / New York Daily News


Rudy Giuliani is positioning his law firm to cash in on Wall Street's train wreck - a move that has become a gift to political enemies of his pal John McCain.

Even as the nation's $700 billion, taxpayer-funded Wall Street bailout was still being hashed out, the former mayor announced Thursday his high-powered law firm has set up a task force.

Its mission: to help corporate clients get a piece of the action - or keep the federal wolves from the door.

"Our team of former government officials and experienced attorneys in the fields of legislation, enforcement and finance are equipped to guide institutions in this quickly evolving and complex environment," Giuliani noted in a press release from his law firm, Bracewell & Giuliani.

Giuliani is not the only one poised to profit from opportunities created by the mega-meltdown, but he is the most politically famous.

1. Show me a neoCON and I'll show you a leach that would steal the
pennies off of a dead man's eyes, or the candy from a baby, or the Social Security check from his own mother.

Rudy is one sorry piece of shit. Look how he used the memory of dead from the twin towers for a campaign tool. It almost makes me puke to see that ugly face of his on my TV. If McCain wins he'll find a spot for Rudy in Washington.
