Another Scandal Exposing Giuliani's Corruption and Conflicts of Interest -
Keith Olbermann talked with The Huffington Post's Arianna Huffington on
Thursday's Countdown about the latest in a string of scandals surrounding
Rudy Giuliani. Apparently, Rudy's law firm made millions of dollars,
possibly illegally, lobbying on behalf of a software company that developed
data mining programs that kept huge databases on millions of Americans,
getting the company's owners in front of Vice President Cheney, the FBI and
other high ranking White House officials just one month after being hired.
The meetings led to millions of dollars in federal and state contracts for
Giuliani's client, but after privacy concerns were raised, the contracts
were all dropped - but not before the company could be sold for huge money -
and thanks to stock options in the contract, Rudy's firm pocketed millions
of dollars, which is ILLEGAL. If any of you wondered if Rudy Giuliani would
continue President Bush's intrusive and illegal spying programs, you now
have your answer. Rudy's already a big player in the game.

What more could one expect of a true fascist?
" - FREEDOM IS NOT A CONCEPT IN WHICH PEOPLE CAN DO ANYTHING
THEY WANT, BE ANYTHING THEY CAN BE. FREEDOM IS ABOUT AUTHORITY.
FREEDOM IS ABOUT THE WILLINGNESS OF EVERY SINGLE HUMAN BEING
TO CEDE TO LAWFUL AUTHORITY A GREAT DEAL OF DISCRETION ABOUT
WHAT YOU DO AND HOW YOU DO IT."
- Mayor Giuliani, quoted in the New York Times, March 17, 1994.
