TAMPA, Fla. -- Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani on Sunday defended his law firm's role in representing Citgo Petroleum Corp., which is ultimately controlled by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, saying it was helping protect American jobs.

Giuliani said his opponents will try to exploit the news and acknowledged a lawyer with Bracewell & Giuliani of Houston has been representing Citgo before the Texas legislature. snip

''Oh, they'll exploit everything,'' Giuliani said in an interview. ''It was one of those political attacks where you have nothing to do with it, you're not involved in it and so it doesn't really worry you very much. What they're doing is lawful and honorable and helping to protect jobs for more than 100,000 Americans.''

1. That's a pretty cavalier attitude

The Republican Base is already pretty suspicious of Giuliani; I'm guessing they are going to expect a better answer than this.
