He is complicit in the knowledge that this drug was highly addictible and that board (including Rudy) agreed to keep this information from the public; in fact, they made a point of saying that it was not addicting at all. Guiliani will be worse than bush - he's a lying hypocrite - and we've seen that already. Factor in his corrupt complicity with his friend, underworld's Kerick, and his firm's help in creating Kerick's bogus application for Homeland security chief and you've got a prescription for disaster which will top that of George Bush.

Most of them have nothing truthful to say so they play the "empty rhetoric game" which is getting them no where with the people. I love the way none of them align themselves with Bush but, instead, attempt to cannonize their hero, Ronald Reagan. It reminds me of an Abbott and Costells routine actually. They're all wasting their time, energy, and money on running for President because the level of corruption in their party has eliminated ANY of them from gaining access to the white house. In fact, I would predict (with assurity) that no Republican will have an ice cube's chance in hell of being elected to any office in this country for a very long time.
