Seems that St. Rudy of 9/11 and his magic lobbying'n'law firm, Giuliani Partners might have themselves a bit of a PR problem. See, Rudy! was a "consultant" for Purdue Pharma the company that made Oxycontin. Pretty much seems he was selected by Purdue for his expertise not in pharmaceuticals but in being "America's Mayor", that and being the only living person to make a living out of being able to use a noun, a verb and 9/11 twenty-four seven.

In western Virginia, far from the limelight, United States Attorney John L. Brownlee found himself on the telephone last year with a political and legal superstar, Rudolph W. Giuliani.

For years, Mr. Brownlee and his small team had been building a case that the maker of the painkiller OxyContin had misled the public when it claimed the drug was less prone to abuse than competing narcotics. The drug was believed to be a factor in hundreds of deaths involving its abuse.

As a celebrity, Mr. Giuliani helped the company win several public relations battles, playing a role in an effort by Purdue to persuade an influential Pennsylvania congressman, Curt Weldon, not to blame it for OxyContin abuse.
...
Dennis Lee, the Virginia state prosecutor for Tazewell County, an area hard hit by OxyContin abuse, said he was stunned several years ago to learn that Mr. Giuliani was working for Purdue. He had a favorable impression of Mr. Giuliani, he said, and a poor opinion of the company, which he said had played down and dissembled about its drug’s problem.

"I was shocked,” Mr. Lee said, “that he would basically become a mouthpiece for Purdue."
...
Asa Hutchinson , the director of the Drug Enforcement Administration in 2002, hardly needed an introduction to Mr. Giuliani. So it was perhaps not surprising that Purdue chose Mr. Giuliani as the person to meet with Mr. Hutchinson at a time when the drug maker was under intense scrutiny by the D.E.A.

A noun, a verb and 9/11 is not a qualifier for the presidency. An outstretched hand is even less of one.
