for a thing he used to do, that he was really good at. i mean they went la cosa nostra when he was there but as good as shaq was, i can win a game tonight and if you put him on the court, it wouldn t work very well because it s been a long time. he s out of shape, he s lost it. frankly at his prime, giuliani was never as good as shaq was at his game. one of the concerns about giuliani is, you know, now he s so mad about how the police and prosecutors are so powerful, he never had that concern when the nypd was wild against african-american and latino young men. you would say he was more in his prime then than now litigationwise? yeah, yeah. as you know, their go-to lawyers in a case like this, there are a hundred lawyers in d.c. who specialize in these kind of
