WTF IS THE MATTER WITH CHRIS CILLIZZA?

He goes sticky wet over Giuliani's appearance on Meet the Press, "Giuliani's Virtuoso Performance," when a sober person might instead question Giuliani's sanity. Steve Benen at TPM was all over this appearance and provided this transcript of "Giggles" Giuliani:

RUSSERT: Why would you do business with someone who helped Khalid Sheikh Muhammad?
GIULIANI: (Laughter) [...]
RUSSERT: People are calling into question your judgment, they also cite that your law firm did work for Hugo Chavez, the head of Venezuela.
GIULIANI: (Laughter)
RUSSERT: They've now quit that, but they did represent Citgo, which is run by Hugo Chavez.
GIULIANI: (Struggling to speak through enthusiastic laughter) Tim, that's a stretch.
RUSSERT: It's not. One more and then I'm going to give you a chance on this. One more, a Las Vegas developer that you worked with who had a close relationship with a Hong Kong billionaire who was close with Kim Jung Il.
GIULIANI: (Laughter)
RUSSERT: These are all accusations being made, in a very serious way, about your business. In order to deal with all of this, why not say to the American people, "These are all my clients, this is who I work for, so you can know who I've been involved with and who might be trying to influence me if I ever became president."


Here's the video clip so you can judge for yourself (provided by Ben Craw at TPM):
