Anybody who thinks that Wachovia is going to actually cough up money for this has obviously never done business with Wachovia. A number of years ago I was stationed at Seymour Johnson AFB, NC, in the middle of Wachovia-land. We used to call Wachovia Walk-Over-Ya.
Talk is cheap. And they'll give you all of that you can stand. It is the thing that they do best. Getting actually money out of them? Ha! When pigs fly.
For that reason, I think this whole thing is some liberal idiot's wet dream, but no more than that. Even if Wachovia is headed up by a pandering idiot, which it is.
Well...I never thought Us tobacco companies would agree to give away their fortunes, but look what happened; they caved.
