Corzine began to put together an investment group to buy Long-Term Capital Management, the hedge fund that had famously crashed in 1998, almost taking the world financial system with it.

Long-Term Capital Management----the Enron if its day.

What a load of old cobblers. I happen to know some people who worked in Goldman Sachs during his time there and he was infamous for his greed. He is the worst sort of person - he made his fortune, now he wants to deny that chance to everyone else.

"Now his road leads ever deeper through the swamp of New Jersey politics. "

Yep, and Corzine is the swamp monster! If this guy were to get elected, all New Jerseyians better hold on to their wallets! Myself included!

Say, didn't he used to work at Goldman Sachs or something?

I read the whole thing yesterday.

What I found amazing was the total absence of any sense of public duty. It's all about what HE wants to do, what would be a good career step, how to get back on his feet after the GS debacle. All personal, no sense of serving the country or state.

CORZINE - the bad medicine from New Jersey. He got into politics and campaigned with his wife and family - where are they now or did they stand in the way of his goal?

He along with Lousenberg mutely stood by as Senator Dickhead Turbin expressed the Democrap view of the U.S. Military.

He is an absolute disgrace and will probably follow his idol, Jim McGreedy into the NJ governor's office!

"Afterward, Corzine rolled down Route 1, navy pin-striped jacket off, toward his next stop, the Islamic Society of Central Jersey, where he delivered a talk about genocide in Sudan. During the Q&A, one man got up and said, “We are all human beings. All of us together, as people. I am a Muslim, you are Jewish . . . ” Corzine’s neck and face turned red, but he let the man finish talking.

Jewish, Methodist, whatever, you're all Kuffir, infidels.
