I've noticed that once Bush comes up with a plan, the I.Q. of his most ardent supporters goes down in direct proportion to the absurdity of the deal. Thanks for playing. Please don't forget to pick up your consolation prize on the way out.
Anyone who knows me here will tell you that I have far more negative than positive things to say about this administration.
The fact that this merger/acquisition has been public knowledge for at least three months (I believe it was originally announced in October or November of last year) without even so much as a minor comment expressing an ounce of concern from any of these elected officials seems to have been lost on a lot of people here.
It's not like the Arab company is even trying to be secretive about this thing. The name of the company acquiring P&O Ports is Dubai Ports World, for heaven's sake. If they really wanted to mute all of this opposition here in the U.S., they would have changed the company name to Real Admirals and @ss Pirates Shipping, Inc. Then they would have Chuck Schumer out there laying out the welcome mat for them.
