I wonder how much Kenny gets. I hope it's a lot.

[AlaskaErik]

I'm shocked, I tell you, just shocked!

[Sax]

Shocked at conviction ain't near as bad as Shocked after conviction.

Old Sparky isn't the most comfortable seat in the house.

[BenLurkin]

I'm still hoping Gray Davis will be charged with something.

You think if this guy were a member of the Kennedy clan, that he'd be convicted??

"They have excellent defense lawyers," Young said. "I think they performed extremely well. They tried a heck of a good case. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. That same quality is going to go into post-trial motions, advocacy motions.

Proof it's all a game to lawyers.

So when will Congresscritters face the music for running Socialist Security as a Ponzi scheme?

Social Security makes Enron look like change in a mayonnaise jar.

If I were one of the poor bastards whose 401k's and pensions were destroyed by these creeps, they would not live to see prison.

[Anti-Bubba182]

They will raise taxes, print money or whatever else they have to do to keep SS running and save their asses.

[68skylark]

I know feelings are running high in this case. Still, if anyone put all their 401(k) investments into any one company, they really have to accept a share of the responsibility for losses.

To be safe, no more than 3% to 5% of anyone's assets should be invested in any one company, especially if they also work for that company.

They got it..and the naysayers, who always relate
court proceedings to the OJ trial, can analyze and
digest this justice for a while...there are smart
and ordinary people who serve om juries and abide
by the evidence presented..the OJ trial did more to
show the bias that exists in this country, than any
other signle event. Jake

[soccer_maniac]

Why didn't they take them to jail right away?

[gleeaikin]

"Proof, it's all a game to the lawyers."

I doubt it's a game to the people who lost their pensions and/or life savings. They must be grimly happy.

[Obadiah]

That is a good point. Not to excuse the activity, but if you are stupid enough to put your whole retirement nest egg into one company - not one fund, one company - you have a huge degree of culpability, and you're a moron.

[Racer1]

Its good that he's shocked. The previous investors were too.

[blaquebyrd]

"..the OJ trial did more to show the bias that exists in this country, than any other signle event."

A little over the top don't you think. Can't believe you didn't notice the bias in the country until the OJ trail.

[theDentist]

"...we're shocked. This is not the outcome we expected."

Really? Then you're the only ones.

[lilylangtree]

Enron's over now it's time to start on a trial on Global Crossing and former DNC Terry McAuliffe's $18 million ill-gotten gains.

[SF Republican]

if you are stupid enough to put your whole retirement nest egg into one company - not one fund, one company - you have a huge degree of culpability, and you're a moron - worthy of a re re-peat.
