New York Times columnist Joe Nocera has a scathing attack on Jon Corzine, whose financial firm just declared bankruptcy. "The idea that Corzine, who single-handedly destroyed MF Global Holdings, was in a position to command so much as a penny in severance is horrifying...."
What caught my eye was one word that never appeared in Nocera's column. I'll give you a hint: it begins with (D). Also left out of Nocera's piece, Jon Corzine this election has given the maximum to the Democratic National Committee (and thus to Obama's reelection). But it's not Nocera that's omitting these relevant facts -- it's nearly the whole New York Times.
I found 10 articles on the Times website with the words "MF Global" since it announced bankruptcy yesterday. Some numbers:
Only 5 of 10 NYT articles mentioning MF Global mentioned Corzine Only 1 of 5 NYT articles mentioning MF Global & Corzine used the word "Democrat" 0 of 5 NYT articles mentioning MF Global & Corzine mentioned that he's $30,800 donor to Obama's DNC
Do you think the Times would omit these facts if a former Republican Senator and Governor and maximum RNC donor ran a huge financial firm into bankruptcy?
All we can do is continue to point it out and hope that the less-politically-inclined independents take notice and judge accordingly.
It's going to take a while to turn the ship around...
That ship will never leave dry dock as it’s overflowing with ‘rat presstitutes.

Wasn’t Corzine also a US Senator (D)?
Nocera had his head way up Obama’s Obama over Solyndra also.

Don, er, Jon Corzine is just another Bernie Madoff that has not yet been indicted.
And he is the quintessential political animal as well. With a seemingly universal capability - a reverse Midas touch, turning gold into, well, something base and inferior.
..."corzine, the reason a solid blue state went RED"
Just a thought - - - : Did Corzine con Obama into investing in the MF Global Holdings “Investment” in Greece with some kind of fancy Bernanke Bonds?
BTW, I understand that Obama is headed to Europe soon - - - .
BTW, BTW, maybe “The Chicago Method” can get Obama’s money back before the US Congress gives Obama any more money?
Yes! You're correct.
He gave up his Senate seat to run for Governor of New Jersey.
Not only all of this, but:

He’s been rent seeking Geithner’s job! Chutzpah! Put a fork in him, Bubba.
That upper pic could be used for a 2012 Republican advertisement, LOL.
