Kudos to Paul Krugman of The New York Times for finally forcing the rest of the mainstream press to notice the parallels between President Bush's checkered past in biznes (that's a Russian term for a world of government corruption, self-dealing, and friends in high places that we all ought to use more often) and the current wave of corporate crime. And huzzahs to the Center for Public Integrity, the D.C.-based, nonprofit, nonpartisan investigative outfit, which two years ago detailed Bush's business dealings -- including his Harken and Texas Rangers windfalls -- in its book, The Buying of the President 2000, and in further reporting by Knut Royce on its Web site (www. public-i.org). And of course, I can't help but claim a little credit for Harkening to Bush's past business practices in the column I did for TomPaine.com just after the State of the Union back in January. In that column, I noted: This written by Knut Royce ??
