He dumped the shares shortly before the firm tanked, then failed to report his activity to the Securities and Exchange Commission for months.

I looked, but I didn't see anything in this hateful man's article that demanded an investigation of Terry McAulliff's killing on a sinking Global Crossings, nor of Hillary's windfall investing in cattle futures. At least Bush's divestment was investigated by the SEC.

If I posted this I would have been accused of having an "agenda". hehehe.

It is a shame we can't vote for someone like Bob Dylan or Whoopie Goldberg instead.

When will we voters ever be offered a choice?!?!

I don't expect Ashcroft, Tauzin or Pitt to call for criminal indictments of anybody. The good ole boy network takes care of it's own. Pass a few more laws that will be circumvented before the inks dry, we got mid term elections coming up it's got to look like he's doing something.
And they expect us to buy stock,lol

The hapless Shrub took shelter...

That phrase negated any possible credibility the article might have had, although it had no credibility without it.

Why do supposedly intelligent authors insist on putting "I am an idiot" tags in their articles?
(I know, rhetorical...)

FYI, the Village Voice is a subsidiary of the Tribune Co., one of the outlets we cannot post full articles from anymore. I'm 99% sure I saw it on the list.

I'm attempting to double check now. Admin, is there a quick link to this list?

Thanks to this little spew from Ridgway, the words "venomous", "vituperative", "vile" and "viper" keep wanting to roll off my toungue. Whatta maroon.

I'm thinking it's time to ignore all the flat-earthers like him.

[Paulus Invictus]

Why is this RAT propaganda posted here? We seem to see more and more of this trash posted on FR. The Village Voice is the prime leftist trash medium in the US, not to mention being a mirror of the immoral, drug infested, crime-ridden area they reside in--NYC.

Ann Coulter, call your office!!

This guy is a walking advertisement for her book.

This is old. Been around pre- election. It has totally been torn down, item by item and you can find it on the net if you look.

Really, i expected better from you, dead. What happened?

The problem for Bush is how to seem to be attacking corporate scoundrels while keeping their campaign contributions coming.

Riiiight. This is gonna be SUCH a big problem. First of all, how many corporate scandals have truly come out thus far, about six or seven? That leaves only, oh, at least several hundred thousand other companies out there that have been completely untouched by any of this. They'll keep on donating happily. Those donations, especially in off-years like this one, usually aren't about ideology or quid pro quo (well, they're NEVER about quid pro quo unless you're, say, a Democrat), but purely out of hopes that it'll get them some access. No matter what happens in November, Bush will still be president for at least two more years afterwards, and they fear alienating the party in the White House. Ridgeway's an idiot.

If Bush really wanted to address the situation, all he'd have to do is to pick up the phone, call Attorney General John Ashcroft, and ask him to launch an investigation of any one of these CEOs for fraud, conspiracy, theft, obstruction of justice, or perjury. The president could also turn to the Securities and Exchange Commission, which can refer a civil case for criminal prosecution. Bush doesn't need additional legislation to do this. All he has to do is call.

Uh huh. And if he did do any of this, how long would it take for Dashole, Gephardt and the James Ridgeways of the world to start screeching like a bunch of poodles with their tails being stepped on, claiming that Bush is abusing the powers of his office by issuing orders J. Edgar Hoover-style in an attempt to "get" and "destroy" people he doesn't like? And what about all those thousands of poor innocent employees that might be out of jobs if Big Evil Bush crushes these corporations?

This is nothing but BS rhetoric, standard-issue Bush-hate with no substance whatsoever. Which, of course, is why it's appearing in the Village Voice, where it will be completely ignored by anyone but the hardest of the hardcore leftist ideologues that wouldn't vote for Bush or any Republican even if the Democrats suddenly started trying to reinstitute slavery.

[Timesink]

By the way, if Bush is a "failed corporate crook," doesn't that mean he's not a crook?

[MoJo2001]

Where is the barf alert??

Do you and bvw enjoy disrupting or do you just hate America (or maybe it's just conservatives you dislike)?

[Slingshot]

George WWWWWWW is not the 'nitwit'.

Sounds to me that this man is related to another democrat 'nitwit' called Carville.

This idiot apparently doesn't understand the oil business. Think dry holes.

In about 1988 I invested a pile of money in an oil exploration partnership. It didn't pan out. I lost a bundle. Lots of folks do.

[ladyinred]

The RATS investigated this every which way during the election trying to find something to pin on Bush, and they didn't find squat!
This is more lies and inuendos that they are so famous for. They can get headlines printed, and that is all some people read thus they are fooled into believing a pack of lies.
I have never been so disgusted with my former political party. They are by far the worst bunch of scum I can imagine besides the terrorists. Anyone remember them?
