I don't want to hear anything about GC until they widen the net to include that huckster Terry McAuliffe !!!

[Wright is right!]

In a thread yesterday about Tom Brokaw, someone said that they were willing to bet that Brokaw would never utter a single syllable about Global Crossing as long as he was doing the NBC Nightly Ooze.

Well, guess whuuuut? Tonight, they did a story about Global Double-Crossing, Brokaw likened it to Enron in some ways, then cut to Lisa Myers who did a number on Terry McAuliffe and his ability to turn mustard greens into $18M. Myers also said that it appeared that the only business Global was in consisted of making paper sham transactions for the enrichment of "its own people."

Does GE still use the slogan, "Where Progress Is Our Most Important Product?" (Note - if you have to ask why GE's slogan is relevant, you're disqualified.)

I'm right there with ya..But who are we kidding? It'll NEVER happen. It's becoming clearer and clearer that the higher up's simply keep watch over their own butts.

Let's Roll on the Global Crossing story. Make the demoRATS think twice about pushing the ENRON angle.Hey I am actually beginning to enjoy this. The buzzards are beginning to return just in time for the 2002 election cycle.

I want to hear it all, including how US Senator Christopher Dodd set it all up for Arthur Anderson to ruin the trust American investors have in independent audits by engaging in conflicts outlawed since the time I was born.

Democrats like him are destroying the delicate trust in the free market system BECAUSE we are the envy of the world. He and the socioenvirocrats want to bring us down to an EQUALITY OF MISERY with the 3rd whirled.

He fought, and fought and even arranged an override of BILL CLINTON'S VETO!!! (With Tauzin's Help) Herein lies the story that made Enron, Global Crossing and maybe now Qwest too, possible and the malicious mischeif of Commie Dodd lauched it all!

Hard to believe that Brokjaw covered any part of this. Hard indeed! Amazing, to say the least!!!

I keep hearing that GE was up to the same tricks as Enron. What's your best source for information about this?

[SierraWasp]

"Now, I'm not suggesting that there was any wrongdoing on Bush's part,"

Oh sure... That's exactly why you brought it up!!! You would have criticized Reagan for accepting more IN CASH from the Japanese for a speech right after he left office.

I know, you're cynical and want desperately to think that everybody's dirty and will ascribe evil motives to Barbara Bush, next chance you get, right?

I am very concerned about Cisco Systems....I am fearful that they do a bit of creative accounting, and, the CEO there mangles the truth.....I may want to sell.

[zarf]

get your ass out of high tech and find a good ol fashioned stock. these kiddie stocks look like a house of cards.

[lilylangtree]

Hot diggity dog! It's about time some focus be shifted to Global Crossing from the feds. Now how about some congressional hearings?

[SierraWasp]

"All roads lead to Arkansas."

These "high tech" CEO's liked and supported Clinton, Clinton & Gore because they recognized themselves in him. Someone who was so cynical and arrogant that they think "rules are for fools!"

[joyce11111]

Yeah, I have been putting off doing something about Cisco....tommorrow..:>)

Ok, that comment at the tail end of the San Franpsycho Comical was so vexatious and such unbelieveable editorializing that I must admit, I mistakenly thought it not a part of the article, but rather a comment added by you. I just couldn't believe it was part of the article when the writer called it "stinky!"

I'm sorry for jumpin on you, but it was stunning and confusing and so blatant, even for that Commie Rag!!!

[SierraWasp]

Was that a "NEWS" article? Or was it an editorial? Or was it an opinion column? You didn't post anything but the URL, so one cannot tell if it's journalism, or an opinion! Actually it looked more like a "Letter to the Editor!" (from Barbara Boxer)

I still don't understant why YOU thought it was relevant enough to inject in the discussion!
