Um, you are aware that G. H. W. Bush got $80,000 in Global Crossing stock (worth more than $14 million at the height of the bubble), aren't you?

Surely you aren't suggesting that he's in on the deal as well, are you?

Former President Bush received the stock in exchange for money as payment for a speech he gave. This is common knowledge because the liberal press reported this in EVERY article that was written about Global Crossing, even though no one was sure when he sold the stock or how much he received for it. But, hey, who needs facts when illusion is all that matters.
