or now the Halliburton and Harken scandals, there is a dangerous intersection between politicians of all stripes, Democrat and Republican, attempting to feed at the trough of business greed.
This is typical flummery on Larry's part. "Now the Harken scandal"??? Larry is nothing but a leech and an opportunist.

I can remember being so proud that Klayman showed up at the March for Justice. My sister and I sat and watched the whole thing on C-SPAN.
Now I realize what a sucker I was.
I also think something changed during the campaign. I distinctly remember Klayman going after Bush because he wouldn't come to his "debate." (Nevermind that not many other candidates signed on, either.)
The attack on Laura Bush for the transition tea with Mrs. Clinton was the last straw.
This is over the top. In my wildest dreams I cannot imagine Dick Cheney doing anything unethical, and furthermore risking the administration's reputation by concealing it.
AND, what standing does Klayman have to sue, anyway? Does he own shares of Halliburton? When did he make the purchase?
To: looney tune
He keeps suing government & officials to keep the IRS off his tail - if he gets audited, he'll cry foul.You make an interesting point. Maybe he keeps suing in order to avoid complying with the audit that he has been delaying for 3 years now. Judicial Watch has been pleading the Fifth Amendment, but maybe he's lost confidence in that route.
Good catch!

I missed the attack on Laura Bush. What was that all about?
To: ned
I guess it wouldn't be fair to complete the IRS audit of Judicial Watch now, would it?
LOL.... I think you can make a case that the 'eww' should sue his own firm in fairness to complete the audit since he is the watchdog of gov't corruption. After all 'JW' is a 501c3 tax exempt orginzation, working through rules of the IRS, a government entity, thus we need to be sure beyond reproach that he is complying. The donors get a tax break, so in effect he's using gov't tax money, our money.

Too late, he's been served the audit notice. Larry, "Because no one is above the law", apparantly thinks he's "Above the law".
How conveeeeenient....

Notice not one mention of specifics when JW talks about accounting improprieties.Geez, you'd think he would have hired a forensic accountant to examine both the financials reported to the IRS and those to the SEC before sending out the fax.And if there was trouble, it no doubt would have leaked to the WSJ first, would it not?
Now Cheney, being the ex-CEO of HAL, probably is indemnified against suits as part of his compensation and severance deal, no doubt.Otherwise, no businessman leaving a Fortune 500 compnay would dare serve in the Cabinet if he was going to be sued over every bogus charge from an ambulance chaser.Or cranky shareholder, or partisan hack attorney working for the opposition ;-)

Oh, and that audit was served 3 years ago, he's been stalling ever since.
Any bets that you or I could avoid an audit for 3 years?
Riiiiiiight....

Why don't we get together and sue him to force him to submit to the audit. We can turn the tables on him & put out our own press release.

This book cooking is not new. In 1972 (give or take a yr) there was a company called Four Seasons Nursing Homes, Inc. I was invested in their stock. To make a long story short, I asked my hubby to sell, he did, nothing bad happened he bought back in on top.
Not too long thereafter trading was suspended and stock was worthless. CPA's were cooking the books. I lost everything and had to sell everything else to survive. I lost a LOT of money! To say nothing of my home and my marriage.
The owner of the Company and his accountants went to jail for a few years, the VP killed himself. Merrill Lynch took a hit. I survived, and prospered again. I figured gone is gone. I can't cry it back. So get up and get on.
My point is that lots of people have been financially hurt over the years, but this is different because it is so wide spread, or appears to be. All the CEO's are big Political Contributors and to a man Liberal Democrats who started up these companies under Clintons's administration and were pretty chummy with him and McAuliff....like to know about 18 million $$$$ McAuliff made on inside information, although, like Hillary we are to believe it was his financial savvy that made him the big bucks on his $100,000.00 initial investment and over such a short period of time too. Don't suppose Clinton put in a good word for him, do you?
To: looney tune
Klayman issued a press release saying that because Laura Bush had the transition tea at the White House with Hillary Clinton she was showing that she was corrupt. Only JW could save us. He said it was like "Tea With Mussolini."
I do not know when I have been so mad. It's a good thing I don't live in DC or I might have been arrested.

Pasted by your sign a few days ago but by then it had been changed to something about bonzia plants on the West side and 4th of July fire works on the East side......

Great idea. I think ned's already working on this. ;-)
Seriously, I wish I knew a good lawyer that wouldn't charge an arm and a leg to do this.

At this point.. (and I really will take it all back if he's right about this.) I think he's just been paid off.
They can't make anything stick to the Bush administration thus far, and November looms. The Senate hangs in the balance.
If we get it, we might get the SC also.. if nothing else we will be able to legslate pretty much at will.
You know that's got to scare them senseless.
Any group that would poision a dog to protest animal cruelty doesn't care how they win. So long as they do.

I suspect that this will be some sort of class action in which he just needs the consent one shareholder to initiate the action. I wonder who that one shareholder might be????
