If Harken was a publicly-traded company than that was a really dumb question.

Bush's oil industry career is a history of being bailed out of money-losing ventures

Nice slam with no details. I'm not disputing the statement (I don't know the particulars), but to state it as a given is hardly responsible journalism.

The last line indicates that had Bush held onto the Harken shares for one more year, he would have more than doubled his profit. The guy is certainly damned by the press either way....

Democrats Pounce on Newest Bush Business Scandal

I thought Julian Bond, the NAACLP, NARAL, the ABA, and all the other liberal alphabet soup lunatics were concerned about governmental invasion of privacy? What law requires the disclosure of all buyers and sellers?

If there is such a law, I'd like to see all the market transactions by Jesse Jackson, Patricia Ireland, Robert Rubin, James Carville, Larry Flynt, Rosie O'Donnell, Barbara Streisand, and Tom Daschle placed through Solomon Barney Franks.

This can be a problem. If someone bought GWBush's shares in a sweatheart deal to bail him out. I believe Bush got in with the Texas Rangers right after he bailed from Harkin. So he needed cash?


I think there is one buyer and he is not identified. Harkin was a small company so I'm sure the buyer is known by some people.

Well, my secret's out...........I bought the Harken stock from Bush.................let's keep it just between us Freepers tho.
