The rumor mill in Alabama is that the #4 contributor to Dashcle, HealthSouth, is about to massively restate earnings due to accounting shenanigans.

The Dems are piling up quite a list of dubious companies for which they owe favors...

I'm telling you, this will get worse before it gets better. And everyone will realize that part of the reason the 90s seemed so utopian is because many of the dot coms and telecom wiz kids overstated earnings to falsely bumper an economy to benefit the Clinton Adminstration. The man ran on the economy. How do we know there wasn't a promise of 'hands off' shady accounting practices that would, one, falsely encourage the market, and two, bolster his ratings among the American public? Where is the accountability for Clinton's SEC?

It's the old, you scratch my back, I'll shave Hillary's syndrome...

If the GOP is smart, Bush signs whatever corporate accountability measure, and then the issue is, for the most part, a wash. A LOT of these folks were donors to the Dems, and I'd like to know who is buying those bonds from California...

Isn't HealthSouth an HMO? I wonder if any other HMO's have been cooking the books.
