SF GateTell me again why we should get all worked up over the revelation of the New York governor having paid for sex? Will it bring back to life the eight U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq that same day in a war that makes no sense and has cost this nation trillions of dollars in future debt? Will it save those millions of homes that hardworking folks across the country are losing because of financial industry shenanigans that Eliot Spitzer, as much as anyone, attempted to halt? Perhaps it provides some insight into why oil has risen to $108 a barrel, benefiting most of all the oil sheikhs who our taxpayer-supported military has kept in power? ...
The sad truth is that reporting on major corruption, say the rationalizations of a president who has authorized torture, doesn't cut it as a marketing bonanza. Just days before this grand expose, President Bush vetoed a bill banning torture, and instead of horrified disgust, the president's deep denigration of this nation's presumed ideals was met with a vast public yawn. Torture, unlike paid sex, doesn't have legs as a news story ...
I wouldn't have written this column had I not read the Wall Street Journal page-one news story headlined "Wall Street Cheers as its Nemesis Plunges into Crisis." The article starts out with the crowing statement that "It's Schadenfreude time on Wall Street," and then goes on to quote those whom Spitzer went after over what should be considered the criminal greed that has predominated in the financial world. It was Spitzer, as much as anyone, who sounded the alarm on the subprime mortgage crisis, the obscene payouts to CEOs who defrauded their shareholders and the other financial scandals that have brought the U.S. economy to its knees.
The best rule of thumb these days is that ordinary Americans should be mightily depressed over any news that Wall Street hustlers cheer, for they have been exposed as a dangerous pack of scoundrels, quite willing to rob decent hardworking people of their homes. And of course, no one on Wall Street ever paid for sex.
Stay away from hookers if you plan on being critical of Wall Street.
Dan, where was that article in the Larry Craig threads?
Are you seriously comparing a guy who employs expensive hookers to a guy who gives blow jobs to male strangers under bathroom stalls?

And now the Feds and JP Morgan are bailing out Bear Stearns, well-known to have been one of the most aggressive actors in the sub-prime market. Ex-employess are saying BS was totally corrupt.
BS, while making $Bs from the bubble, they played the bubble badly and lost, just em, let them go bankrupt.
Free market? self-correcting? don't need regulations? invisible hand? GMAFB
Aggie, wait for the bombing of Iran, it's coming, and you won't have to pay a penny for it, just like youi don't have to pay for BS, either.
You think old Spetzer knew all those hookers on a firstAre you seriously comparing a guy who employs expensive hookers to a guy who gives blow jobs to male strangers under bathroom stalls?

Oh right, I forgot the Republican was a and the Democrat was just using his extraordinary wealth to illegally purchase sex.
Clearly, only the is worth obsessing over in the midst of a collapsing economy and a war. My mistake, you transparent and hypocritical sheep.
The stock was worth $159 last year and was bought by JPM for $2???!!!!
Don't you know many of the 14,000 BS employess had stock of their company? (that is where they get a big share of their bonuses) They lost a load of money!
You are so ing clueless it is not even funny anymore . . .
Your point?
You think he was not on to "something"?
You are so full of . . .Are you seriously comparing a guy who employs expensive hookers to a guy who gives blow jobs to male strangers under bathroom stalls?
Sunday, JP Morgan pays peanuts of $250M to own collapsed Bear Stearns.
This Has Not Yet Begun to Hit the Fan.
Right-wing sex scandal: OMG! This is huge! This disqualifies all conservatives from ever holding any office ever!Are you seriously comparing a guy who employs expensive hookers to a guy who gives blow jobs to male strangers under bathroom stalls?
Left-wing sex scandal: Yawn. Can we stick to the real issues?
There is some thinking that the Wall St brought down Spitzer since Spitzer had been such a pain to Wall St.

and FBI being able to vacuum up terabytes of data on all US citizens certainly helped to destroy an enemy of the WH and Repugs:

I figure the RNC and Rove and McCain will have full access to the FBI/NSA/CIA spying apparatus to be abused for partisan politics.
Yeah, that's about $8 billion in shareholder wealth wiped out from last Monday's open. JPMorgan Chase may end up with a nice profit off the taxpayer's dime but I'm not sure how Bear Stearns' shareholders have cause to celebrate today.
repubs like a weak dollar
Moreso do Dems.
Wrong. Try again.
Learn a little and then we'll talk.
There are topics where boutons and Dan should simply STFU.
They have no clue what they are talking about. They only bring their idiological BS. No analysis, no objectivity . . . pure and simple idiological bull .
