Re: "...That $10 million phantom profit hid three-quarters of the company's losses in 1989. White House aides have played down the significance of this maneuver, saying $10 million isn't much, compared with recent scandals. But for Harken's stock price — and hence for Mr. Bush's personal wealth — this accounting trick made all the difference." >>> Well, I guess if it's only $10 million or so of fraudulent 'profits' than the Harkin insiders aren't really guilty of defrauding public investors. >>> Kinda like being only a 'little bit pregnant'. >>> 'Real crooks' like the S & L scamsters steal hundreds of millions. Guess this makes Bush only a 'baby crook'! >>> Of course - by extension - this means that the con man who only steals a few tens of thousands of dollars from widows and orphans isn't really guilty of anything at all....
