OK Karen, I see where you're coming from on this. But I hope you don't mind my occasional prod on the topic of media bias. It's based on my observation that you criticize the rare right wing media, but seldom take issue with the dominating left wing media.

We will never know, I suppose, whether the case was not pursued because there was no evidence of wrongdoing or because the career bureaucrats at SEC were reluctant to mess with a politically influential individual. I'd expect this reluctance to prevail regardless of the color of the administration: one never knows who will be in next, and nobody in Government wants powerful enemies. Personally, I care about as much as I cared about Clinton's extramarital affairs, which is to say not at all. Given our political system, I think it most unlikely that any of these guys are as pure as the driven snow, unless we're talking about the driven snow in Jersey City. I don't see that it has any impact on his ability to govern. I do suspect that a few people in the Democratic establishment are a bit embarrassed at not having come up with that particular tidbit during the campaign. It was also sobering to be reminded of what I already knew: that Bush's career as a businessman was so thoroughly devoid of success. It would be nice to have a Presidential candidate, someday, that had really excelled at something, somewhere, other than politics.
