OT ... Lizzie, re "So just because Levitt said this in one of his quotes, doesn't mean that a) it is a unilateral opinion agreed upon by all or 2) that Levitt didn't contradict himself elsewhere." OK. The Arthur Levitt quote again. "The Senate passed a [resolution] about the proposal of the standard setter to expense stock options. Why did they do it? There was no question in my mind that campaign contributions played the determinative role in that Senate activity. Corporate America waged the most aggressive lobbying campaign I think that they had ever put together on behalf of this issue. And the Congress was responsive to that." OK, so you don't agree with Huey. Do you think the quote is inaccurate? If not, what do you think Mr. Arthur Levitt meant .. that contradicts Huey's opinion of what Mr. Levitt meant? Do you have any evidence of Mr Levitt contradicting himself elsewhere? Make your case, if you can. Ron P.S. How do you find time to post on SI at 3:24 PM PDT? Or aren't you working in SV today?
