Mario Gabelli in Barron's Roundtable sounded a similar alarm on private equity targets. He thinks the weakest covenant lite targets can go maybe 2 years of stress then the garbage surfaces - 2009 or 2010.

He pointed to another item being discussed in public corp. boardrooms -- why should we bother maintaining triple A debt ratings if private equity guys can buy us out and run eight times the debt? Yikes.
