Cogito - Your right, I could have found more compelling evidence. I'm sure it exists, but I've been too busy with the family to concern myself with digging around the web lately. You have to admit though, it's astonishing to see so many high ranking and influential members of the Democratic party serving as top management in the failed financial institutions we're bailing out. From Fannie Mae to Citigroup, to AIG the membership list is quite impressive. Something related I noticed today while watching the news. Did you notice how many news organizations focused stories on the human tragedy of Bernie Maddoff victims? We see the visual images of pain on their face as they talk about losing their life savings, and what terrible financial shape they're in. Contrast the news saturation of “Bernie Victims” with how little we've seen of “Citigroup victims”, or “Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac victims”. Untold thousands must have lost their life savings investing in these companies, yet the press has totally ignored the human tragedy of their incompetent management and potentially fraudulent behavior. In regard to the Democrat name thing. I really didn't think anyone considered it an epitaph. I've seen it expressed both ways on quite a few occasions, and never thought much about it. I've also seen the N.Y. Times use the term. Not exactly a paper known for Democratic Party attacks. Mike
