Slider, I don't see anywhere in the article about how exactly JPM or C is getting all their $ back from GM. The article insinuates that they are getting 100% of loans back from pilfering the UAW pensions? I find that hard to believe since the UAW is Obama's homies. The way the article is written, it lacks credibilty.

Here is the text of the Maureen White story, as it appeared originally, via Nexis: Daily News (New York) October 26, 2008 Sunday SPORTS FINAL EDITION DEMOCRATIC MONEY QUEEN IN BOOZE BUST BYLINE: BY ALISON GENDAR, DORIAN BLOCK and WIL CRUZ DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITERS SECTION: NEWS; Pg. 10 LENGTH: 239 words A HEAVYWEIGHT political fund-raiser who has pulled in millions for the Clintons, Barack Obama and Mayor Bloomberg was busted for driving while intoxicated in the Bronx, NYPD sources said yesterday. Maureen White, 54, the former national finance chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee and wife of private equity investor Steve Rattner, was pulled over at the Throgs Neck Bridge Friday night. Bridge and tunnel officers approached her 2006 Mercedes-Benz when it mysteriously stopped at the toll of an E-ZPass lane. "Where do I go now?" White oddly asked. The officers pulled her over, smelled alcohol and noticed that White had difficulty walking. Sources said the officers gave her a field sobriety test, which registered a .17 blood alcohol level - more than twice the legal limit. White, who had a 2008 Democratic National Convention pass in her car, was taken to the 45th Precinct, where she then refused a sobriety test, sources said. She was arraigned yesterday in Bronx Criminal Court. A man who answered the phone at the couple's Westchester residence said they were out to dinner. The powerhouse couple, who married in 1986 and have four children, have long campaigned for the Clintons and raised millions of dollars for various candidates. White's April 2006 retirement fete alone raised $1.3 million for the party and was hosted by the Mandarin Oriental Hotel by Bill Clinton, Howard Dean and Al Gore.
