Bush's First Crime: A Cold Case Warms Up

Harvard Management's former CEO, Jack Meyer, wasn't concerned. He told The Boston Globe that, "Our [Harken] position increased 1.4 million shares in 1990." All, he maintained, were acquired by Harvard Management from Harken. "We didn't buy any of these shares from any shareholders." (Such as Bush.)

There's much more in these and subsequent filings that make Harvard Management look like it's trying to hide its unlawful acts behind Harvard University's ivied facade. But at a time when his former supporters are distancing themselves from Bush, there's nothing to stop Harvard too from hopping on the hawser and abandoning his sinking ship like yet another rat.

Since there's no expiration date for amending its amendments, Harvard can still come clean. With its endowment rising 16.7 percent in the last fiscal year to an eye-popping $29.2 billion, a settlement with the SEC would be painless.

As for Bush, indictment might give this president an actual legacy. Thanks to him, future presidential hopefuls will be forced to open his or her closet and watch as any financial skeletons hidden inside come clattering out.

Add it to the list

I wish I had a nickle for every time I said, "Well, he has to be indicted now."

Sorry to say that I have gone to a place beyond cynicism and until I actually see just one of these bastards behind bars I'm not getting my hopes up.

Huh?

 

A member of the Bush family did something criminal, immoral and/or ethically challenged?

That's news?

I'm glad to see people put the facts into some venue where they might not be jettisoned down the memory hole, but in the end, it doesn't matter.

There are 1500+ offenses for which Bush, Cheney, Rove, Rumsfeld, Gonzales, and all the rest of these criminals COULD be impeached, tried, removed, indicted, tried, convicted, sentenced, and imprisoned, and none of them will ever be acted upon.

We have reached a point in our history where the inmates run the asylum.  We laughed when we read that they said they "made their own reality" but the fact is, THEY DO!  And those who could stop them (elected officials who took oaths to protect the Constitution, not their political party or political careers) choose to LIVE in that reality rather than to challenge it.

The lies.  The criminality.  The death.  The destruction.  The horrible cynicism and disrespect that these people have for America and most Americans.  It just makes me sick.

a friend ...

... an old friend, being one of the most pragmatic one can know, still can't believe that there can be that many insane people in positions of power for so long that they could hold together a conspiracy to dominate the world and at the same time comden our species into dustbin of history and be able to get away with it.

Well, I try to explain that is why I too have no explanation other than that indeed the situation is insane, and that insanity, especially the mass form of it exhibited when major crimes are simply being ignored by the very people that should be exposing and enforcing them and they have about as much a reaction to said crimes as the cartoon kids on South Park have every time Kenny gets killed - " you bastards" , and then they move on.

"Oh ... a war based on lies? War-profiteering? Massive Election Fraud? Torture? Dubia? ENRON? Pat Tillman? AbuGraid? Katrina? 9/11? Oh, okay, well let's just try to the best of a bad situation and more on."

I often wonder what would happen if we had 4 hours of C-SPAN at night with each caller allowed at least one question with a follow-up, how that would change the titanic plates of democracy.

But, you see that would be sane ...

With insanity there is no motive.
