Bernard Madoff, the Mafia, and Naked Short Selling

[Jan Klimkowski]

David - fascinating to see Robert Booth Nichols in there. Like you, I've spent some time exploring the whole Casolaro/Riconosciuto/Octopus spider's web.

However, the Scum from Del Monte are not such unexpected puppet masters.

Part of me does expect to wake up one morning and learn that the entire Bush crime family has relocated to its very own sovereign Paraguayan Colonia Dignidad.

Despite the denials, Barbara Bush doubtless articulated the beliefs of her mob compadres, after Katrina:

As President Bush battled criticism over the response to Hurricane Katrina, his mother declared it a success for evacuees who "were underprivileged anyway," saying on Monday that many of the poor people she had seen while touring a Houston relocation site were faring better than before the storm hit.

"What I'm hearing, which is sort of scary, is they all want to stay in Texas," Barbara Bush said in an interview on Monday with the radio program "Marketplace." "Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality."

"And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway," she said, "so this is working very well for them."
