  • this really is an amazing photo. did the man come to work only to find his office vacant except a desk and chair? How nice would it be to see Bear Stearns top official like this instead of the news he was actually playing cards at a Bridge Tournament in Detroit exactly the same time the Feds were negotiating the purchase at $3/share!! We've abviously brought the Iraqi's a type of democracy we don't yet have ourselves...

  • That's a really good point, but no.

    The bridge tournament thing is just unbelievable, isn;t it?

  • Just another example of Cheney's sweeping vision of "success"
