Curse You Enron!

Remember when Enron was all the rage, headline news every day, etc.? You know, because George W. Bush knew Ken Lay he was obviously responsible for the Enron collapse and all that? And that dastardly Bernie Madoff - he was a GOP shill, right? Funny, isn't it, how things change...

Hundreds of millions missing from Corzine-run brokerage firm

NEW YORK — The brokerage firm run by former New Jersey governor Jon Corzine became more deeply mired in controversy Tuesday when regulators said it failed to protect its customers' money by keeping it separate from the firm's own funds.



Hundreds of millions of dollars of customer's money have gone missing from the brokerage firm, MF Global, sources told The New York Times.

Oopsie. Funds were "misallocated". Now, if I happened to "misallocate" a few thousand from TD Bank, something tells me the authorities might have something to say about it, most likely involving men with body armor and automatic weapons. But happen to mix in customer accounts with house accounts to the tune of hundreds of millions? Oh, there's no evidence of impropriety there!

Got that? George Bush knew Ken Lay, ergo he was personally responsible for the Enron collapse. Jon Corzine's company "misallocates" funds and the MSNBC "news" story goes out of its way to say

No accusation of wrongdoing: The paper said that MF Global and Corzine had not been accused of doing anything wrong. Regulators are trying to establish if customer funds were misallocated.

I'm certain if this had been Herman Cain's company, they'd have been just as circumspect, no?

That is all.
