he got stock options for serving on the board of directors, when the company went public, he made money.
let's keep eating our own, while the Dems coast with people like Terry McAuliffe and his Global Crossing money (which sure as hell was dirty). Corzine with his goldman sachs loot, Maria Cantwell, etc.
