If they are anything like Russia, Soros better be running for his life or he's getting tossed in Prison.

Done. This is funny! I can see someone the Kz. embassy getting a call from GW's cabinet. "Hello, we have an idea. Can we send a diplomat around? Good. How's the weather?"

Too bad Dick Nixon wasn't president right now and had Soros giving him a bad time during his re-election. Nixon wanted his IRS Commissioner to be a "ruthless son of a bitch, that would make them PAY," to quote the former president...

Strange. I always believed Soros was a creature of the KGB.

If Kerry had been elected, he would give Soros immunity (or at least ensure that K didn't mess with the democrats #1 boy!).

Cool. Put him on the Interpol list, and maybe soon he'll be mining for gold in Siberia.
