A profile of billionaire conservative, Bruce Kovner. Read the whole thing, as they say.

Could you please change 'Twing' in the title to 'Twin'? Sorry...

Never heard of him. Funny how Clinton or Kerry could meet with someone like Soros and it be no big deal. Cheney meets with Kovner and it is dark secret tinfoil hat time. The article seems to also flow so well that you can tell they changed the word Jew to neocon every time.

Actually when posting this sort of Hysteric Left tripe, it is most helpful if you use this function.

This is an excerpt.

Really no need to waste our time and bandwith posting the whole of this sort of hysteric Leftist screed pretending to be "news" story.

Good post. Thanks. Thank God there's somebody on our side who's an intelligent, cultivated foil to the insanity of Soros and the left.

Sorry to have taken up your time and bandwidth. I post 'em as I see 'em, and I trust that you do the same.

Best regards...

low profile...doesn't need the embellishment of the media...doesn't thrive on the fawning of groupies...doesn't have a point to prove or a thesis to convince the world of...does't have demons to exercise in public...just does his business, very well. the perfect antiSoros. Grow up, George, if you can.

Gary, I agree with you. Thanks for the good post, Snarks!

And not only is there someone on our side who has all those things over Soros, but he has something that Soros doesn't have: Kovner has backed a winner in the Bush admin. Not just once, but twice.

Actually, Kovner reminds me somewhat of Rupert Murdoch: A behind-the-scenes operator who mainly funds conservative projects, although he doesn't seem to mind helping out the smelly lefties on other projects. Kovner backs Julliard, which has a lefty administration, while Murdoch owns the left-leaning hollywood-based Fox studios and its broadcast network.

Thanks. So many in the MSM and elsewhere wax lyrical about Soros's brilliance and investment prowess, but Kovner appears to be even more brilliant and more successful as an investor than Soros (not to mention far more successful as a patron of political entities, causes and candidates). Nice to see that palindromic putz, Soros, one-upped.
