He probably made some deal that if GW leaves him, he will help to eliminate the double taxing of dividends, a real key to economic recovery.
Then he will retire sometime in 2004 or early 2004. Then GW can appoint someone else and hopefully will have at least 60 senators to ensure the appointment.
If he retired now, it would be worse than getting a conservative judge appointed. He hasn't done anything for over a year now. So he and his board are irrelevant when we have no inflation.

When a rat politician gets tolerant and compassionate about the rights of their dark siders, that means they want to take away our rights.

Too bad his business partner wasn't Terry McAuliffe. Well, if this guy gave that much money, TM's not too far away from him, IMHO.

Drug Smuggler Made Clinton Donation in Cuba, Investigators Say
By DON VAN NATTA Jr.
New York Times
April 4, 1997
MIAMI -- Jorge Cabrera, a drug smuggler who has emerged as
one of the most notorious supporters of President Clinton's
re-election campaign, was asked for a campaign contribution in
the unlikely locale of a hotel in Havana by a prominent Democratic
fund-raiser, congressional investigators have learned.
snip
her only strong memory of Cabrera is at the
fund-raising dinner on Dec. 3, in Coral Gables, Fla., at the home
of Jerome Berlin, a lawyer who was indicted in 1990, and later
acquitted, of federal conspiracy charges of bribing public
officials.

MIAMI -- Jorge Cabrera, a drug smuggler who has emerged as one of the most notorious supporters of President Clinton's re-election campaign, was asked for a campaign contribution in the unlikely locale of a hotel in Havana by a prominent Democratic fund-raiser, congressional investigators have learned.
[...] On his return to the United States several days after that meeting, in November 1995, Cabrera wrote a check for $20,000 to the Democratic National Committee from an account that included the proceeds from smuggling cocaine from Colombia to the United States, said the investigators, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
[...] In early January 1996, three weeks after having attended the Christmas reception at the White House, Cabrera was arrested and charged with importing 6,000 pounds of cocaine into the United States on boats through the Florida Keys. Late last year, pleaded guilty to those charges and was sentenced to 19 years in federal prison and fined $1.5 million.
Much more here...

These guys were "aquitted" of felony bribery and corruption charges, but still managed to get and carry a (concealed) gun .....
Legally?
(Oh. They were democrats...... Of course.)

This story will be buried as fast as this crook.
Thank you for the ping!

May they all turn and devour each other, save us the trouble.
To: Liz
Is it not peculiar how many democrat "fund raisers" meet early, strange deaths, expire in jail under mysterious circumstances, and questionable suicides?
You don't see this with other political parties. You do see this in criminal gangs.
The democrats are not an opposition party. They are the Sopranos!

Jeepers! Thanks for the heads up!
