But, they'll probably give it to him....

Even after the psychological abuse of having Jim "gay American" Mcgreevy as governor, I was still dismayed that New Jersey would elect Corzine.

Won’t seek severance payments. Of course not. That’s what the missing $600 million is.

We did elect Chris Christie over Corzine. Definitely a step in the right direction.

Williams said it's possible that the transfer of money was made earlier but was missed by CME auditors. He said the company apparently lacked strong systems to monitor risk or prevent such illegal transfers.

Give me a break!

Nowhere in the article does it say that Corzine is a democrat.
