Former Sen. Specter: Nasdaq discriminates against the Chinese
By Lou Kilzer, PITTSBURGH TRIBUNE-REVIEW

Former U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter, who once described Chinese business practices as international banditry, is accusing Nasdaq of racially discriminating against Chinese companies trying to raise money on that stock market.

Specter, 82, of Philadelphia filed a lawsuit challenging Nasdaq's decision in December to remove Chinese wind-tower maker CleanTech Innovations Inc. from the stock exchange. Nasdaq, in its delisting notice, cited concern about CleanTech's close association with controversial Wall Street deal maker Benjamin Wey, who the stock exchange's senior vice president labeled "notorious" for his past stock promotions.

Wey's firm, New York Global Group Inc., specializes in raising money for Chinese companies through complicated transactions called "reverse mergers" in which Chinese firms take over American shell companies.

Such mergers have cost investors tens of billions of dollars in losses, said Dan David, vice president of GeoInvesting LLC, a firm that follows the Chinese reverse merger equities markets.

Specter began representing CleanTech before he left office on Jan. 3 after serving three decades as one of Pennsylvania's two U.S. senators.

So now the old bastard is representing the Chinese version of Burnie Maddof and playing the Race Card at the same time.

Nothing liked a a nice steaming dish of schadenfreude to get you started in the morning.

Blaming everyone but himself. His conduct on the healthcare law was completely contrary to his previous conduct on socialized medicine - he had been on of the architects in derailing Hillarycare. His behavior was based solely on snapshot polling data. He should have stayed in the GOP and just retired gracefully - despite his annoying behavior historically it could have been said he had a long distinguished career...but due to selfishness, he went out looking like a clown.

Who knows if any of this is even true - Specter is just blaming everybody else.

[Republican Wildcat]

Thanks for posting that - obviously very odd for a state’s two sitting U.S. Senators to be seen beside of each other at an event.

What a joke.

Arlen, this is what happens when you try to pet
a scorpion. Try putting some ice on it.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

So, Bowbama Fluked Sphinkter, uh, Specter...

[DOGEY]

What Obama and Harry had said they loved him the night before.

[rlmorel]

I’m thinking “The Dollar Store” rack...

[navymom1]

Ah, boo-fricking-hoo.

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

This article should be shared with every RINO every year to remind them how the dems will treat them after they have ended their usefulness.

Remember, thou art mortal.

[brityank]

Well, what do you know?
Something I can be grateful to Harry Reid for!

Specter said Reid promised him that he would be recognized on the seniority list as a Democrat elected in 1980 but failed to deliver on it.
Reid stripped Specter of all his seniority by passing a short resolution by unanimous consent in a nearly-empty chamber, burying him at the bottom of the Democrats’ seniority list.

How sweet it was!

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

You are right! It is the main reason that Santorum lost his seat by a record margin of 18%!

[headstamp 2]

Reason number 5,850 of why RINOs are useless.

Former Sen. Arlen Specter

I like that he's long gone, there are many more so-called Republicans that need to be removed from office.Imagine being Arlen "All I want is for 'A POTUS' to give me some respect" Specter, so I'll vote for health-care to get it. What type of cloudy thinking is THAT? Thank god people like he,Bob Dole + Olympia Snowe (finally!) are history, Loser McCain has surely got to be next.

"Poor Sphincter, looks like they gave him the shaft after he gave it to us." *sniffle* /s
sleep w/Benedict Arnold...you...you (being kind) turncoat.

[AtlasStalled]

Oh just shut up Arlen. No one cares about your hurt feelings or your crappy book. If you lie down with dogs you get fleas, and you made your bed so now lie in it.

“Dole told me I had done the right thing, that I had done a terrific job as a senator, been involved in a lot of projects, been very active, and hadn’t gotten credit for a lot of the stuff I had done,” he wrote. “I said, ‘Bob, I think that it’s very meaningful when you say that I did the right thing, in the party change.’ “He said, ‘Well,’ and then paused and thought for a few seconds. Then he said, ‘I probably would have done the same thing.’”

If this is true, maybe the best man won anyway in 96.

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

Good point Psycho. Snarlin’ Arlin’s treachery poisoned more than his own well.

[Nebr FAL owner]

God what an idiot & this doofus spent 28 years in Washington D.C. & still thought the Democrats were peole who would keep their word to a Republican turncoat.
