Not to mention that another top bundler, Jon Corzine, was head of MF Global, which collapsed with the theft of $1.6 billion dollars of client money. Jon Corzine hasn’t been charged and remains a free man today, although the head of another failed futures broker (PFG Best), one Mr. Wasendorf, was charged with crimes a day after the collapse, in which “only” $200 million of client money was stolen. Oh, did I forget to mention that Mr. Wasendorf was a Republican, unlike Mr. Corzine? Because that might have something to do with who gets charged with which crimes.

Oopsie...but remember, it is the seriousness of the charges, not the accuracy of the accusations!

Is this why those on the left are saying that Romney didn't really leave Bain in 1999?

Exactly! They will hit it as hard as they did Obama's Roanoke take down of American businesses. That is to say, not at all.

News to me, too. I take the dogs for a walk, and occasionally miss a story that is posted here or at Breitbart.

Drudge is now a Romneybot, but he still does a useful service getting the word out about Obama—now that he’s not too busy bashing Santorum.
