Have either of you seen this? And can one of you two hit your NC ping list for me?

Democrat U.S. Senate candidate Erskine Bowles doesn’t want voters to know about his personal involvement in making risky investment decisions after being hired to “operate” the investment firm Forstmann Little – which led to the loss of $1.5 billion “almost overnight” for investors and even millions of a state’s pension fund which is now suing the firm. (New York Times, 2/24/02)

Don't cry for Frostmann Little.

Frostmann Little is a "buy out" company that buys out companies, fires employees, cuts benefits, and than tries to sell the company in whole or in pieces at an inflated price.

Frostmann Little and their executives deserve the worst.

Is Bowles lying?

My God the man was a big weasel in the Clinton administration!

And North Carolina also foists the hideous shyster John Edwards to infest the body politic.

[Richard Axtell]

I won't shed a tear for Frostman Little, or Erskine Bowles. Perhaps we might give a thought to thousands of investors and pensioners that have lost so much due to another Clinton crony in a position of power and responsibility.

[Political Junkie Too]

It would be interesting to compare and contrast the financial mismanagement accusations and rebuttals towards and from Bowles with similar accusations and rebuttals hurled towards and from Bill Simon in California. How do the Democrats react to Bowles' denial of responsibility as compared to Simon's?

But I had had a chance to work with the leadership of Forstmann Little for over a 20-year period and during that time period the track record of that company had been enormously positive. In fact they had a return of their investment of over 35 percent ...

Is Irksome really bragging about a 35% ROI over 20 years????? You - or anyone else - can do much better at your local bank, on a checking account.

This is just what North Carolina needs - another Democrat who makes bad decisions and wastes other people's money (and blames other people for it).

[RightWingNut]

MMMM, is a confirmed Clintonista lying ? If his lips are moving, then he's lying.

another Democrat who makes bad decisions and wastes other people's money

I agree, all North Carolinians should vote for Giddy Dolt!! She's a real conservative. And oh, I almost forgot!! We can win back the Senate like that RNC fundraising letter I got yesterday that said so. Went straight from the mailbox to the trash.

Someone suggested and I agree, this year we need the frontrunning candidates for Senator to wear different uniforms so we can tell them apart. Bowles dirty? Probably so. The one thing you can say about him though is he says what he says and you can agree or disagree. Giddy doesn't bring up she campaigned FOR more gun control, FOR seat belt and airbag laws against the wishes of the Reagan administration, FOR stronger regulation on tobacco(and we're one of THE tobacco growing states!! does she know she has constituents in this state she would be representing yet?), and flipflops on abortion faster than you can say Viagra. This woman gets into office and she will be more trouble and more of a headache for the Republican conservative arm of the party than Jim Jeffords could be in 10 terms

Is Liddy Dole lying?

When Liddy Dole registered to vote in this state last year, did she do it illegally?
