Here we go again??

Amazing how Bush, back in 1999, weilded such power, that he forced Qwest to do this ;)

(why isn't the left in an uproar over what Rubin did??)

[Young Werther]

There he goes again. That tricky Bush was able to ensnare another telephone company in the ever spreading corruption cycle.

I haven't read the other posting yet but I am including a SARCASM ALERT!!!

Qwest's financial probems aren't just due to funny accounting. I'm a former Qwest customer and put up with poor service and constant rate hikes. They also lost out on Internet service and provided a decidedly poor choice especially for DSL.

I have now switched my local phone service to a local cable TV company and am saving $19 per month over Qwest and am getting excellent service. Let the competitive market decide Qwest's fate.

The US Senate failed to even hear the volumes of evidence against the impeached president, Clinton, so he gets off, December 1998.

1999 New Year message to Americans, the rule of law is for suckers. Well, at least until a new sheriff, El President Busho, came riding into DC town January 20, 2001.

Unlike some of the Dot com speculations, Qwest has a $19 Billion revenue stream that will not be affected by criminal acts of the executives.

On top of that, the senators and congress critters of 14 states are not going to let their constituents lose dial tone. Ain't gonna happen.

If you simply took the Qwest BS out of USWest, you would have a fine RBOC again. That is what is going to happen.

All of the speculative nonsense is going to go. And when it is over, you will have USWest again, this time under the able leadership of the former CEO of Ameritec.

How the government handles the debt is another question but it will.

A billion here, a billion there, soon you're talking real money.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

I wonder if OMB will ever restate Clintons "surplus"?

It sounds like the new Guy in Charge is cleaning house. I am so glad that Nacchio (the guy who ok'd the charges) is gone.

[INSENSITIVE GUY]

I'D sure like to see E-BAY get nailed.
