What, am I supposed to fell sory for this greedy moron?

I work my as* off 50 to 60 hours a week just to get by, and you have the ba**s to whine about your loss of 400 million dollars. Your arrogant whining has no effect on me whats so ever. You deserve much, much more than you'll ever recieve from the courts. How many additional lives have you ruined with your greed? If I had the power, you would spend the rest of your greedy life in prison and serving the poor.

You and the rest of the "money above all" crowd are nothing but crooks in sheep clothing.

Those heathen Neanderthals…those scoundrels…those slimy snakes-in-the-grass! Of course, we’re talking about the CEO’s, CFO’s, accountants, auditing firms, and insiders like Martha Stewart, who intentionally misled the public or illegally profited during one of the greatest bubbles in Wall Street history. Wiping out over $5.5 trillion in paper wealth is no trivial matter. It’s downright criminal. And authorities are on a witch-hunt in pursuit of prosecutable culprits.

The inherent problem in all this hoopla is that any seasoned investor knows that a few Enron’s, Tyco’s, and WorldCom’s didn’t create the bubble. The bubble of the late 90s was produced by an overly lax (or even irresponsible) monetary policy, along with an endless deluge of optimism. In stoking the optimism, the major Wall Street firms provided the cheerleading, while the media provided the publicity.

The truth is that evidence of a dangerous bubble was rampant in everything from lofty valuations and soaring margin debt, to the price of a seat on the New York Stock Exchange and the record number of investment clubs being formed. But no one on Wall Street wanted to rock the boat in 1997-99. No one in control (neither the Federal Reserve or Exchange officials) wanted to take responsibility for ending the (Clinton's)* party. And only a few in the media cared about presenting a contrarian or out-of-favor viewpoint.

So here we are today, picking up the pieces and focusing blame on a few special situations – somehow trying to rationalize how this caused $5.5 trillion in stock market values to vaporize almost overnight. Well ironically, it didn’t. However, this misguided focus (or great bubble ‘cover-up’ as we call it) is continuing to damage investor confidence. And that is making for a very bumpy ride…"

I think the defining characteristic of being a liberal is absolute refusal to take responsibility for your actions. Stated another way, their existance is one of TOTAL victimhood. Nothing is ever their fault and they are a victim of someone else trying to get them.

Of course the people who have elevated this existance to an art form are Jessie Jackson and the Clintons.

Martha, CHARACTER COUNTS!! (This should be the official saying of all conservatives) The reason you lost 400M is because you broke the law and then tried to cover it up instead of taking responsibility for your actions.

It's that simple!!
