Junior is not going to starve ping.

[johniegrad]

Huh?

[Joe 6-pack]

Just the Lynching of another black man in modern America...

[Robert A Cook PE]

Sounds like Merill is setting up to Lynch the taxpayers with a quick buy-off-theinfluential-and-corrupt-democrat-politician.

Then again, the insurance companies bought off CT's Chris Dodd many years ago.

"We are delighted to have a dynamic, energetic visionary like Harold Ford join Merrill Lynch," Chairman and CEO Stan O’Neal said in a statement.

Translation: He'll make a great shakedown artist in DC

[exit82]

And his qualifications are...?

Oh, he's a Dem.

[operation clinton cleanup]

He does not have a problem working for Merrill "Lynch"?

[mgstarr]

ML seems to guessing which way '08 will go.

Never been impressed with them - anyone remember Henry Blodget?

[Political Junkie Too]

Does this mean that he's giving up politics, or is this a holding pattern for a few years?

-PJ

[GSlob]

Well, I'm glad I do not have any dealings with Merrill Lynch. Nor am I going to.

[2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten]

Hey, I'm a dynamic, energetic visionary too - where's my Wall Street gig?

[mombonn]

Yet another reason I left there long ago.

[2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten]

but Ford said in a statement announcing his new position that he was "thrilled" with his new affiliation.

Well ain't that special - Junior is "thrilled".

[jdm]

FYI

[Bahbah]

or is this a holding pattern

Holding pattern.

[Coldwater Creek]

If Jr. is in charge of the Democrat leadership, is this not a conflict of interest?

[stephenjohnbanker]

None

[LetsRok]

Same qualifications as Chelsea getting six figures with no experience.

[Schichtel]

Is He Bringing the $100,000 COLD CASH with Him?
