Fox News and their Republican guests being "fooled by this guy's bullshit?" Stewart asked. Republicans have been holding up the "strong" Putin as a favorable alternative to the "weak," "mom jeans"-wearing Obama. (Seriously, the "mom jeans" line is a thing.) In one of Stewart's clips, Rudy Giuliani gushes that while Obama dithers, Putin the leader acts quickly and makes the world react to him. That's not the definition of a leader, Stewart said, incredulously, "that's what you call a toddler." Also, when the Fox News crowd isn't calling Obama weak, they're calling him a "dictator king," Stewart said. And then...

If you opened a money management business tomorrow and then "lost" your clients monies you would be in jail in no time.

What the hell are you talking about. It's not against the law to lose clients money. Where the eff did you get that idea???

What happened under this administration was not only a set of unfortunate new laws and regulations boosting crony capitalism, what also happened was selective abandonment of the rule of law.

Wow--it never ceases to amaze me how many armchair quarterbacks there are here. You THINK that fraud was committed. I probably agree. But all that matters is what you can prove in a court of law. And you don't know that.

I'm assuming that's what you are referencing--no criminal action against Wall St. What other abandonment was there?

Better educate yourself, it is illegal to use segregated customer accounts for corporate purposes (in this case to cover the companies investment losses and looming bankruptcy), and that's what happened. The fact that he is not in jail is grounds for impeachment. But then again, he is/was a big time Obama campaign supporter. Any questions?

Maybe--but that's not what you said.

Sure--can you share the proof that he broke the law. And that his connection to Obama is/was the reason he wasn't prosecuted?

Any answers?

Absolutely - there is an email stating Corzine directing that transfer. The only defense he had was pleading "da fif" and saying that it was not customer money. But the money was missing (and not traceable to investment losses), that's a fact and if you had done that you'd be sent to jail for a long long time. That is on par with W pardoning scooter "treason" libby on his last day (though one could argue that at least libby was prosecuted and convicted and then pardoned which is fucked up but unfortunately not against the law).
