As politics and the economy sometimes mix. I wanted ask about Citigroup, I believe America’s largest bank, going from 47 to 37 in just over a month. I believe Chuck Prince III will resign today, but that’s not really going to help Citigroup or the economy.

Citicorpse is skating on thin ice, even some question of its having enough capital reserves to remain a federally chartered bank.

Meredith Whitney, Forbes’ second-highest ranked stock picker for 2007, downgraded Citibank in time for last Thursday’s mega-crash and received several death threats for her trouble.

Sure, Condi didn’t do much diplomacy in while in Russia, but she did buy some expensive Pravda shoes.

Which to wear, the Pravda shoes or the Hugo Party Boss shoes?

‘I am the real decider. And I have decided that GWB will not be impeached’. Nancy Decider Pelosi, (with a little help from my friends Harry and HRC, that is).

The only real reason now to not impeach is that it would also show Democrats to be culpable. Were the Clintons some of those Dems who could be shown to be culpable? Would showing Bill’s culpability impair Hillary’s candidacy? Would records from Bill’s presidential library show his culpability? You know, the ones he’s specifically said shall not be made public?

Was Hillary involved in any decision-making which resulted in policy which now makes it impossible to impeach Bush/Cheney?

Gawd it would be so nice to have a new president in 2009 that had no connections to the Bush’s or the Clintons.

I will assume you do not mean Rudy!

Interestingly, the 111th will go into business 2 weeks before Bush is out. In my dreams the 111th hustles out an express impeachment and throws Bush’s bony ass to the curb one hour before he retires.

Bush and Cheny. We need a two-fer.

The Inner Circle article has me wondering about the odd position any AG nominee is in with this administration. Anyone who said water boarding is torture would get their name yanked by the Bush admin. If they said water boarding isn’t torture, they may not get senate approval.

Would someone lie/fudge/weasel to get in the job, then actually do their job, name a special prosecutor and deal with the criminals in the White House? And how would we know, until it’s too late?

I love to hear that the inner circle is sweating it.

Heh. They ought to be sweating, considering how much legal jeopardy their buddies are in.
