So, the amount of money determines how palatable you find something to be?
Didn't I say "obscene profit"?

So, let me get this straight, they own a billion dollars worth of stock in companies that made about $30 million?
Worst companies ever!
Those are just examples - but if you are okay with a Senator using her power to benefit her husband's companies to the tune of a minimum of $30M - what is the limit at which it is OBSCENE?
In other words, how much can a government official put in his or her own pockets before it is unethical?

Oh, and, they're not "her husband's companies"... they are companies he holds stock in. That would be like saying Wal-Mart is "MY" company because one of the mutual funds in my 401(k) owns some Wal-Mart stock.
Richard Blum is a billionaire financier. You don't understand much about business if you don't grok the power that large investors have with their portfolio companies.
Okay. Just to be clear. It is okay for an elected representative to use his or her power to provide unlimited financial benefit to family members as long as none of it ends up in his her personal pocket?
Kinda like claiming Cheney is benefiting from Halliburton getting contract in Iraq, eh?
EDIT: About Attorneygate - much ado about nothing. Prosecutors are Executive Branch appointees. If Clinton could fire 93 of them - Bush has every right to fire 8.
After what happened to Libby? Or are you really one of those Orwellian types who think that people shouldn't mind their privacy being violated if they have nothing to hide?
It's the whole basis for the Patriot Act in the first place... the same Act that gave the Attorney General the ability to hire and fire the Attorneys without Congressional oversight.
Oh the irony...
Question is... how much went in to the Senator's pocket?
The story says nothing of that. So, until you come up with some numbers it'll be difficult to determine.
The story is nothing but a bunch of innuendo and conjecture. Barely worthy f reading. Show some corruption and I'll address it.
If you can prove that that is the case... bring it. Bring charges. Drag her before an ethics committee and throw her out.
My guess is that this is nothing more than an attempt to distract from President Bush's veto of funding for our troops and Attorneygate.
