BetOnSports Exec Arrested: Feds Running Out of Things To Do:

If I didn't confirm the front page story on the NY Times by visiting the Wall St. Journal and several other papers, I wouldn't have believed it.

Bombs are literally flying across every inch of the Middle East, Israel is under attack, we're facing the biggest international crisis since the Bay of Pigs...and the morons at the Justice Department can't think of any better use of their resources than to sit and wait at the Dallas airport so they could arrest the UK ceo of BetOnSports, a publicly traded internet gambling company that was backed by Goldman Sachs and Fidelity. The charge??? Racketeering conspiracy for participating in an illegal enterprise.

Do I care that the company's shareholders lost their CEO to the wunderkinds at the FBI? And that all of the other execs of this UK, publicly traded company with thousands of shareholders can expect the FBI to wake them up at the crack of dawn and cart them off? After all, didn't these guys learn from Jay Cohen's experience? How stupid could these guys be to believe that its safe to set foot in this country when Congress just voted in favor of cracking down on internet gambling?? After all, the FBI and Justice Department don't have anything else to do...they killed off Ken Lay (he deserved it)...they've upended Martha Stewart (she deserved it too).....so now its Internet Gambling...--perhaps the most vile crime in the world...certainly worse than distributing child porn...after all...it takes NBC news to track down child porn promoters and abusers...the FBI is too busy chasing CEO's of internet gambling companies!

Hey George---loved your use of the word "shit" when the microphones picked up your chatting with Tony...what kind of shit is going on inside our own borders....and by the way...why hasn't the CEO of Goldman Sachs (now the Treasury Secretary been arrested on the internet gambling case---after all, they floated the stock on the UK exchange---isn't that aiding and abetting?..and how about arresting the portfolio managers from Fidelity---they bought a bunch of it in the IPO and still own it?...Isn't that aiding and abetting???
Can anyone spell P-R-I-O-R-I-T-Y ????
