I didn't think much of Jon Corzine before this MF Global debacle, and the circumstances of that story haven't changed things for me. I don't think much of the occupy wall street crowd either. Beating drums and dressing up as your favorite 16th century french literary character is not an effective way to bring on political change - especially when the political change you want is MUCH MUCH more of exactly the thing that has caused all the problems in the first place.
But there is one thing that they are absolutely right about. The system is corrupt. And for that reason I know that Jon Corzine, Former Goldman Sachs chief, former NJ Governor and Democrat part financial powerhouse isn't going to jail for anything. He may resign his position, but he will never serve any jail time. Not while Eric Holder is running the justice department.
He won't go to jail if he rapes a 13 year old girl on live nationwide TV (at least... so long as the girl is white). He's not going to jail. No way. But as the threat grows, be prepared to see signs of him proving his untouchability, by allowing a few of the bodies he's buried to come to the surface, and for the political fallout to take out a few others.

"I don't care if he rapes a 13 year old girl on live nationwide TV (at least... I don't so long as the girl is white)."
Now there's a quote somebody could take out of context.
I was thinking the very same thing when I wrote it, but I usually post first drafts (spelling errors and all). Don't be shocked if you come back here in an hour and it's changed.
