What makes this different from the average corruption case is the size of the pay-off: billions instead of millions.

Where Di Fi and Hubby really made a killing was in the value of company stock. The two Blum-Feinstein companies the article mentions were funneled billion of dollars in defense contracts. Stocks doubled or better. Blum-Feinstein sell stocks at a profit of around 1/2 billion.

Another issue is the awful Third World health care provided to our wounded vets (from the Iraq conflict) by one of the two companies. This really does not play well in Middle America.

About the source of the news, the reasearch was done by Nation Institute, as in Nation Magazine. Far Left types.

(apologies to Phil Ochs)

"I read New Republic and Nation
I've learned to take every view
You know, I've memorized Lerner and Golden
I feel like I'm almost a Jew
But when it comes to times like korea
There's no one more red, white and blue
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal."
