Bush - less Riggs
The WPost manages to write an entire editorial about Riggs bank without mentioning the name of Bush even once. Amazing!
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A484-2004Jul20.html

"Perhaps more disturbing than the bank's behavior, though, is the fact that federal bank regulators failed to police the abuses. The laxness is particularly troubling because cracking down on money laundering is an essential component of combating terrorists. Examiners at the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency repeatedly identified problems at Riggs, were mollified by promises to make fixes and took no action when the fixes weren't made. When the bank examiner responsible for Riggs retired from the government, he immediately took a job with the bank."

They prefer vague references to top executives and senior management to avoid saying Jonathan Bush.

1. All of the articles have done that............
It doesn't matter, NYT, everybody. It only shows the real juice the bush clan has. Sickening.
I am beginning to believe that even if Kerry wins we are still doomed because the "powers that be" will attack, attack, attack and they own the media.
Re-Dux Bill Clinton only 10 times worse.
