Bailing Out Judges
Bad Judges
Judge Roberts; call your pollster
“
From the “how’s that for irony” file comes a report that the judge that
signed off on the GM bailout has been having second thoughts, because —
surprise, surprise, surprise — he wasn’t informed about part of the
deal.
Shared an airline flight last month with a guy who was in on the settlement talks. He said Geithner came in like a childish arrogant ass and bluntly told everyone he didn't care how things were done before, that THEY were in charge now, that they would do things the way THEY wanted and anyone who didn't like it could stick it...
He suggested I read Ed Klein's "The Amateur" and after looking through it I now see why we're in the outhouse.
Seems to me that a whole bunch of GM stockholders who were enticed to overpay for New GM stock, now have a ready-made class-action lawsuit to file against the weakened automaker. Since the union GM sold shares as part of the public offering, perhaps the UAW can also be named in the suit.
The judge can fiddle around all he wants. I won't believe he's serious until he instructs his bailiffs to beat the crap out of the attorneys involved.
