You g...what's funny is the commentary section. You go to anything involving that Anthony chick and you see gobs of comments. Her probable actions and the trial were crap but didn't have nearly the impact upon people's lives as the fraud that Mr. Perry and others like him perpetuated for about a decade. BUT, go to the commentary on this story and there are 9 comments .... total..... in the LA Times..... unbelievable to me. People in general have their heads buried so far up their asses most of the time it seems sometimes to me that they are really just getting what they deserved all along. I hate to say it but the thought has occured to me on one more than one occasion.

"Mr. Perry was a prudent, effective CEO who led IndyMac in good faith. His sound business judgment is confirmed by the fact that the federal banking regulators consistently praised Mr. Perry's leadership of IndyMac during the very same time period at issue in the new meritless lawsuit." <br />Copyright © 2011, Los Angeles Times<br /><br /><a href="http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fiw-indymac-20110707,0,3703184.story" rel="nofollow">what bullshit</a> that's about as lame a defense as I've ever heard. No different that that Atlanta school superintendent getting high marks for years when unbeknownst to many, her teachers were engaged in a systemic fraud to cover up bad grades by the dipshit student body they have there.

If that is truly the case and the honest to God truth, then I conclude that we are by and large a country of over fed fucking pussies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9619963.post-86413975725362783442011-05-26T09:18:58.027-07:002011-05-26T09:18:58.027-07:00"It was a great day for whistle-blowers,"..."It was a great day for whistle-blowers,"said lawyer Stephen Kohn, executive director of the National Whistleblowers Center.
