"This past Fourth of July, I was glad to see that George and Martha were
in the media spotlight together. No, not the Washingtons, the first
First Couple, but George W. Bush and Martha Stewart, a symbolic First
Couple of insider capitalism. Thanks to WorldCom (which overstated
pretax profits by a whopping $3.8 billion last year), Tyco International
(which was run by executives who allegedly misused company money and
covered up improper payments to themselves), Xerox (which
over-duplicated its earnings), Martha Stewart (the domesticity-domme who
stands accused of insider trading), and other alleged corporate
malfeasants, Bush's own less-than-stellar corporate past has been
revived."

(It's amazing how quickly this down-home boy from Texas can start
talking like a defense lawyer.)
