The irony is that Soros owned Harken Energy, bought Bush's failing
company
Spectrum 7 for Harken stock, and then made Bush director and consultant.
Why? According to Soros: "He (Bush) was supposed to bring in the Gulf
connection. But it didn't come to anything. We were buying political
influence. That was it."

LOL You've cut the best part of that quote: "He was not much of a
businessman."

Sure I did. Soros's opinion of Bush is irrelevant. The important and
relevant portion of the entire quote was where Soros admitted to trying to
buy political influence and Bush's Gulf connection.

Apparently, old Georgie boy never provided what Soros expected...and now
Soros is ****ed.



Now Soros is out to burn Bush because Bush "didn't bring in the Gulf
connection" for him.

Harken was peanuts to Soros. If he's out to burn Bush, it's because he's
seen Bush up close *and* Soros has known liberal credentials.

Harken isn't the issue. Soros thought he could "buy" himself a politician
with strong ties to the Gulf. He thought wrong...and now has a vendetta
against Bush.


Isn't OSI supposed to support campaign finance reform, and government
openness? What a laugh!
