Steve Forbes celebrates Robert Byrd’s death: ‘Good news’ for Wall Street.

News of Sen. Robert Byrd’s (D-WV) death has been met with an outpouring of reverence for his distinguished career, with even political opponents, like Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), praising Byrd’s “remarkable life” and “devotion to the U.S. Constitution.” But Steve Forbes, CEO of Forbes Inc. and perennial GOP presidential candidate, celebrated Byrd’s death, declaring that it was “good news” for those opposed to Wall Street reform:



Byrd’s death does indeed imperil the final passage of financial reform bill, but Forbes could show a little more respect by hiding his glee at the prospect of his Wall Street friends getting off the hook. The major threat to the bill comes from Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA), who has threatened to vote against the measure, even though he secured a special deal and has been supportive thus far. Forbes is a co-chair of the corporate-funded astroturf group FreedomWorks, which helped Brown win his seat in January. (HT: Wonkette)

The only respect they know was a song by Aretha Franklin.

They'd make her come in through the servants' entrance.

Every time the guy smiles, he looks like the neighborhood sex offender.

I mean, really? Sheesh...

coming from a representative of the current bigot party, that's quite rich.

They've been stealing progress, now they're stealing money from people who have nowhere else to turn.

All of you asshole Republicants can simply FUCK OFF.

over Wellstone's death. Disgusting. :eyes: :puke:

eom

He is clearly insufficiently taxed.

His pro-ruling class, anti-worker, born to wealth, buck toothed, right wing ass can bite me.

He's always been a horse's ass.

:eyes:

He is another Idiot Frat Boy that, if he were born into another family, would be unqualified to work in fast food.
