Mutual Fund Madness
Yay, more financial scandals, just what we needed! Looks like some mutual fund managers were engaging in improper trading by timing their fund trades. Any bets on who gets blamed first, Bush or Clinton? I'm going with someone blaming Bush first ("The evil Bushies in league with the big bad corporations!"), with the inevitable follow-ups of "It started under the Clinton administration, therefore it's his fault!"
Bah, humbug. Neither of them is at all closely involved with mutual fund management. Wall Street scandals go much further back than that. They're all about greed, not politics. Isn't greed one of the seven deadly sins, thus proving its existence predates anyone's favorite political punching bags?

Greed is one of the seven deadly sins, but it's listed as "Avarice".
