More of that good, old change we can believe in, right?
Vice presidential candidate Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden and brother James Biden owe $1 million to SimmonsCooper law firm of East Alton from a hedge fund buyout that fell apart in 2006.
SimmonsCooper attorneys have contributed hundreds of thousands to campaigns of Senator Biden, his other son Beau Biden, and John Markell, current candidate for governor, while turning Delaware into a national magnet for asbestos lawsuits.
In the hedge fund case, Hunter Biden and James Biden seek to shift their debt to former partner Joseph Lotito through counterclaims in a fraud suit he filed against them.
New York State Supreme Court Justice Bernard Fried rejected their bid in May, ruling that they should have checked out the fund more carefully.
“These counterclaims, conditionally pleaded, do not rest on a justiciable controversy, but seek only to foment uncertainty and chaos between the parties in the event that plaintiff is successful in presenting the main claims,” Fried wrote.
“Such pleading will not be countenanced,” he wrote. (emphasis added)
That is a page out of the Democrat playbook – in fact, we’ve seen it massively on display these past few days as Democrats have sought to shift all blame away from Frank and Dodd on the financial meltdown, blame Republicans like McCain who actually tried to prevent the mess from happening and, of course, hog all credit for anything good which might come out of this financial meltdown…in other words they, “seek only to foment uncertainty and chaos between the parties in the event that plaintiff is successful in presenting the main claims”. So far, at first blush, its had some success – as we can see in Obama rising in the polls all the way back up to where he was a month ago…before he crashed and burned because, well, he is a zero entirely out of his depth. Given that McCain has been acting like a patriot and a statesman, his Democratic opponents have been given free hand to spin and lie like Biden boys trying to get out of a million dollar debt…but the time is swift approaching when McCain will back at it, beating Obama like a drum.
Meanwhile, what of this, Democrats? Here’s the son and brother of your VP candidate who are mixed up in just the sort of corrupt financial BS which was at the heart of our financial crisis…you gonna call for Biden to get the boot? Or will you just swallow this along with everything else?
