I for one have had enough of all this talk of the Carlyle Group being anything other than a force for progress, goodness, and better apple pie for all concerned. They truly make the pie higher, and I hope you consider their exciting investment opportunities after withstanding this ad.

I believe that voice setting is "Oily corporate announcer #7"

1. CNBC would probably run a video of it not blink

2. Hmmm, did Bush Sr. leave Carlye almost a year ago?

There was a large stock transaction out of Carlye, we were at the time just speculating that it could be poppy Bush.

Republicans dropped legislation stopping offshore banking, especially good for hiding large transactions of much moolah.

3. good PR move for the campaign

like Richard Perle temporarily slinking away.

But it doesn't mean we shouldn't be attacking them on it... jeez, could you imagine if Roger Clinton and Dudley Bin Laden were in murky defense business together? The RW would go ballistic.

4. Indeed we should attack it, warily of past & present rhetoric.

Czarlye may NOW be a nicer group. What it WAS may be hidden in clever use of switching between past and present tenses. One person's dis-ingenuousness is another man's job.

I hit that z by accident, and liked it there!

5. goddamnit!

I just KNOW that tonight when I lay my head down to rest, close my eyes, breathe deeply and just start to drift off..

I'm gonna hear that whispering voice "Carlucci...Baker...Bush..."

and on go all the lights in the house, peak oil be damned.

thanks alot for doing such a great fecking job.
