Paul O'Neill and Swiss bank accounts on The Daily Show

Edited on Wed Dec-08-04 02:56 PM by Goathead

One of the more interesting things that Paul O'Neill said last night on 'The Daily Show' was the comment about The Bush administration and Swiss bank accounts. Was he just making a generalization that the whole Bush administration is corrupt and that such corrupt individuals tend to hide their money in Swiss banks or do you think that he was recalling specific events when he made that comment. He has made similar comments before (scroll down to the bottom)

Per haps O'Neill is trying to point us in the direction of blowing the doors off the Bush administration by saying "follow the money" It sounded to me like he was recalling specific events when he made the 'Swiss bank account' comment.

he was thankful to Jon for the Daily Show and slammed the MSM.

It was great!

I also thought that the part about the Swiss Bank accounts was so damning, go get'um Paul!

3. If you haven't read the book yet-READ IT!

Very well written almost like a mystery.

I gained a lot of respect for O'Neill from that book-Self made man and the book really deals with decision making.

4. WOW!

For some reason the comedy central channel I have in LA does not have The Daily Show at 11pm.....maybe someone can help me here....It is channel 249 on DirectTV...maybe there is another channel...

Anyway, I am glad that O'Neill has been so courageous....who knew the chimperor would have the intelligence to hire a decent guy (and then fire him D'OH!). I also worry for O'Neill.....he may have a death wish. Don't get on any planes Paul!

I have direct TV too, so it's still channel 249.

6. Last night was great

O'Neill was brave and funny, I liked when Jon asked him about what was something good that came out of the administration and his answer was silence.
