So what if taxpayers were getting fucked. They had it coming, what with their short skirts and the stiletto heels they wore at the Obama 2008 victory party. Eric Wesoff, Greentech:
While Solyndra burned, the executives fiddled — and kept feeding themselves healthy bonuses.
Dana Hull of the San Jose Mercury News read the 277-page Solyndra bankruptcy documents so you wouldn’t have to. She uncovered the fact that Solyndra bankruptcy law firm Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher earned $616,838 this summer — including $275,000 on August 19. (Here’s a link to download the bankruptcy document.)
I took a look at the document and it appears that executives were provided substantial bonuses at the same time that the firm was bleeding cash and soon to lay off 1,100 employees with little notice or continuing health care benefits.

I’m shocked.
Oh right, I’m not. Sorry. Carry on.
Oh hey, there’s that twitter thing on the right sidebar now.
(Looks like it has a problem with quotation marks and the “View more tweets” at the bottom goes 404.)
It’s a good thing we don’t judge Jeff’s efficacy as an Outlaw blogger speaking truth to power with his insufficient, untimely and poor campaign management.
This is just another example of the rampant cronyism and corruption in our government.
Consider also what just happened in a Texas federal court described at WorldNetDaily A Dallas business owner was involved in a civil dispute and paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to lawyers, and when he objected to additional excessive fees after the case settled, they had a “friendly” judge seize all of his possessions, without any notice or hearing, and essentially ordered him to be an involuntary servant to the lawyers under “house arrest”.
