GE refutes charges of crony capitalism: “We are not receiving special treatment…” Tim Carney of the Washington Examiner responds:“GE, again, spends more on lobbying than any other company. Its lobbyists include Linda Daschle, whose husband Tom was the Senate Majority Leader and today is a confidant of Obama.” Since GE’s not getting any special treatment, we surmise they’re paying Linda because she’s such fun at the annual picnic. BTW, on the same website is an article “GE, Partner Announce 300 Megawatt Deal for Two Wind Farms in Illinois.” Yep, we gotta admit, wind and solar energy are two business lines absolutely devoid of rent-seeking and crony capitalism. Pardon us.
