Bonfire of the Absurdities in News New Format

Lawyer Liz Warren helped insurance companies establish “bankruptcy strategy”

Consumer advocate Warren helped establish the bankruptcy strategy for insurance companies to avoid crushing lawsuits. In short, go bankrupt to avoid paying victims. Middle class warrior Warren was once a consultant for Travelers Insurance company. Dems like Warren have a love-hate relationship with the insurance industry – they love ’em, except when the cameras are on, then they hate ’em.

This reminds me of Mrs. BO during her days at the U of C hospital, where she came up with the idea of saving money by shipping poor people to other, less politically connected hospitals.

  Joe Redfield is correct, but he's not telling the whole story. Michelle Obama's job was to redirect undesirables to other hospitals, & when she worked there, she made about $130,000. When Barack got elected to IL assembly, she started making $317,000, & her possition was so important, they did'nt replace her when she quit when Barack got elected to the Senate. Almost looks like a political payoff.

  Was that before or after she was dis-barred for perjury?

    Uh, not to be Olivia here, bu t she wasn't disbarred. She placed her license on "inactive" status because she didn't need the license and was too cheap to pay all the fees, insurance, etc required for an active license.

      Yeah, but that's probably kept her out of the paddy wagon. I never believe a politician who gives up their license to practice law because it's "just too much bother".

My seven year-old nephew asked me today, "Uncle Ruben, what does the word 'hypocrite' mean?" I told him, "Look it up, Man."

Here is what he found:
