      When I saw this on tv, i couldn't understand how they could even make the comparison.

      I also couldn't believe how much Steve Forbes enjoys lying.

      Bernie Madoff is a piker compared to the likes of Bush's cronies, including Haliburton and the other contractors who got no bid contracts for work in Iraq, and then stole everything they could. There are BILLIONS, possibly a trillion dollars GONE, with no accountability, no goods and no services. Where was Fox "News" on that?

        The worst no-bid contract scam I ever heard of was one for sludge removal after Hurricane Katrina.  Haliburton was piad (something like) $20 per cubic yard of sludge removed by the federal gov't.  And all they did was hire a local source to do it for (something like) $5 per cubic yard and pocketed the difference.  Disgusting.

      Apparently.... doing its job ----> Defending Republicans, conservatives, and right-wing ideologists... especially at the expense of the facts and truth!

      The corporate right-wing fascist machine is very proud of its creation!

      Well, the rich wealthy investor classes in America can rest assured that Roger Ailes has got their backs.

      So what is it, Forbes? Anything less than 10% tax on wealthy, capital and dividends is criminal? Putting the rates back to 1990s when we had enormous growth is bad, why?

      These guys do not know how outstandingly ridiculous they sound. Letting more millions lose their jobs & houses without assistance and gov't spending is better, HOW??

      B.S.!!! Everybody, even conservatives like myself, know that Dick Cheney and G. Bush plus Halliburton were the biggest scammers of the millennium. Obama would be second and THEN Maddoff.

          It was the biggest waste of money and lives ever. I used to think Vietnam was the worst atrocity ever but Iraq was *really* stupid. I hate it because I really do believe in a balance of power between the Democrats and the Republicans in Washington; however, I think Bush made it where no Republican will ever sit in the Oval Office for atleast a decade. I just hope Obama is everything people say he is because I don't think this country can afford another screwup after Bush.

      I think it's time for Fox to get the chill treatment again.  

      "Who killed more people - Dick Cheney or Attila the Hun?"
