Let's hope Blackie is involved!

4. I'd be surprised if he isn't

I think he probably has his hands in deep.

2. Is this thing going to get media legs and potentially topple Bush?

3. Only if the media gets its head out of its ass.

No.

5. This part got me

I wonder if there's anything there with it.

<Well-known Philadelphia conservative pundit Joe Watkins -- a former aide to ex-President George H.W. Bush as well as Dan Quayle -- was managing director in the 1990s and early 2000s of the firm now wrapped up in a fast-growing GOP political scandal.

Watkins, a frequent guest on CNN and other cable networks, was a managing director and principal of MDL Capital Management when it first started doing business with Ohio in 1998. But he reportedly left shortly before 2003, when Ohio officials teamed up with MDL on a new hedge fund investment that lost a whopping $225 million in workers' compensation funds. >
