Light in the pants: For the cynical this may not come as a surprise, but Bush's tough talk last summer about "tough new rules" for employee retirement security is one vaporous adenum, and the stress on stricter monitoring of insider trading, CEO and Board malfecence, et al. was apparently disengenuous as Bush fights against budget increases for SEC, plus: "President Bush signed the law with much fanfare and a promise that his administration would go after corporate crooks as aggressively as it has hunted terrorists." Given that the hunt for terrorists isn't going so well I guess we know what to expect.
