If they ( the Feds) do not follow that money then in my opinion NO justice will have been served.

Re Delaughter at 39 I totally agree. Between Blake’s seed money and Delaughter/Peters is where most of the real dirt can be found.

jim: good point . Maybe Feds should just focus on these two matters: 1. The 50, 2. Delaughter. That would clear alot of corruption. IMO.

NMC, I was not inferring that you are folo follow Blake’s money trail –you have done so much to date and we owe you so many thanks. My position is that the $50 million is probably some of the most dirty and most tainted money involved in this entire case/cases. I think it would be most interesting to see where it all wound up.

There was a letter to the editor published in the Oxford Eagle today from the creator of the "free dickey " site. Also, I think it’s kind of funny that they mispelled his name – isn’t it Dickie?

It is. And it is funny.

I thought it interesting the “free dicky” site’s url is

“svae-dickey-scruggs”

OK, I’ll “svae” Dickey!

SVAE away!

hmmm $10 mil to P.L. Blake and a $10 mil contribution by Ben Lebow. Just coincidental I’m sure.

“Drexel’s College of Business and Administration was named the Bennett S. LeBow College of Business in his honor after a contribution of $10 million to the university.”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bennett_S._LeBow

Interesting comments from Lebow gushing about Scruggs and Moore:

“…Q: Let me change the subject on you a little bit, just because we’re focusing to a certain extent on the attorneys general and what happened. When you first met Dick Scruggs and Mike Moore, what did you make of them?

Lebow: I thought they were really crusaders.

Q: Moore was a crusader?

Lebow: Absolute crusader. He was crusading for something he believed in. And I was very impressed by his record. And it turns out he was a hell of a crusader…General Moore. It turns out he was right all along. And I was impressed.

Q: Not your average politician?

Lebow: No, not your average politician.

Q: Why not?

Lebow: He had a focus. He and Dickey Scruggs wanted to accomplish something, and they went for it, you know, all the way. And they did it, and they deserve all the credit that they get….”

I think it is very interesting to read the names of the people that are signing the petition. One person I’m pretty sure worked at his firm (does anyone know what is happening with David Shelton – one of the partners?) and another is the wife of one of the defense attorneys for Sid.

Less likelihood of wandering photographers, late at night under the quiet cover of darkness. Everything doesn’t have to be in the paper, complete with pictures does it? Were they taking it down with loving tenderness, or just helter skelter ripping and slashing. Though this is nothing on the scale of tearing down the Berlin wall…some type of closure from seeing it done would have been nice. Khayat could have given a lil speech, “tho we now quickly remove the names from this buildings of brick and stone, NOTHING can ever make us remove their names from the great donor lists or our hearts.”
