But the SEC might just agree that breaking the ratings is a lesser evil than breaking Wall Street. After all, it's their turf, too...

Re: Anglo Disease watch (5) - just break (none / 1)
The question is how bad is it?. Is this just a moderate adjustment that is being prevented, or a big crash?

Maybe they're just trying to hold out until January 2009, so the crash doesn't happen under Bush's watch?

Can the last politician to go out the revolving door please turn the lights off?

There is no way they can postpone it so far. On the contrary, I think a 29-like crash before the election is what bushco wants: chaos, state of emergency, raise of the charismatic leader, etc, etc...
