What Mozilo did was what my conservative friends would call "recognizing an opportunity."

I swear to God that is EXACTLY what my two Republicans friends would say.

My conservative friends would say, "He worked hard all his life for his position and has earned every penny of his money!"

They would be the first to scream though if they found out that their retirement account was going in the tank as part of the hedge funds that went belly up!

They better not look too closely at their retirement acoounts. That stuff spread like metastasizing cancer.
