Betsy Newmark posts with a question:
"Will every mention of his name now be preceded by the words 'convicted felon?'"She continues :
It would seem appropriate for a man found guilty of insider trading.Fighting the case for 17 years?
George Soros's bid to overturn an insider-trading conviction was rejected by France's highest appeals court, ending the billionaire's fight to erase a legal stain on his 40-year investing career.
The Court of Cassation, the tribunal of last resort in France, ended its review of a March 2005 judgment that Soros broke insider-trading laws when he bought Societe Generale SA shares in 1988 with the knowledge that the bank might be a takeover target. The Hungary-born financier has been fighting the case for 17 years.
Goodness, that's almost as long as Sen. Kerry's carried in his briefcase the "magic hat" he says a CIA agent - no wait - it was a Navy Seal - gave him as he ferried the fellow on a secret mission into Cambodia at Christmas.
Or was it Formosa at Easter?
Anyway, one of them or some other place and time I'm sure.
Now to answer Betsy's question :
Will every mention of his name now be preceded by the words "convicted felon?"Yes, if Soros leaves the America-bashing left and becomes a conservative.
Great question, Betsy. The croissants are on me.

Just so you know, Soros actually is center-right. His dislike of Bush comes from his anti-authoritarian inclinations.
