Less than a minute into debate - Greene attacks Meek
06/22/2010
Well that didn't take long....Jeff Greene barely gets his opening remarks underway
before he blames Kendrick Meek for mortgage crisis and all the other ills of the world.
Meek brags about getting on the ballot by petition, campaigning since Jan. 2009 and being a lifelong Democrat.
1st question goes to Meek and it's about the Stackhouse controversy....
Meek says he "supports" the arrest of Stackhouse. "Nothing I have done has been improper."
Greene says it was "very much improper..." "The St. Petersburg Times Kendrick called you clueless or worse" He tells Meek he should ask for a House ethics investigation.
Greene hammers at the $90,000 Stackhouse was paying Meek's mother - former U.S. Rep. Carrie Meek - and the new Escalade Stackhouse gave her.
Meeks says - "Mr. Greene appears to want to throw grenades...when he is the king of credit default swaps"
Instant analysis - First round goes to Greene.
Second question goes to Greene - question whether he regrets how he made his money. Bascially he says no - "my investment was against the biggest banks on Wall Street" He blames Congress for allowing loose bank regulations for the home loan crisis.
