Scrushy Not Guilty

Our insider at the court house in Alabama is reporting that Richard M. Scrushy, former CEO of HealthSouth, has been found NOT GUILTY on ALL counts.






Update: Apparently, the scene at the courthouse looks something like this:



Update: The legitimate press has it now (though you saw it here first!):

From the NYTimes: "Jurors acquitted HealthSouth Corp. founder and fired Chief Executive Richard Scrushy on Tuesday of all charges related to a $2.7 billion earnings overstatement at the rehabilitation and medical services chain.

"Scrushy had been charged with fraud, false corporate reporting and making false statements to regulators. He was the first CEO charged under the Sarbanes-Oxley corporate reporting law.

"Scrushy blamed the massive accounting scheme on subordinates including all five finance chiefs who served under him at HealthSouth.

"In all, 15 former HealthSouth executives have pleaded guilty since 2003, when the scandal erupted publicly and drove the company to the brink of bankruptcy."

Update: Our source on the scene says that upon leaving the courthouse everyone is going to get a drink at Lou's Pub.

Update: Woo, infographic from CNN:

Christian Finnegan is Hot!

Well, we all are. But Christian especially. The following excerpt is from his "Tower of Hubris" blog:

"Did you ever notice how short the interval is between 'Boy, I can't wait for Summer!' and 'Fuck THIS shit.'? In New York, I think that 'Hooray for warm weather' period lasted about five days this year. Now it's all just a sweaty malaise. I don't know what the weather has been like where YOU live, but here in New York City, it's been like a marathon runner's nutsack for at least two weeks. The heat makes me loathe every thing and every one. And yet I'm too exhausted to actually do or say anything about it. So I just sit around all day in a near-vegetative state, occasionally showing my faint disgust for people, places and things by rolling my eyes—like Terri Schiavo with a bad attitude."
