Alito Oil Soaked?
Business Week is reporting on Judge Alito's holdings..And whaddya know..He's an oil man! Thank Gawd fer that!

The skinny:
Court nominee Alito holdings top $615,000

OCT. 31 12:31 P.M. ET Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito has more than $615,000 in assets, including stock in Exxon Mobil Corp. worth more than $100,000, according to his 2004 financial disclosure statement.

Alito received the Exxon-Mobil stock, which could be worth as much as $250,000, as a bequest in May 2004. His disclosure form did not provide the source of the bequest, and the White House did not immediately respond to a request for more information.

While the Exxon-Mobil stock was his largest holding in 2004, Alito also owned stock worth $15,000 and $50,000 each in fast-food giant McDonalds and Intel, the computer chip maker; and stock worth less than $15,000 each in drug-maker Bristol Myers Sqibb and Disney.


Glory!

As I noted in the 'It's Alito: It's War!' entry below, this is 'change the subject Monday.' Let's put this one on a burner, but not lose sight of the other issues on the stove.

Victory shall yet be ours!
