Fred Eshelman: Whore or hypocrite? You decide.

Submitted by James on Wed, 06/30/2010 - 11:38am

Our friend Greg Flynn is up to his usual high standards with a piece today posted at Progressive Pulse on a creature named Fred Eshelman. Mr. Eshelman, whose clinical trials company has pulled in $600 million in federal money over the past ten years, is spending some of his hard-earned profits to rail against the machine that helped make him rich.

Now Eshelman has teamed up with Durham attorney John W. Marin and Lumberton businessman Murchison “Bo” Biggs to create a North Carolina focused conservative attack machine called “Real Jobs NC, Inc”. Biggs is a veteran of the North Carolina Retail Merchants Association and a director of the NC FreeEnterprise Foundation.

What an a$$hole.

Link over to the post noted above.

Excellent work by Greg.

PPD's "Free Enterprise" CEO is a hypocrite AND a whore -- sucking off the gummint teat.

But the poor can't have anymore "stimulus" money...because it's all going to the likes of Eshelman.

Meanwhile, the guardians of financial virtue credit rating idiots who stamped AAA on subprime loans, are now officially looking at downgrading each other.
