	Smith (September 14 - September 20, 1995)
		You'd think that in view of the fact that Fife III and his wife Ann personally signed contracts guaranteeing to repay loans of $10 million taken from various union pension funds, that they'd try to do a little better--and be a lot quicker--at repaying their bad debts.
		The Symingtons almost certainly have more than $10 million at their disposal--or $8.8 or $11.4--and you can rest assured that when it comes to their own family budget--for housing, transportation, entertainment, clothing and travel, education for the kids, eyebrow pencils for Fife--that much and more will be found and spent.
		Republicans like Fife Symington have stolen more from American taxpayers in the form of tax subsidies, bad debt and outright fraud--welfare for the rich--than all the unwed mothers in the country could ever imagine.

		According to Symington, he and current Gov. Janet Napolitano would be 'complete opposites.' Indeed, Napolitano ran for office in considerable part by condemning the fiscal policies of the 1990s, mostly the handiwork of Symington.

		For those committed to judging Symington exclusively as a soulless, blue-blood developer turned politician turned bankrupt, indicted enemy of the people, Fife walking off the public stage as a pastry chef was a nearly perfect denouement.
		Really, the reason Symington's announcement shocked so many of us was because the knee-jerk, first-impulse reaction to such news was that he could not possibly be serious because he could not possibly win.
		We had hints that Symington was preparing to re-enter politics when he formed up with opponents of the transportation-funding ballot measure last fall.

		Still, Symington has the nerve to label her a "liberal democrat" in his letter, easily slipping around the fact that it was another "liberal Democrat", Bill Clinton, who pardoned him.
		Symington can't be expected to very good at math, though, not when every business venture he ever took upon his shoulders became a "multi-million dollar failure", in the words of the attorney who successfully sued him on behalf of a bilked pension fund.
