I know it's a terrible photoshop, but I just had to. As was reported on QuorumReport and BOR, James Leininger's KCI lost a lawsuit that caused his company's stock to plummet 41%. This ended up costing him about $221 million dollars. Wow that's a lot of House seats. Still unanswered is why Cerveha and the Texas Employees Retirement System had invested in this company. Choice quote of the day goes to Chris Bell spokesman Jason Stanford:

"Losing $1.5 million in retirement money is the cost of corruption. James Leininger is perhaps the biggest Republican donor in Texas. Rick Perry and Carole Strayhorn should immediately donate every cent they have ever received from him to the Texas Employee Retirement System to help recoup the loss."
