Ahhh poor Curt Schilling---Big Gov not rescuing your sorry Republican Ass?

[trumad]

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Rhode Island's governor said Tuesday that former Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling is wrong to blame the state for any of his video gaming company's financial woes and to accuse the state of broken promises.

Schilling also said the state promised and did not deliver film tax credits for 38 Studios and refused to allow the company to defer a $1.1 million payment to the Economic Development Corp., forcing it to miss payroll on May 15.

Chafee would not offer details about the tax credits but disputed Schilling's account. A message left for Schilling was not immediately returned Tuesday.

He also told The AP he's more interested in protecting Rhode Island taxpayers than in responding to Schilling's claims.

38 Studios, which was lured to Rhode Island from Massachusetts in 2010 with a $75 million loan guarantee from the EDC, laid off its entire workforce last week, including about 300 employees in Providence and more in Maryland. The state would likely be responsible for some of 38 Studios' debts should it collapse.

There's better ways to express that though, I'm sure.

7. You are right. Here's the truth pleasantly. Unlike the media lies, Bain does not invest in failing

or distressed companies. They look for viable ones. 38 Studios would never be a company Bain would look at. There would be no money to pocket before layoffs and chapter 3 filings. The company is already broke.

10. Exactly. No one to rob.

Where's the fun in that?

6. Do me a big favor...

Re-edit your comment.

Thanks,

8. Done. Sorry

9. NP

Just trying to keep the douchebag alert nannies out of here.

4. Schilling would be

a drunk loudmouth cop if he couldn't pitch a baseball. I always try to imagine what someone would be if not for his name or his athletic skill. For instance, Bush would be the electronic department manager at walmart.

5. Dude

You just insulted every electronic department manager at walmart.

11. Produce department, maybe.

Takes a vegetable to know a vegetable...
