New York - (Ass Mess): Wall Street reacted sharply Thursday amid persistent rumors that George W Bush is to be outed for deliberately leaning on British prosecutors to quash the cash-for-peerages police investigation which last week exonerated ex-UK prime Monster Tony Blair, his blood-sister and former official Downing Street Gatekeeper Ruth Turner, his blind-trust portfolio bagman and former top WMD fantasist Lord Levy and Chris 'Bung' Evans, Labour Party sperm donor and father of baby Leo Blair.
The Dow Jones plunged a further 200 points at the opening of business as trans-atlantic reports confirmed that Bush, Veep Dick Cheney and Attorney General Alberto Gonzales are to be named as being at the heart of the conspiracy to gag the peerages probe prosecutors, the investigating police officers and all politicians involved in the 16 month enquiry.
Last month Bush and Cheney were named in London as the reason Blair ordered the end of the Serious Fraud Office's ten year probe into a £1.2 billion slush fund that paid former Saudi ambassador to the US Prince Bandar from taxpayers' money funnelled directly from Ministry of Defence accounts via the state arms dealer BAE Systems.
A spokesman for the New York Stock Exchange said today it had instituted downside trading curbs at 11am after being told to brace itself for some very bad news that personally implicates the Bush Administration in the suborning of British witnesses in both police probes.
US stocks then fell sharply on repeated concerns about deterioration in UK confidence in its justice system - in a parallel scenario voiced repeatedly over the last feew weeks by the Senate Judiciary Committee probing the 2006 firing of eight US prosecutors by Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.
Today's New York Stock Exchange Composite Index was down over 2% at 205.45.
"We are seeing just the tip of the iceberg here," a Wall Street source confirmed today.
