Someone Should Make an Opera about former Tyco CEO Kozlowski

In the spirit of reaching across the aisle bipartisanship I think people should compose more opera - and I suggest it should be about Kozlowski's evil wife as the evil villain. Admittedly, Pelosi never actually said unemployed Americans should spend more times composing opera, that anecdote was only extrapolated from Mark Steyn from Steyn, Mark. The [u]ndocumented Mark Steyn: Don't Say You Weren't Warned. , 2014. Print.

So what jobs will Americans get to do? We dignify the new age as “the knowledge economy,” although, to the casual observer, it doesn’t seem to require a lot of knowledge. One of the advantages of Obamacare, according to Nancy Pelosi, is that it will liberate the citizenry: “Think of an economy where people could be an artist or a photographer or a writer without worrying about keeping their day job in order to have health insurance.” It’s certainly true that employer-based health coverage distorts the job market, but what’s more likely in a world without work? A new golden age of American sculpture
and opera? Or millions more people who live vicariously through celebrity gossip and electronic diversions? One of the differences between government health care in America compared to, say, Sweden is the costs of obesity, heart disease, childhood diabetes, etc. In an ever more sedentary society where fewer and fewer have to get up to go to work in the morning, is it likely that those trends will diminish or increase?

Mrs. Kozlowski should be cast as Lady MacBeth, or possibly the Tory whore Peggy Shippen  who caused poor Benedict Arnold to become a traitor, as depicted in "Drunk History"











It's obvious old, fat bald headed guy Kozlowski

embezzled money from his company to woo his rather matronly looking lady friend

who then kicked him when he's down by divorcing him after he went to prison. Evil heifer. 

From "American Greed" it's obvious Koslowski's money grubbing Tory whore wife only married him for his money and partied with him when he had it, and ditched him when he didn't:

Maremont: Find ammunition to let Tyco avoid paying Dennis a lot of money



Narrator: David Boies assembles a team of more than one hundred lawyers and accountants. Together, they pore through Tyco's accounts. What they find is nothing short of shocking.  Tens of millions of dollars have been pilfered from Tyco for Kozlowski's personal use.

Maremont: I just remmeber, uh,    hearing about these things and finding them out and just  saying, "That's amazing! You know, I can't believe that's true!" I mean, this can't be the same Dennis Kozlowski that I've known for seven or eight years. How could he have done that? [his evil Tory wife]


Narrator: Perhaps the most sensational example of Kozlowski's spending is a party on the Mediteranian island of Sardinia in the summer of 2001 where half of the $2.1 million   tab is paid for by Tyco .

Maremont: The second wife [Tory whore] Karen, was turning forty and he wants to throw a party for her. By all accounts he spent most of the summer  cruising around in this yacht, the Endeavour, over in Sardinia, so he has this big party for her.



[crowd sings "Happy Birthday to Kozlowski's Tory whore wife]


Maremont: Tyco secretarial party machine planned this lavish party for his wife in Sardinia


 Jimmy Buffet: Yes, it's me, let's rock!


Narrator:  Jimmy Buffet performs and collects a cool quarter of a million dollars.


Maremont: They had some what tasteless Gladiator looking guys, young women  dressed up in togas throwing rose petals in the pool . These guys with sort of oiled bodies posing like this on pedastals [strikes a muscle man pose]

Kozlowski: I felt bad, you know, I felt horrible about it, you know?  It was tacky. I felt that some of it was in bad taste but it was what it was. It was planned, you know, by somebody  who had a totally different sense of humor than I had, you know? I don't remmeber having a  particularly good time. I've been to better parties in my fraternity days in college.


Narrator: Though the $2.1 million  birthday party is sensational, it's small potatoes compared to the rest of Kozlowski's questionable spending

Narrator: Now that Kozlowski is behind bars even his critics are left wondering if the punishment fits the crime.

Newsweek Deniel Gross : I think that's a pretty harsh sentence compared with other white collar crime that we saw in the 1990s. This company [ Tyco ] did not go bankrupt. The employees did not lose all of their 401Ks as happened in Worldcomm. It's still a going concern. He obviously crossed several lines and paid the price, being convicted lose a lot of his assets. You know I think upon further reflection,  it does seem like a pretty long sentence.

Narrator: When asked what he'd do differently with  life, Kozlowski denies doing anything wrong.

Kozlowski: I don't know what I wish I do know I can't go back anything. I do wish I had better documentation . I do wish I had more seasoned people running the compensation system at Tyco. 

Narrator: One week after this interview, Kozlowski's appeal for a new trial was denied.

🤚On the one hand I feel sorry for former Tyco CEO Kozlowski went to prison

✋But on the other hand he's unrepentant & only lesson he learned was to hire more dishonest CPAs to cook the books 😒 pic.twitter.com/Gckv0UAknc

Kozlowski: I've read anybody's autobiography from Che Guevara to Ronald Reagan, so the gamut of virtually of anybody out there.

Narrator:  Karen Kozlowski filed for divorce a year after her husband's conviction [Tory whore]. 

From "60 Minutes"

From March 22, 2007 Dennis Kozlowski: Prisoner 05A4820 : Morley Safer Speaks With The Ex-Tyco Chief Behind Bars

And then there was the 40th birthday party for Kozlowski's wife Karen on Sardinia. It was togas galore, a four day festival of flesh. Jimmy Buffett was flown in for the music and guests were treated to a special cake: an anatomically correct woman with exploding breasts.
The cost of the party was over $2 million; since Kozlowski claimed it was in part a work retreat, Tyco footed half the bill.
During the trial, jurors were shown a tape of the party. Kozlowski says it was "absolutely horrible."
"It was over the top, you know. I was taken aback by it, but I smiled and worked my through it, wanted the night to end as fast as I could," he recalls.
"Donald Trump called your behavior tacky," Safer remarks.
"Tacky? Tacky from Donald Trump?" Kozlowski replies. "Wow. But he would know."
Those excesses may have been tacky, but tacky doesn't send you to jail. Far more serious was the allegation that Kozlowski literally stole money from Tyco.
He and his second-in-command Mark Swartz were charged with stealing $170 million and pocketing an additional $430 million through the sale of company stock, while lying about Tyco's financial condition.

This is a classic story of the Prodigal Son, who had lots of fair weather "friends" as long as he had money to spend, but ended up alone, living in a pig sty when he lost all his money. Again, Kozlowski's wife was an evil, money grubbing Tory whore  heifer.

In the meantime, he spends much of his time in prison focused on his appeal. He can receive visitors on the weekends, but he says he has few friends left.
"In the final analysis, most of the people were close to you because of your power and your wealth?" Safer asks.
"That's correct. And they wanted to share in that. That was probably 90 percent of the people in my life," Kozlowski says.
And it is not just his friends who have left him – he and his wife Karen are divorcing.
Asked if the marriage was all about money, Kozlowski says, "Morley, we're in the middle of a divorce and agreement. I'm not going to say anything about that, you know, at this time."
