Duhhh. And this gives The One the chance to posture. OK, OK. But then, why did he (and W before him) hand out $173 billion of our tax dollars to these greedy idiots, who lost the money in the first place, by gambling with other people's savings? Having a free market entails letting greedy idiots go bankrupt. As is, we are borrowing the worst aspects of both systems (capitalism and socialism), for the crummiest synthesis since Juan and Evita Perón messed up Argentina.
REGURGE for Jake Tapper exposing the posturer. Double duh...

Yet another financial genius, worth his weight in gold. Not.
I'd say if you can make $32M while doing an abysmal job, you are a genius.
Hah! But he didn't really make it. Most of it was Monopoly money, ie, stock in his own bank. He ran the bank into the ground, stock lost over 90% of its value, now his pay is closer to $3 million than $32 million. Still, a lot of mullah for running a big bank like City into the ground. I could have done it for half the price.
vikram made out like a pandit
Right-o. You stole my line -- I also thought of it, but didn't put it in writing.
By the way, we should have a gallery of rogues (or, at least, standard FCP pinatas), and make some pithy comments on each one.
I thought you've been the piñata since you glowingly posted Farthead Zakaria. Am I wrong?
Well, an on-again, off again piñata. So OK, I fucked up. How long are you gonna beat on that?
A worthy suggestion.
I think I'm turning Japanese...
Good find, Mr Rot.
TAPPER: ... that you guys know what happened to the previous billions before you hand over this next $30 billion.
GIBBS: Yes — yes.
TAPPER: I guess it's like $150 billion before, you guys are confident...
GIBBS: Yes.
Yeah, sure. This guy Gibbs is both a slimeball, and and idiot -- not an uncommon combination. Who's Jake Tapper, though? He's good. We still have a press that asks tough questions, instead of fawning, Pepe style?
In the meantime. Tax dollars hard at work.
Tapper is very much hated at HuffPo and Wonkette. Apperently he boned Monica Lewinsky at some point (Wonkette).
No accounting for taste, but yeah, he seems not to be too wowed by the Obadomites to ask tough questions.
Another update. Surprise, surprise. Not.
comical in the extreme.
