And isn't it ironic; doncha think

[BDBoop]

Why is that? Why are the people who did this damage just skating merrily away into the sunset.

 

[koshergrl]

Good grief.

 

[Mad Scientist]

Because Bankers run the country. If I stole $100 from a Bank I'd be in jail. But when John Corzine steals 2 Billion, nothing happens.

There's a reason for that.

 

[Oddball]

Who is Chris Hayes and why should I give a hoot in hell what about his navel contemplation?

 

[BDBoop]

Feeling lazy again, Squallball? Or still.

 

[Oddball]

I have no obligation to keep up to speed on various and sundry obscure leftloon polemicists.

 

[BDBoop]

Or anything, really.

 

[Warrior102]

Amazing how even a President can get away with fucking interns and lying under oath.

 

[BDBoop]

Deflection.

 

[Oddball]

Or anything, really.

I have a good handle on what platitudinous navel gazing and pretentious sloganeering looks like, and it's summed up nicely in your vapid OP.

Ever looked into a career in writing fruity lefty whackadoodle bumper stickers?

 

[Wiseacre]

Some combination of insufficient evidence, poorly writtten laws that are hard to prosecute, and the most inept DOJ in history? Not to mention regulators who don't know bunghole from hole in the ground.

You wouldn't be talking to me personally, would you? Keep in mind I saw Pale Ass' post about why he stepped down.

Franklin Raines, Jamie Gorelick, Jim Johnson, Barney Frank and Chris Dodd should each be serving 8,000 year prison sentences

 

[Warrior102]

Franklin Raines, Jamie Gorelick, Jim Johnson, Barney Frank and Chris Dodd should each be serving 8,000 year prison sentences

As should Bill Clinton

I don't know who he is either, but what he said was right on!

 

[California Girl]

I'm loving what BrainDead defines as 'deflection'. Clearly, the facts are inconvenient to her latest 'talking point'.

No, what he said is what we know as "non sequitur".

As outrageous as their racket is, banksters do both what they're allowed to do and what they're ordered to do (i.e. perfectly solvent banks forced to take bailout loot for the sake of appearances), while juicing baseball players didn't even violate the existing rules of the game....Put the banksters under oath in front of congress, and you risk blowing the lid off the whole incestuous affair.

But if we want to talk about real and verified criminal activity that has been completely swept under the rug, why hasn't Dianne Frenkenstein been run out of the Senate (and in fact been seated on another rather important Senate committee) for her deliberate graft, in funneling millions upon millions of defense contracts to her husband's arms company?...Couldn't have anything to do with that (D) by her name, could it?

Have you ever heard of Freddie and Fannie?

Do you have any idea what their role was in the meltdown? Hint: They were the binary financial black holes at the epicenter of it

Again... its those pesky details.
