Steve Bartlett opened his mouth. A former Congress-critter who was promoted to be Wall Street's top Washington lobbyist, he is a perfect symbol of the infuriating corrupt coziness between financial elites and lawmakers. Yet Bartlett blithely says:
No, banks didn't commit fraud. Civil charges. No one is going to jail. Lather, rinse, repeat.
The folks at Blue Republican sent this clip our way.

Video - Bill Black and Amy Goodman in Kansas City - Oct. 19, 2011
I caught a part of this interview on the radio today. It's outstanding as Black has time to make his case without interrruption.
Complete transcript is inside.
This 2-minute clip claims that 25% of the global gold supply, approximately $355 billion, is underneath the Federal Reserve Bank of New York's building at 33 Liberty Street in downtown Manhattan. Of course, until we AUDIT THE FED, we can never know for certain if that much is actually there. According to the clip, you can book a tour to see the bars for yourself. In that case, seeing might be disbelieving.
Indiana University graduate and hilarious anti-Fed proselytizer Jim Grant holds court. It's a long clip so we have included the full transcript inside - It's worth the read.
Don't skip this clip. Chief of the Department Joseph Esposito, the highest ranking uniformed member of the NYPD, pulled his officers back with one hand and pushed protesters away with the other. He signaled to the protesters for calm, then patted his cops on the chests and shoulders, some of whom were visibly upset that their Chief was telling them to back off.
Congressional Video - Sen. Rand Paul Questions Tim Geithner - Oct. 18, 2011
Excellent exchange from earlier today. Paul nails Geithner for his role at the NY Fed and FOMC in keeping rates too low for too long contributing to the housing bubble. Geithner offers a weak excuse, but fails.
As large as the figure sounds, it might not be enough, and France can now officially kiss their AAA rating goodbye.
Hard not to like this guy.
