"You Know Something? You're A F-king A-hole": Iowa Man Confronts Gingrich (Video)

Ah, live confrontations are the greatest thing since Paulson's mangled pinky.

GOP presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich got an uncensored earful from an Iowa man during a campaign stop Tuesday.  In a moment captured on camera, the man, dressed in camouflage, approached the former House Speaker in a grocery store and told him to his face, “You know something? You’re a f–king asshole.”

Gingrich answers, “No I am not!”

“Yes,” the man said.

“It’s a free country,” Gingrich is heard saying as the clip ends.

Senators Say Bernanke Promises Fed Won't Bailout Europe

SOURCE - WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke told Senate Republicans in a closed-door meeting Wednesday that he has no plans to bail out Europe, according a report on WSJ.com quoting Sen. Bob Corker, a Republican from Tennessee, who attended the meeting. "I think people walked away knowing he has no intentions whatsoever of furthering U.S. involvement in the crisis," Corker told reporters after the briefing. Bernanke also told lawmakers that the U.S. economy can be hit if Europe starts to unravel, said Sen. Mike Johanns, a Republican from Nebraska. Sen. Richard Shelby, the Republican chairman of the Senate Banking committee, said that the Fed chairman spoke with some candor about the crisis. "The situation is bleak," Shelby said.

Larry Summers On Paul Volcker & Obama's Banking Proposal, Glass-Steagall Lite (VIDEO)

For the Volcker Rule to "work," nit-wit journalists have to start writing about it as if it's really about regulation, not simply playing politics with regulation. For the Volcker Rule to "work," we need to see another stupid cat fight between pundits on the "left" and those on the "right." For the Volcker Rule to "work," we need to get all worked up over whether the proposed regulation is "anti-capitalist," or whether it prevents "capitalism" from destroying itself.

For the Volcker Rule to "work," everyone in D.C. and the media must pretend that this is something besides another red herring to distract us from the real issues at hand, namely Too Big To Fail, ongoing taxpayer subsidies of Jamie Dimon and Lloyd Blankfein's salaries and bonuses, and the fact that widespread FRAUD continues to go unpunished at the banks while the banks continue to turn the screws on their customers with more and more fees.
