Video: Matt Taibbi Vs. Wall Street Apologist Megan McArdle On Goldman Sachs Criminal Behavior
Corrupt enterprise nirvana. You're guilty, everyone knows it, and no prosecution. Geithner took care of that with Cuomo, secretly, in 2008, in the name of system stability. Bill Black is writhing in the throes of a wretched death spiral.
What about Anton Valukas - you remember the Chicago lawyer handling the $600 billion Lehman bankruptcy - 2 years within the bowels of Dick Fuld's Repo 105 nut sack ought to qualify him for special financial prosecutor. Eric Holder is a dipshit, have we mentioned that lately.
Obankster, listen up. Wanna get reelected... Then tell Holder to name a Special Wall Street Prosecutor. Now.

Pat Buchanan: "You Have The Charlie Sheen Of Finance Running The IMF" (Fact: U.S. Gave The IMF 103 Million Ounces Of Gold)
Video can't be embedded.
Pat Buchanan on the sex scandal surrounding IMF director Dominique Strauss-Kahn: "I will tell you. Look, you have the Charlie Sheen of global finance running the IMF. The seriousness of it is this: He is dead as a presidential candidate in France. Good news for Sarkozy, he's out of the IMF, but more important, this is going to bring a focus on the IMF, which through the back door has been putting the American taxpayers on the hook to bail out Greece and Ireland and those European countries which are in fact bailouts of those European banks. And Ron Paul is right on top of this, and, Joe, I see this as bringing the IMF, at this critical point, when the bailouts in Europe are in big trouble, it is put a limelight on the one institution other than the European Central Bank, which is baling out these European countries and banks."
