76. After catching a bit of the dog and pony show
so called the financial congressional hearing, it is surprising that these complete inane dolts kept the ponzi scheme in the air as long as they did.

And how sickening is it watching each congresscritter fawn all over Paulson and Bernanke. Really, these are the guys in charge?
