1. He will seriously damage himself for me if he chooses anyone
other than Elizabeth Warren.

3. Well I already see them hard at work making that happen.
Dodd just came out and said she may not have 60 votes for confirmation.

That is the first shot across the Progressive bow.

6. Gordon Gekko is modeled from Ivan Boetsky
who I believe is banned for life from the securities industry.

I am for Warren.

7. I briefly thought you meant the Geico Gecko or Gordon as
his toad and frog friends know him as. Seriously, was clueless I don't remember the movie Wall Street.
