    You would be surprised how much he is disliked and distrusted in government circles. And not just our own.

    I run in the right circles... I get a lot of stuff unfiltered...

    Your average person isn't as biased as your average newsroom editor is. THEY have their job on the line if they don't toe the line their bosses demand they follow... Joe Average just gives it straight... without a sugar coating... about both the people they like and those they don't. And they can be even more critical of the people they like...

    As opposed to getting it from those who get tingles up their leg thinking about him?

    Um... fox news wasn't the station that originally aired it... it was a local news station.

    It was funny as hell... but damn... she got through not one but all four of those without it registering what she said? SLOW might be an understatement.

    You see . Sen Durbin thinks that the only legitimate journalists are those who got a media paycheck . But you can find plenty examples of this type of fail from many local outlets ,and even some big prime time losers like Dan Rather .

    Only to idiots so eager to mock Fox News they didn't stop to see it was a local Oakland TV station.

    Hello again,

    I'm reminded of when O'Reilly read an email from Jack Mehoff.

    Later, he claimed that it was HIS idea... Nahhhhh...

    Congratulations to our newest government snoop, Richard Cordray of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, whose nomination was moved forward when Republicans caved over the threatened "nuclear option" and switched their votes (Lindsey Graham, you're an annoying turd bucket).

    Sen. Enzi of Wyoming explains the good news to Americans...



    Partial transcript:

    Quote:

    Why is this nomination important? Once the director is approved… by the Senate, we no longer have any control over a bureau that collects everyone’s financial records in detail and can cancel a loan 180 days even if both parties to the loan are happy. … The reason this is of the utmost concern to me and has been for the past three years is the lack of Congressional oversight and blatant privacy intrusions of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the CFPB. … I said, this bill was supposed to be about regulating Wall Street. Instead, it’s creating a Google Earth on every financial transaction. That’s right, the government will be able to see every detail of your finances. Your permission? Not needed. They can look at your transactions from the 50,000 foot perspective, or they can look right down to the tiny details of the time and place where you pulled cash out of an ATM. … If your data’s being collected, you do not have the option to opt out. Nor does the CFPB need any kind of permission from you to gather your personal financial information.
    What could go wrong?

    I know, it's for our own protection... or rather for the protection of Obama's big bank buddies. Come on ex, occupy a bank!

    Quite certain every Washington politician has a bank buddy. It's truly a bi-partisan wonder.

    Goober Graham is a prototypical inside the beltway Republic .
    The government is going after former Goldman Sachs trader Fabrice P. Tourre aka “Fabulous Fab” and doing nothing about the big wigs there that write the checks to the Dems. GS of course set up Tourre for the fall .while he will be wearing the orange jump suit, they walk with the bank paying a fine .

    Referring back to my "what could go wrong" question above...

    Dodd-Frank regulations would fill 28 copies of 'War and Peace'

    So far...

    What could go wrong?
