Not a particularly huge fan of Tim Geithner, but the cross-examination by most of these idiotic congressman is blatant posturing for their constituents.
Jackasses.
Fun drinking game might be...drink every time someone on the panel says, 'the American people'
We would all be fucking hammered after the first ten minutes! :tongue:
Both parties do it. And both take the liberty to find a troubled situation and do one of the following:
-act angry
-look surprised that ______ could happen
-puff their wrinkly white chests/necks out
-throw in the latest buzzwords (e.g. "Main Street)
-blather on the steps of the Capitol about how they will save us
When all along they know full well... all the in's and out's and corruption and backhandedness.
It's such a Punch and Judy show! Everybody knows that the Republicans are lying windbags and now the Dems are playing their hands as well.
Nothing will turn a Democrat's stomach like watching the WACO hearings and seeing Chuck Schumer and Joe Biden act like complete ASSHOLES!!!
Congress never has any fucking solutions... they are all bought and sold to the highest bidder which usually means that the little people just pay higher fucking interest rates while everyone's standard of living keeps falling.
Now we are bailing out the same assholes who are bankrupting our sad sack of a country and ultimately, the world.
and just where are our politicians who are supposed to stand up for the people?
I hate this planet, I've never liked it here... the rules by which this planet runs are total bullshit. The meanest and toughest animals do well and everything else can go fuck themselves.
A planet that runs on violence and terror. Complete and utter crap.
