2. These G-S guys should be in jail. No, wait!
Let's give them billions of taxpayer dollars instead. That'll show 'em!

4. Can the news cycle drum up this exchange?
Every time Levin recites "shitty", we'll all hear the "bleep" indicating "shitty" deal.

Rinse, lather, repeat.

For good measure, have the news commentator look at the camera, and finally ask, "No (bleep)shit?"

10. Zillionaires don't go to jail.
You have to fuck up as bad as Ken Ley before there's any chance of going to jail- and if there happens to be a Republican president in office who you were instrumental in getting elected you may still be able to fake your own death just in time to avoid serving any of your sentence, then slip off to the Caymans with a couple hundred grand and a new identity and retire.

6. I love it when Senators and Congressmen say shit or fuck or ass if necessary.
A republican would have said blank deal or crappy. Takes a mature person to use mature language in that room. Not really the point of the video but I really like Carl Levin. There are still some out there who are good.

8. Agree, those words serve a purpose. Not using them is as silly as overusing them.
It drives me nuts when people get all sanctimonious about swearing. The point is to make your point in as strong a way as possible. It means something very different to say something is "really bad news" versus saying that it is "really fucking bad". It catches your attention and makes a point.

7. I'm tired of Senators looking tough for the camera ...
... and when the camera's off they'll take these GS guys into the back room and give them the handjobs they've paid for.

The indignation to action ratio from congress should get them a public grilling.

11. You gotta do some of this first
or even a whole lotta this over an extended time. This is just baby steps.
