3. Don't you just want to hug her for that? |

These guys simply cannot believe that anyone has the right to question them. They're not used to anyone calling them on anything.
Sorry, guys, you're on the Gov't dole now; you play by our rules.

7. She *was great today and this interview is good for the evening tv crowd |
|
The fact that they have to be watched over and are only now finally "getting it" amazes me. I understand what she means when she says that they're used to having influence and not accustomed to being on the hot seat. But I suppose they figured McCain would win the election and it's life as usual for them with taxpayers continuing to bring them "tractor trailers of cash" (as Steven Perlstein of the Wash Post talked about yesterday).

8. She was angry and feisty, which is fun, but like ninety percenty of the rest of the committee, she |
|
Edited on Wed Feb-11-09 08:15 PM by Mike 03
was ignorant.
It was embarrassing.
We need to change how these "expert" committees are assembled.
She is one of my favorite politicians in the world, but she knows nothing about banks, banking, the economy, TARP or anything directly pertinent to what needed to be discussed today.
Anger does not equal insight.

11. Yep. She didn't even understand why an under-capitalized bank would want to try to make |
|
interest off of a loan.
That's brilliant!

14. I've liked her ever since the hypocritical Rethugs raked Clinton over the coals |
|
for something many of their own party members do behind closed doors with young boys instead of a beautiful young woman.
