From the AP:
The Fed engineered an $85 billion takeover of insurance giant AIG this week, one of a series of failures of major financial companies that have rocked Wall Street. The government seized control of housing giants Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae earlier this month.
The Arizona senator reiterated his call to fire S-E-C chairman Chris Cox, saying there needed to be greater accountability in Washington.
Well, Papa Maverick, maybe if bagmen like Phil Gramm and you hadn't let the inmates run the goddamn asylum for the past quarter century we wouldn't be in the midst of this economic disaster.
I can't figure out what the hell you are selling yourself as, either.
One day--actually, for 26 years of days--you are anti-regulation.
The next day, you call for regulation when the piles of shit stink too much for even you.
You're a self-described "maverick" and "reformer" whose staff is peopled by Bushies, Rove acolytes, and lobbyists.
And then we have "L'il Maverick", who in reality is just an over-her-head "Good Ol' Girl" who gives me visions of an exceptionally bad Disney feature.
Today, again, you say you would fire S-E-C chairman Chris Cox.
Papa, don't reach.
The president doesn't have the authority to do any such thing.
Who the f*** are you, anyway?
I surely think Cox is a huge reason for this meltdown; I remember him as an Orange County anti-regulation, government-is-the-problem drone from his days as a representative.
A friend of mine's brother was a Cox staffer back then, and let's just say I had a debate or two with him over shots of tequila.
We just disagreed.
But you still can't fire him!
Plus, Papa--and correct me if I'm wrong--it's no secret that he was a staunch ally of yours, and your philosophies are exactly the same.
Hey! Is that the "DoubleTalk Express" whizzing by?
Is that Chris Cox stuck under its wheels?
Whoever you are today, Papa, you and your old brand are sinking fast.
