I just want to know how much Bernanke, Geithner, and the big banks paid off Mitch Mc Connell to screw Bunning. It kills me that Bunning isn't running in 2010. He had my vote. I can't stand that mealy mouthed sack of dirt Mc Connell. Yes I'm Republican, and yes I am from Kentucky.

Makes me proud to be a Kentuckian, and thinking that I should run for Congress. Nah, ****'em all, I'd rather hang them than be one of them.

You write that speech Karl, as he obviously didn't?

Quote:

CALL YOUR SENATORS AND TELL THEM **NAY** ON ANY CLOTURE VOTE - A HOLD REQUIRES 60 VOTES TO OVERRIDE.

done!

Bunning wrote..

in short, you are the definition of a moral hazard

The best quote in the entire clip!

Wow his testimony sounded like a Flaming Ticker from KD.

Tin Foil On

Could Karl have written this for the good Senator???

Foil Off....LOL

Finally someone asking the right questions at the right time.

Excellent post and find Karl...Thanks

Look at that smart as face on Bernenke. Love the grilling I hope this vid goes viral. The fact is however the **** eating grin from Bernenke is there for a reason. Bernenke owns congress and he knows it. "Yeah, we screwed the tax payer, what you you gonna do about it Bunning?"

He had to jump quite a few "skull****"s in there. Had Karl all over it.

called menendez in NJ...as per his staffer he is "concerned about the independence of the fed but also understands the fed's lack of response to make any marked difference in the economy"

we'll see...hes a skunk but i strongly advised to vote nay

Spoken by Bunning.

Written by KD.

Bunning talks a good game, but no one follows. I've sent many an email to my gonad sucking representatives. I get back auto replies of whining about independent monetary policy. To which I reply and ask if they even know what that means. No answer on that one. Phonecalls aren't much better, get braindead aides who don't seem to understand that taking on hundreds of billions in paper that in auctions of failed institutions has been rated anywhere from 10-30 cents on the dollar MIGHT BE A ****ING BAD IDEA!

But I'll send some more, maybe make them sweat the next election a bit.

Still there has been some progress from all this. Those on capital hill who distrusted the Fed ten years ago could be counted on one hand. While still a minority there are many more.

That was so enjoyable to watch.

Fraudian slip. Classic.

That was really heart warming.

Dodd is a ****ing coward -- can't resist piling on to get a sound byte or two.

My hubby is "making a list and checking it twice", at least when he is calm enough to actually write something.

Sit down, Sweetie! I will get you another Barley Pop! :)

With a job performance review like that, they should just give him a bonus... The bankers got bonuses for even less.

Bunning has been good at grilling Bernanke since the get-go (since Ben came on board). He's been doing this for a few years now.

Interesting to see some of the former Bernanke-lovers (like Dodd) crack a tiny bit.

Dodd probably has woken up to the fact that his job may be in trouble. Hopefully, his turn-around-for-show will not fool CT. voters.

At least I have finally heard Ben say in plain English with no reserve at all

"We had no leverage with the counter parties or AIG and if we had pushed they would have said you are bankrupt"

Thanks for reminding me once more of what spineless piece of garbage you really are.

Bunning made a great statement, but he's tilting at windmills -- Bernanke will be reconfirmed, taxpayers will kindly bend over and prepare for the golden rod, sans Vaseline.

Fox news, Glen Beck show, first 15 min covered all of this ticker and Ron Paul just told the people WE are they only ones who have a shot to END THE FED. DC will not do it.

burn !

Dji-

Judge Napolitano (Beck sub) and his guests just did a greaaaat job of educating Americans on how the inflationary policies of Congress and the Fed works to impoverish Americans.

Thank god *somebody* in the MSM is doing this.

Now, THAT deserves a "bitch slap" smiley.

Bernanke took the supervisory roll on the counterparty pay out of 100 cents on the dollar. He didn't force a loss of one cent because he was a SUPERVISOR. Who do you think was negotiating on behalf of the taxpayer? That would be Turbo Tax Timmy……. NY FED Chairman……….

IF the FED is a consortium of snakes, I mean banks, then what is senate?
