After watching most of the testimony on Fox News, I came away thinking the only competent person in the room was the $1 a year Chairman of AIG.
Across from him, a pompous posturing grandstanding bloviating herd of swine. And if I noticed, I suspect millions of Americans noticed, too. (And if they didn’t, Shepherd Smith surely filled them in.)
During late-night, closed-door talks last month, negotiators for the House, Senate and White House stripped out a measure to the stimulus bill that could have restricted the AIG bonuses.
If this is the best the political system can produce to protect their country’s interests, all I can say is “America, you are so f***ed.”

I still haven’t made my mind up about The One.
He’s c dertainly a narcissist.
But, does he rule the roost, or just play the front man?
I suspect he has the wit to know what his role is, and plays to the script, that he does not write. His wife, I suspect, is the motive force behind him; if she weren’t there, he’d remain a two bit Illinois nobody.
