Proper Latin would be “doofi.”

“…you know, we got ~~a little too much~~ far too little democracy in this country.”

Fixed that for you, Jim.

Of course Jim Cramer would feel this way, because here he is talking about he, his wife, and their buddies would manipulate stocks on the backs of pensioners etc!…

Nice to see excellent econoblogs like Naked Capitalism and Tyler Durden’s in the mix of discussion. Now for a little Baseline Scenario…

I realize this is about the FRTA, but that recent Frontline show tended to point to Goldman Sachs point man at Treasury as the chap who pressured Lewis into the shotgun marriage with Merrill. Lewis agreed to buy within 48 hours of hearing Thane’s offer, without due diligence. He’s not totally blameless for the flamingo up at Nation’s Bank (aka BoA).

Thanks for that.

Taibbi has been all over the financial meltdown for months now, and should be a must read for anyone with a sense of humor that wants to better understand the royal screwing we’ve been served up.

Kudlow is a living Republic talking point doll.

Cramer often looks coherent about things when he is compared to Larry Kudlow.

Kudlow is hopeless.

His world is club tennis, (you know, where you tie the arms of your expensive sweater around your neck while playing) and parties in the Hamptons.

Anything that would negatively affect that lifestyle is an affront to the Constitution.

Cramer occasionally has relevant things to say until he froths up and offers unfiltered streams of consciousness that border on insanity.

Cramer needs to immigrate to China, where economic policy decisions are state secrets, and disclosure of which may be punishable by death. This being said, the thought of rethug pundits ripping Issa, who is a corrupt thug if there ever was one, has a certain appeal to it.
