Lots of funny barbs from Colbert, too:

Ben Bernanke... has been reappointed. Does this give you hope for being reelected Governor of New York? Because, may I remind you, HE screwed EVERYBODY.

(sung to the tune of 'Yellow Submarine)

In the town where I invest,
Lived a group who owned the banks,
And they told us of their lies,
And we just bailed them out,

So they failed and ripped us off,
Till we found magic reason,
And we lived with moral hazard,
that came from the bail-outs,

We all live in a jewish oligarchy,
a jewish oligarchy, a jewish oligarchy.
We all live in a jewish oligarchy,
a jewish oligarchy, a jewish oligarchy.

Until we kick them out.

That's good, Lip, except I don't know what "Jewish" has to do with anything.

Then you don't know anything, like most ignorant americans.

It all started a long time ago, when the jews started a practice called usury (lending money at interest). Jesus even preached against it.

Muslims vehemently denounce usury even to this day. So, since handling money and changing interest was bad for muslims and christians, the jews had no problem with it and thus became the money-handlers. That lineage continues to this day.

The only banking interests that will be investgated will be the non-jew banks, but don't take my word for it, do some research.

I guarantee you will be mortified at how this country has been sold out by the Fed (a jew bank).

Eliot Spitzer thinks Americans should be furious that the financial system is being rebuilt exactly as it was before the economic collapse.

Agreed.

Obama is trying hard but he's only bringing incremental changes and his reforms efforts to date have been largely corrupted by corporate over-influence co-opting any strong language in reform bills into tamer, toothless and ultimately counter productive stuff.

The system is being run almost totally by people who've been screwing you fer years. People who see no need to change or more appropriately no apparatus in place that can force them to change.

Spitzer was one of the few true Reformers on Wall Street and his public upbraiding over his hooker habit was a real kick in the nuts to those hoping to see his reforms take root.

Nice to see that that icehole Colbert aint deemed him persona non grata.

Be Well.

I agree, except it brings me sadness when i realize the two most influential and accurate reporters of the news are comedians.
