Another oops on my part. Rubin is a Gawd-awful twit. I can't figure out why the Post has her on staff. They have some accomplished, notable conservative writers on their Op-Ed page, but she's not even worthy of Fox News - for sure she's stupid enough, but not easy enough on the eyes.

He is a former Adjunct Lecturer at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University and currently Senior Fellow to the Future of Diplomacy Program. He has received numerous honors, including the Legion of Honor from the French Republic, the Urbino World Press Award from the Italian Republic, and a lifetime achievement award from the International Committee for Foreign Journalism.

Admittedly, he's no Ed Schultz.

Ed Schultz? Admittedly he's no Rush http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Schultz but I meant Jen Rubin. No worries Finn.

All I need to know about Ed Schultz is that he used to be a Raider.

Funny how he started out as a Republican right wing radio blowhard.

I think EW should be cloned by the Democrats. Her common sense approach scares the bejesus out of the gamers of our financial system now. They hate the fact she has pulled the curtain back to expose the secrets dealings. We can see just how well those pros predicted any or all crashes. Especially if they don't have to pickup the pieces, letting someone else pay for their recklessness.

Whoa, Wells Fargo and Countrywide both deliberately sold those sub-prime mortgages knowing full well that the risk of default was there. Hell I even had some clown come to us suggesting we should take out a mortgage to get the cash because our property was going to be worth over a million in two years. I suspect it was that same line of BS they gave to everyone - buy now because in two years you won't be able to afford this property.

The way the mortgage system is set up in this country fraud was inevitable.

I blame the greed of those who make it their business to outsmart the market while making its policy, you can't expect the general public to be smarter than the experts in this gaming of a rigged system.

Well finn the only token liberal WaPo has is E,J, Dionne, the rest of their OpEd writer's are right of center, some way right of center.
