Huh?OR NOT: “Sen. Charles Schumer, a New York Democrat, said on Thursday that some experts think creating a ‘bad bank’ to buy toxic assets could require as much as $4 trillion.” These experts include Charles Schumer’s major donors on Wall Street, as well as Charles Schumer’s major donors on Wall Street. It’s kind of hilarious that this guy is more or less the most corrupt politician in America, at least according to the notational value of deals in imaginary money he brokers, but, well, he’s a character!

    The puppy clones are more interesting.

    Bad bank, good bank, sexy spank, whatever. Nationalize these gawd-damned Capitalist tools and make these assholes work for salary not bonus.

    Actually, Schumer was the guy who pushed hard for banks to put the Schumer box on credit card statements, which states in plain English the terms of the card, so we ought to cut him some slack.

    That said, if SCHUMER thinks its a bad idea, then maybe it’s just plain too damned liberal.

    I want a debit card from the Bad Bank. Then the casheer at Walgreens will think I’m cool.

    So. We create a ‘bad’ bank to buy up all of the bad mortgages and other debts. And then it can simply declare bankruptcy and the problem is solved, right?
    Right?

    Deepthroat: Freak. Clowns are creepy. Grown men dressed in funny outfits to attract small children. Just like priests… and republicans.

    Shouldn’t we just stop listening to the clowns who created this crisis, like Schumer and Summers and Geithner? (i.e. Jews).

  14. Schumer and Wall Street are like Jonathan and David, not that there is anything wrong with that.

  15. Deepthroat says at 3:33 pm, January 30th, 2009

    The one, and I believe it is the only thing, I share with the unwashed wingnut masses is a deep contempt for Charles Schumer vis a vis the Waco hearings. Actually they feel an inarticulate homicidal rage, and I merely think the guy is a blindered arrogant (and corrupt) asswhipe, so maybe we’re not all the same.

  20. Iggy Plop: Fugedaboudit, we’re all the same on this one, Schumer IS an arrogant asswipe inspiring rage in most of the higher lifeforms…
