Orrin Hatch, much like the single richest member of Congress, Rep. Darrell Issa, is concerned about this so-called “legal law suit of law” against the great company Goldman Sachs. Isn’t it HMM SUSPICIOUS that the SEC filed this suit against a financial company’s terrible business practices just as the Senate is considering major legislation about financial companies’ terrible business practices? Is it quite possibly a junk lawsuit that’s release was cleverly timed, as part of the Democrats’ latest eccentric idea to extend a very modest sprinkling of the law to the sector that destroyed the entire global economic system semi-permanently a whole two years ago?
Eh, maybe. Maybe the timing is Wacky. Who knows what phone calls were made. On the other hand, shut up, because Goldman knew it was being investigated over the Abacus deal, and its legal team has been plotting its defense for months. And on a minor note, WHAT DOES ANY OF THAT HAVE TO DO WITH VOTING YES OR NO ON THE FINANCIAL REFORM BILL UNDER CONSIDERATION? We knew that a financial reform bill needed to pass well before the SEC did anything, because, again, of that semi-permanent global economic collapse that financial companies caused two years ago.
The actual “very suspect” timing story was something else: why did all 41 Republican senators sign and release a letter vowing to filibuster financial reform shortly after the SEC suit was announced? This was “very suspect” timing because it was very stupid timing. Although who knows, it will probably work, whatever.

Wipe the Goldman Sacks Jizz from your lips, Orrin.
the timing of this suit is the least suspect thing with regard to golden sacks.
Not to mention the suspicious timing of Senator Hatch opening his big mouth right before the vote to send all the assholes who got us into this mess to Siberia.
first they they came for the oligarchs, but I was silent . . .
Hatch sees the writing on the wall: if we make it illegal to defraud people by cynically selling them on systems designed to fail and then reaping the benefits, the entire GOP platform is fucked.
I suspect Hatch has CIA implanted stick in his anus.
Today, we are all Keyser Söze.
Or ARE we?
Very suspect timing, sneaky democrats.
Shaming the 2 or three GOP senators who actually have a conscience to vote for something that is good for, in fact, desperately needed by America and the world. Either that or making them look like the rest of the complete corporate whores on their side of the aisle.
Very suspect.
Let’s see the birth certificate, sachs.
Jesus, you’d think that the idea of the GOP rallying behind these scumbags to defend them would be a punchline to a joke.
I also find the eruption of Watchamacallit highly suspicious at a time when air pollution legislation is on the table.
screw Borin’ Hatch–I finally found out who the girl is in those “acai berry shocker” ads.
[re=560806]Crank Tango[/re]: Yeah, I wonder if she knows that her image is being used for that.
[re=560811]Escape Goat Nation[/re]: I should prolly track her down and tell her, huh? I am going to france soon…
[re=560790]facehead[/re]: Your right, and I think most of the Rs do likewise. It ‘splains the whole Boner Oompa Loompa look that is so in vogue. The repubtard stick up the ass blocks the bile ducts. Instead of secret handshakes or gang signs, the members of bilirubin rebellion know each other by their orange glow.
Isn’t it a little odd, Orrin, that an asshole can talk and it’s allowed to be seen in public?
Ted Kennedy needs to rise from the grave and pop his good buddy Orin right in the mouth.
I think the timing of the sun rising everyday since Obama was elected is very suspicious in that the Republicans predicted we would descend into darkness. It is time for the GOP to filibuster the rising sun, or for the Democrats to stop pandering to the public by allowing the sun to rise as if we should expend sun rises everyday.
err because what, the prosecution should have come first, before we knew anything was wrong?
[re=560823]Holding Out for a Hero[/re]:
Can Zombie Ted also please eat the brain of Scott Brown (assuming zombies can’t get food poisoning from bad brains)
I,for one, think it is auspicious!
Next up on FOX: The Economic Recovery – Coincidence, or Suspicious Timing by the Obama Administration?
Aren’t Oompa Loompas required to bitch in singsong rhyme?
Let’s not be too hard on poor ol’ Orrin. Of his top twelve campaign contributors, seven are health care industries — who can’t be too happy with his failure to block HCR; one is an MLM scheme; and one is (was) bankrupt Bear Stearns.

The man’s just tryin’ ta whomp up some new donors and get paaaaaaaid. Is that so wrong? Oh, wait…
You have to admit that Goldman’s defense makes a lot of sense. They thought the buyers knew the securities were such a fraud that they would actually be selling them to someone else. How were they to know they really planned to keep them?
What Goldman did was like robbing a bank and then pleading for mercy because the bank didn’t do enough to avoid being robbed.
BTW, how long will it be before the teabaggers start adding Jewish bankers to their list of evildoers?
This old white guy is right, this is odd.
The threat level is… Red. Everyone forget everything and panic.
I think it’s very suspect that Hatch pronounces it “heighth”. Where is his birth certificate?
Utarded Orin Hatch: The Senate’s very own Poster Boy for Term Limits.
The suspicious part is giving the banks all of our personal money and after that, all of our gubbermint tax money (because they are on the “brink of the greatest depression since The Three Stooges”) and yet everyone with a suit in the building takes home record bajillions in bribe-bonuses to “retain” their “services”.
Senator Scooby-Doo, where are you? We need to fire up the mystery machine to try and figure this puzzler out. Better call in Scrappy Doo and Scooby Dumb for good measure, because this one is a humdinger of a headscratcher! Zoinks.
Oooohhh, the filibuster. I’m so scared.
Are there no prisons? Are there no penthouses?!
Suspect?! Quick, Orrin – call a dentist to file a counter-suit!
Well you know, Orrin, out west the leaves of the Aspens turn all at once.
Which closeted gay Republican Senators will consider being blackmailed into voting for this?
[re=560789]doxastic[/re]: You da One, move over Neo!
So tell me,oral, are you suspicious or nervous?
C’mon people, at least give the Goldman Sachs thieves time to transfer their bonus money to offshore accounts. Then, maybe in twenty or thirty years we can prosecute them.
Hatch: Too much black-helicopter thinking will make you crazy.
It’s obvious you’ve been thinking this way your entire life.
You atheists just slay me. Are you forgetting that Goldman-Sachs is doing GOD’S work???!!1?
I am suspicious of the suspected suspicion by the suspect in question.
Hatch, 6 months ago: “Isn’t that a little odd, that at the heighth of this legislative period, we have the highest health care costs in history?”
[re=560789]doxastic[/re]: Very astute. Whatever the hell that means. But yes. The entire GOP is organized to succeed by failing. Want to outlaw abortions, vote GOP (that ones’ worked for going on 30 years and the dupes haven’t caught on). Want fiscal responsibility (vote GOP and get reckless spending and record deficits) Want security? Vote GOP and get terrorist attacks and permanent wars. Want prosperity? Vote GOP and get ripped by their pals on wall street.
[re=560885]Johnny Zhivago[/re]: Isn’t it incredible how the conservos can constantly blame the victim, while playing the victim yet never accept responsibility for anything? Oh, to live so free.
[re=560831]carlgt1[/re]: hehehe…come first…
[re=560828]whiterabid[/re]: I agree. It also corresponds with the conspiracy theory that I’ve been floating regarding the sudden increase of disease and death in the run up to the passage of health care reform.
