This article about Goldman Sachs’ legal/lobbying/PR team is completely terrifying. The team includes Obama’s ex-White House counsel Greg Craig, as you know, but also Ken Duberstein, Harold Ford Senior, former SEC commissioner/Shelby aide Richard Roberts, PR sleaze Mark “Master of Disaster” Fabiani, Dick Gephardt, and “a veteran former regulatory reporter for the New York Times.” That doesn’t even include any of the names on Goldman’s in-house team, where Satan and the very worst Shakespearean antagonists serve as mere interns.

THINGS WE KNEW

Hey, when nobody has any money, who you gonna work for? The people who stole it from everybody else.
Kind of makes a person wonder what else an investigation will turn up.
A shill, huh? Sort of like Ashley Dupre being Eliott Spitzer’s shill.
[re=567188]SayItWithWookies[/re]: hey they didn’t steal it! they HUSTLED it, fair and square. or at least they hustled it, anyway.
“Great vampire squid” may have been a bit understated, afterall.
Did Tim Curry have to spend the rest of the 80s in a neck brace after filming Legend? Why did it kill Mia Sara’s career and not Tom Cruise’s? She’s like four inches taller than him!
“Dubbed the ‘Master of Disaster’ for his handling of the Whitewater scandal during the Clinton administration, Fabiani…”
Oh he mastered that disaster just terrifically: president impeached, Hilz perjured herself (“I have no recollection…”) all over the place, Linda Tripp a national hero to wingtards, and the Clintons mired in debt so deep it took three or four books to dig ‘em out. Here’s hoping he can do the same for Gold Man-Sacks.
Love the USA, where the criminal element can practice criminal behavior without being hamstrung by a lot of rules and regulations.
In the future, everyone will be Goldman shills for fifteen minutes.

[re=567188]SayItWithWookies[/re]: That’s what I’m doing now …what are we going to do when there’s only one employer left? One single socialist, communist, marxist, facist muslin?
They are like shills with a secret sorrow.
There was an interest in profiting from bilking the entire nation, and they were simply attempting to facilitate that interest.
Cannonball Run: On the Banks is shaping up to the be the best sequel yet!

[re=567224]Mr Blifil[/re]: “nation”? hell… the world!
It’s only a matter of time before they hire Mr. Layne and Mr. Newell.
Looks like a cast list for “Goldmans 11″.
[re=567224]Mr Blifil[/re]: Invisible spud sack of the market, also.
Check it, from back in the day when INXS was at the top of the charts with “Need You Tonight”:
“Gephardt’s specter of $48,000 Hyundais, Dukakis suggested, pandered to an American xenophobic streak by railing against foreign companies. Now, however, Dukakis is showing a commercial featuring a Japanese flag. His slogan “I’m on your side” is Gephardt Lite.
Sellouts, you get a dozen for a dime, its magic…
How prescient, Dick:
After being teased in New York last year in concept form, this full-size, rear-drive luxury sedan will move from Korea to America in 2011, giving Hyundai a budget alternative to a Mercedes S-Class, Lexus LS, Jaguar XJ or other top-notch sedans.
…
Hyundai says the Equus should start at between $50,000-$60,000 and be extremely well-equipped, meaning the Equus would undercut competitors by roughly $12,000 to $35,000.
Meaning someone from the junior trading desk of Goldman Sachs should be able to buy at least 3 of these, no problemo, but won’t because they are Jews who have a thing for BMW or Mercedes Benz (whodathunk!)…
Truck Nutz = Golden Sacks.
[re=567375]schvitzatura[/re]: The Equus? Seriously? They couldn’t come up with a name that doesn’t remind people of the play about the kid that gets turned on by horses?
