“While New York Governor Eliot Spitzer was paying an ‘escort’ $4,300 in a hotel room in Washington, just down the road, George Bush’s new Federal Reserve Board Chairman, Ben Bernanke, was secretly handing over $200 billion in a tryst with mortgage bank industry speculators. Both acts were wanton, wicked and lewd. But there’s a BIG difference. The Governor was using his own checkbook. Bush’s man Bernanke was using ours.”
You are a Working Class Warrior, also known as a blue-collar Democrat. You believe that the little guy is getting screwed by conservative greed-mongers and corporate criminals, and you’re not going to take it anymore.

When is this going to come out in the real press?
Never. They’re owned by companies that are owned by the corporations that are getting bailed out.
You got that right, Susie. Corporate media does not blow the whistle on corporate banks, (or corporate politicians, or corporate ‘public’ utilities, or corporate hospitals, or corporate food processors for that matter).
Bush made it clear early on, “Yer either with us, or agin’ us”. He just forgot to tell us who “us” is.
Should we expect Bernake’s wife to grimly stand zombie-like at his next presser???
