Can I post a funny fwd re Congessional Hearings?
I just got this from some friends and it finally brought a smile to my fvckked up day. *Note, this is all fake and sarcastic (I hope!)*
SCHUMER
I'll ask for the forth time. You requested $700 billion?
PAULSON
You want answers?
SCHUMER
I think I'm entitled to them.
PAULSON
You want answers?!
SCHUMER
I want the truth.
PAULSON
You can't handle the truth!

Son, we live in a world that has walls. And those walls have to be guarded by men with bazookas. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Barney Frank? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for AIG and you curse the CEOs. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: That Lehman's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives.
You don't want the truth. Because deep down, in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall.
We use words like credit default swaps and securitization markets...we use these words as the backbone to a life spent defending something. You use 'em as a punchline.
I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it. I'd prefer you just said thank you and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a blackberry and stand at a trading post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you're entitled to.
