old worthless RINO turd poltroon

I think you were WAY too kind to Jim Leach. He was a worthless douche bag BEFORE he addressed the Dem Convention. With apologies to douche bags.

From Wikipedia:
The legislation he is perhaps best known for is Gramm-Leach-Bliley which is considered one of the seminal pieces of banking legislation of the 20th century. Gramm-Leach-Bliley (1999) overturned part of the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933 which separated commercial and investment banking. Glass-Steagall was passed in 1933 to curb excessive risk-taking and conflicts of interests which contributed to the Great Depression. The passage of Gramm-Leach-Bliley has been criticized as contributing to the subprime mortgage crisis.

They can have him...
