Mika: With More Women In Charge, Wall St. Meltdown 'Simply Would Not Have Happened'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 07/28/2010 5:10:12 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

If only women ruled the world . . .

Striking a blow for her sex, the Morning Joe co-host today claimed that the Wall Street meltdown "simply would not have happened" if more women had been in charge.

Mika was reacting to news that the Dems managed to slip into the recently enacted financial regulation bill a provision--authored by Rep. Maxine Waters--that would create "at least 20 new Offices of Minority and Women Inclusion" with the power to kill government contracts with financial firms not meeting new "diversity standards."

Tina Brown seconded her sister's sentiment, blaming the financial industry's woes on "all this phallic obsession."

Then Mika goes on to tell Governor Christie he is a fat ass.

What about Barney Frank? He seems to be the wild card in her little theory.

The Left is very deep into the "two wrongs make a right" concept.

What if I say, "Women aren't smart enough to make big financial decisions. They get too emotional, at least during certain times of the month, to be given real responsibility." If I say that, I'm a sexist creep and an idiot.

They basically say, "Men are too macho to make big financial decisions. They get too competitive to be given real responsibility." And that is supposed to showcase how thoughtful and modern these pundits are.

The same way with race: political decisions favoring whites over blacks was a bad thing -- skin color should not be a determining factor. I know! Let's fix it! Let's make all our political decisions so that blacks can be favored over whites! Yeah! We'll make skin color the determing factor!! That's much better!

My guess is that Mika’s strong point isn’t investment vehicles like derivatives which have no gender that I’m aware.

Women are as aggressive as men where huge amounts of money are concerned.

Like Mary Schapiro and Jamie Gorelick?

How about Cynthia McKinney for CEO of Goldman Sachs?
Make Wall Street too black to fail?

Did she offer any proof to back up that stupid statement?

Did any of her co-hosts challenge her to produce some proof?

Right.

Martha Stewart needs to be in charge of Wall Street.

Or Hillary, with her $10K cattle-futures investment that earned her $100K within a year.

GREED is common to ALL people, Mika. It is not gender-specific. I can think of few people who have greater GREED for power than Nancy Pelosi, one of the biggest THIEVES of other people’s money I have ever witnessed.

Mika is just another stupid ahole leftist feminist.

“authored by Rep. Maxine Waters—that would create “at least 20 new Offices of Minority and Women Inclusion” with the power to kill government contracts with financial firms not meeting new “diversity standards.” “

Sounds like Maxine - the 20 new offices would be empowered to nag the gummint into submission.

Janine Gorelick made $30 MIllion in Fannie Mae corruption and Nazi Pelosi has stolen $100 million in graft. Yeah, women are so pure and innocent.

Pray for America
