I can only hope that we survive the consequences of the imminent bailout vote. Following that, a posthaste perp walk including Dodd, Frank, Rangel, Gorelick, Johnson, Raines, Mudd, et al (albeit shallow schadenfreude) would relieve some of the tension.
That would be great - but if anyone suggested it, I think we would see lots of race talk, threats of violence and riots, etc. We are already getting that kind of talk from Governor Patterson and some Black columnists, just on the supposition that Obama gets defeated.
The 1968 riots really put a scare into the Establishment.
