I've been disgusted by the NYT editorial page for some time, but I'm still surprised that they published this piece of crap. Isn't obsessing over the eye color of a group of alleged malefactors racist?
If I'm going to play Dowd's game, can I mention that the people who defaulted on their mortgages in the U.S. have been disproportionately brown and black?
There are rules when posting a Dowd column. I hope a tech-savvy Freeper can post a picture of certain beauty who definitely does not have blue eyes.

This crisis was caused by the irrational behavior of people with greed and it comes in all colors.

The guy is a racist loon. It’s funny though. Our current president seems more concerned with him than our traditional ally, the United Kingdom.

I have to wonder how much Maureen drank before she wrote this. Vikram Pandit is INDIAN and has brown eyes (took me 15 seconds to find that on Google). George W Bush also has brown eyes (she says he has blue eyes - I Googled his picture right after Mr. Pandit's - they're brown).
Do facts matter at ALL in American journalism any more? Are there any editors at the NYT any more, or have they all be cut in the recent financial turmoil?

This screed is so massively racist I’m surprised it was published.
It seems to be another tack in fomenting unrest. I do think this administration is hellbent on creating violent unrest in the US with its policies.
Nothing is ever by chance in politics. It is all completely telegraphed.

Congress is in charge of oversight and is in control of spending. Democrats have been in control of congress since 2006. Yet the morons at the NYT keep repeating the lie that it was the executive branch that caused/allowed this to happen. No doubt the executive branch could have done a lot more, especially if it hadn’t been for Democrats in congress blocking reform of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. They screamed racist to dare suggest that people who couldn’t afford a mortgage should not be given one.
Liars all.

Just another attempt to blame the achievers for the non-achievement of the non-achievers.
