If Morgenstern [sic] and Rosner are to be believed, the American dream didn't die of old age; it was murdered and most of the fingerprints on the corpse come from Democratic insiders. Democratic power brokers stoked the housing bubble and turned a blind eye to the increasingly rampant corruption and incompetence at Fannie Mae and the associated predatory lenders who sheltered under its umbrella; core Democratic ideas may well be at fault.
This is catnip to Republicans, arsenic to Dems. If Morgenson and Rosner are right, there is someone the American people can blame for our current economic woes and it is exactly the cast of characters that a lot of Americans love to hate. Big government, affirmative action and influence peddling among Democratic insiders came within inches of smashing the US economy.

. FIRST PARAGRAPH......At his blog Via Meadia, Walter Russell Mead suggests that Gretchen Morgenson and Joshua Rosner's new book on the financial crisis, Reckless Endangerment, could...end the Democratic Party as we know it
Heard about this on Rush; on my to-do list.
And that dumb_ss McCain wouldn’t point this out either.
This one I wrote for AT in Oct of 2008 and in fact Rush read it all on the air that day:

(pardon the shameless self promo, but it’s shorter than the book!!)
I will find, buy, and read the book. I believe the Democrat Party to be a criminal enterpise, and have believed it for many years. There is too much evidence to not believe it.
Your mistake was in expecting Senator McCain to understand...and do the right thing.
You were dealing with somebody who chaired the Commerce Committee for ten years -- and, by his own admission, never really learned how business actually worked.
But he let Obama and the dems pin it on him out of a missplaced sense of presidential/gentlemenly decorum to the detriment of the of his country and the American people. He was not a fighter on domestic issues. He was a wimp just like his father.
There are times when we can tolerate wimps......but not now.....today we need fighters. e.g. Palin/Bachmann.
I’m beginning to really like you a lot! Not only do I like your screen name, I like your thinking. Rush opened his show the day after Obama’s election with the statement “well friends, the new tone has come home to roost...”
Taken from this:

(yes I know, still shameless...but ahead of the curve)
This is the "tone" I'm looking for. CLICK ON IMAGE.
Now THATS a new tone I can believe in!!
I heard Rush’s short blurb today about the book. Ordered it.
If (and it’s a big if) it is everything Rush described, then it could go down in history with a handful of books that fundamentally changed American attidues (Common Sense, Uncle Tom’s Cabin, The Jungle).
Ping for later
