Beware of school teachers turned lawyer! /s
The only thing more obnoxious than a 99%er is a 1%er pretending to be a 99%er.
It’s not called “having it both ways”, it’s called “doublethink”, a necessary ability for all Party members.
And we’ve always been at war with East Asia.
Great post.
Of course this will never be seen in the MSM, but I’m loving it.
Mr. Gingrich: "Would you abort a liberal baby?"
Mr. Romney: "Would you abort a blue collar baby?"
Mr. Paul: "Would you abort a future banker?"
Mr Perry: "Would you talk some sense into these guys?"
Prof. Warren differs from many of the other 1% in that she wants to see the 99% not fleeced. She tells the story of giving a seminar at a large bank reporting her analysis of bankruptcies. She outlined her analysis and noted that if they did not extend credit to a well-defined subset of the most uncredit worthy clients that they could cut their bankruptcies by a large percentage. She said she got the “But Prof. Warren” question and all the eyes turned to the person with all the power in the room. The power broker responded “that is where we make most of our money.” The banker had more in common with a drug pusher - he knew the clients couldn’t pay but was going to get them in trouble and fleece them for all kinds of penalties and fees before they went bankrupt. Now nobody held a gun to these poor schmuck’s heads and made them sign loan papers, but I’m glad when people like Prof. Warren want to force the bankers to provide clear disclosure in plain English.
My goodness, how do you get that kind of dough, even at an Ivy League?
I wonder whom Lizzy owes her degree to that she hasn’t fully compensated; after all, nobody earned anything like that on their own. Why, there had to be policemen keeping the rampaging hordes away while she was studying for her degree. (It wasn’t just her pretty face and creamy legs that kept them away, no way) And, I believe she owes some money to Thomas Edison, because he invented the light bulb without which she could never have put in those nights late studying. As well, I think she owes something to the power company that brought the electricity to her dorm room so that light bulb would work. And oh no, it wasn’t like she fulfilled her debt to socity just by paying her electric bill and buying her light bulbs. Oh no, no way. There’s more, so much more. What about her underwear? Doesn’t she owe some money to the folks who sewed her drawers? And the company who manufactured the desk she wrote on, and all those damn pencils! And perhaps most importantly, what about those sexy glasses she wears? She couldn’t see the broad side of a barn without them. The folks who manufactured her reading glasses, she owes them everything. When do the checks go out? She’s gonna end up a pauper thanking all those folks who made it possible for her to achieve her goals.
Cute.
And staggeringly stupid.
She obviously knows where the money is, sounds like a natural for the Senate Appropriations Committee.
But, but she thinks she can. She teaches some sort of fantasy lie.
Is Scott Brown capitalizing on this? I hope so.
This would be the same Liz Warren who was recently presented for induction into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame by Boone Pickens.
