You know, it's not surprising that some psychopath passing himself off as the CEO of JPMorgan gets treated like a Faberge egg by Senate republicans during his testimony--hell, those numbnuts would blow the Koch brothers and let them post the video on Youtube for a fucking nickel. But other than Sens. Menendez and Merkley, the Democrats were equally feckless. Don't suppose it has anything to do with the money JPMorgan has given the Banking Committee members (republicans got $265,000, Dems got $252,000), do you? For a party of the working man (and woman), it was a pretty pathetic performance by the Dems, and is a fine case in point for why Dem enthusiasm doesn't equal that of the republicans.
More pathetic, though, was Jamie Dimon offering to get an apartment in D.C. to help Congress with banking regulations. I can often be a sarcastic smart ass on this blog, but I say this with all seriousness: I would truly, truly rather entrust banking regulations to Charles Manson than Dimon and his cronies. At least, 99% of us can agree that Manson is out of his mind--Dimon actually has people who believe he's good at what he does and isn't the cancer on society that he is. After the fiasco that was 2008 on Wall Street, it's utterly amazing to me that people like Dimon even have a seat at the table.
