Uh-oh...

Well this is a fine kettle of fish...

A report has surfaced that Hillary Clinton, our best hope in 2016 Hillary Clinton, recently spent some time at Goldman-Sachs headquarters kissing banker ass and saying that lambasting Wall Street wasn't doing anyone any good (Digby notes the report is second hand and since it's coming from a Wall Street psychopath that caution in reaction is warranted).

Funny this should come out just as I was beginning (as I did before the 2008 Democratic primaries and decided to go with Obama instead) to have my doubts about Hillary Clinton.  Frankly, I wouldn't at all be surprised if Ms. Clinton did utter the remarks--her husband wasn't exactly an economic populist and I've never seen any reason to believe she was either.  No only that, but after watching Elizabeth Warren be an actual Democrat and stand up for the working class (and isn't it a hoot to watch?) I keep thinking how nice it would be to have Warren's heartfelt economic populism (she's not running) in the Presidency and not another half-hearted economic populist like Obama.

Might be a good time to take a good long look at Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley, who's rumored to be considering a run and has actually governed (successfully, too) like a Liberal Democrat.

Peace,
