This grandstanding pisses me off as much as the crimes that caused it. How about we actually do something about this guy instead of chewing people out in TV to look good?
Hur hur, whachu talkin bout? I suppose every politician flounces into a Congressional hearing on finance regulation thinking, "man, I gotta look good... this'll be on MTV later."
I'm actually alarmed these people didn't get arrested for contempt of Congress. They clearly arrived with no intention of answering the questions they were asked. The bullshit they're spewing is so tired it defies belief. The SEC needs to go, baby. The last year has shown them to be nothing but spew targets for horny money men. No short selling my ass. How could they not see that was just buck passing?
I propose we allow Ackerman to just eat these people. Perhaps craft their scalps into an elaborate, flowing headdress. Now THAT would be grandstanding.
