  1. You know those Gold-Man-Sacks oligarchs were chuckling about the idea of HIllary and Bill "enjoying" their "fortunes," which are rounding errors on their balance sheets. But for the Right this will be a 47% moment.

  2. This isn't "wrong," but it sounds terrible:

    When I was a Senator from New York, I represented and worked with so many talented principled people who made their living in finance. But even thought I represented them and did all I could to make sure they continued to prosper, I called for closing the carried interest loophole and addressing skyrocketing CEO pay. I also was calling in ‘06, ‘07 for doing something about the mortgage crisis, because I saw every day from Wall Street literally to main streets across New York how a well-functioning financial system is essential. So when I raised early warnings about early warnings about subprime mortgages and called for regulating derivatives and over complex financial products, I didn’t get some big arguments, because people sort of said, no, that makes sense. But boy, have we had fights about it ever since.

    MR. BLANKFEIN: That’s how you have a small fortune, is you go to Washington.

    SECRETARY CLINTON: You go to Washington. Right. But, you know, part of the problem with the political situation, too, is that there is such a bias against people who have led successful and/or complicated lives. You know, the divestment of assets, the stripping of all kinds of positions, the sale of stocks. It just becomes very onerous and unnecessary.” [Goldman Sachs Builders And Innovators Summit, 10/29/13]

  4. Meh,
    Donnie Boy: groping, lecherous, tax cheat, sociopath, with no clue about any substantial issues or implementation.
    Hillz: policy wonk who is willing to work with globalization and Wall Street and also is down with single payer.

    Her "leak" will only give RWNJ's something to talk about next week instead of his überdeplorable comments.
