Today’s hearings are finally over – all 11 hours worth. It’s not clear who did themselves more harm – Lloyd Blankfein for explaining what Goldman Sachs did back in 2007 or Carl Levin (D-MI) for making the same points over and over and over again (none of which any of the Goldman crowd seemed to understand no matter how many times it was repeated).
A good portion of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations seemed to quite enjoy using the word “shi**y” today as Levin does in the clip above. I heard at least three committee members utter it including Claire McCaskill (D-MO).

“Shi**y – it’s what’s for dinner.”
They said it sooo much, it was as if they’ve been waiting their entire careers for the right opportunity to utter an expletive on national TV.
I thought the senators looked bad. I wish they would have stood up and took some blame. Or at least say, “hey, we are stupid idiots who are going to pass a Wall Street reform bill” that gives the Federal Reserve even more power!”
omg..Video removed. Is there a different version avail?
There’s a new one up now – I think it’s the same thing.
That was pretty shi**y of them to take the first one down.
