Guess he doesn’t get to grill them back over the 1.9 billion the grubberment collected from Lehman bros. in taxes, eh?

I’d normally agree with you, but there’s no defending these scumbags.

Here we go. Inflicting more regulations on the people with the latest socialist bail out scam gives socialists more power to start regulating wages with the old class warfare tactic.

Well at least He showed up. He could of wrapped Himself in lawyers and claimed th 5th. Next up should be B. Franks, and C. Dodd

Lehman was the cause of their own demise, not the govt.

Enough with the apologists for Wall Street. It simply makes you look silly.

But in the end, it’s the Lehman bondholders and stockholders who got screwed.

Fuld will make millions and millions per year just on interest alone.

Everytime I see Pelosi, Frank or Dodd on the television, I have to count to 10 and breath slowly. I want to personally put the noose on their necks and drop the floors
