“Citizen Kane”, arguably one of the greatest films ever made, and Orson Wells directorial debut at the ripe old age of 25, is a fictional account of the life of Randolph Hearst. I just cant help but picture Congressman Levin on his deathbed muttering…….”Timberwolf”….”Shitty”.
Yesterday’s inquisition of the automotons at Goldman was epic. The suits at Goldman dripped condescension and at times annoyance at the silly and redundant questions by our proud representatives. It would be like me interviewing a neurosurgeon on their emergency room protocol. Sickening and self engrandising on their part, but they’ve failed miserably at everything else this year so why not try to look like the good guy. Newsflash.. Joe Sixpack, (who Goldman screwed?)and who is working four times as hard to make half the money, (if he’s lucky enough to have a job)could really give two flying shits about Goldman Sachs. Great theater as always and of course ,choreographed from the powers above.
McCaskill said “shitty” twice and Levin, the really big potty mouth, said it a bozillion times. He likes to say “shitty”, makes him feel like one of the guys, you know Joe Sixpack, the guy whose voice he hasn’t heard in years anyway. I’m ready for my close up Mr. Demille. Camera loving ingrates. The beat goes on.
