Rick: Turning in already? Joanie: Gotta get up early to hit the beautyworks. I'm going to be on TV. I'm sitting behind Elizabeth at the banking hearing. One of my co-workers told me I should be honored, because that spot usually goes to the hottest staffer. Rick: Could be true. Joanie: Great. I'll just go st up my paint pots now...

My inner romantic wants to think Jeff’s “Could be true” means he thinks his wife qualifies as the “hottest.”

It’s nice that her husband still thinks she is hot. And I hope Elizabeth Warren gives it to those bankers again!!!

Oops, you’re right. Sometimes it’s hard to keep everybody straight.

I have a dream…that one day women will be judged by the content of their character rather than the colour of their hair and the appearance of their skin….

bawana: Your comment (and there was a similar one made yesterday) reflects an attitude that led to the Nazi takeover of Germany (dissatisfaction with the Weimar republic), the Fascisti takeover of Italy (dissatisfaction with the post-WWI Italian government), and Vladimir Putin’s destruction of any trace of democratic government in Russia. If you can’t put up with our far from perfect democratic processes, get your butt out of here.

lol, such inane foppery. Congress is the opposite of progress. to play with words.
Warren is a good tool for the Kabuki show we are subject to by Congress. as i said, nothing good can come from Congress until it become Progressive. and Republicans/Democrats won’t let that happen, Warren or no Warren.

Elizabeth Warren IS the hottest staffer.

If anyone “forced” them, it was bush and his “Ownership Society”, “Poor people have the same right to own a nice house as rich people”. Hoo, boy.Actually, what they were “forced” to do was, if they made loans outside the red line, they had to make loans inside the red line as well, to people who were QUALIFIED. I remember the mayor of Atlanta was denied a loan because he wanted to buy in an African-American neighborhood. I wonder why…

She’s wasting time! Get those teeth bleached! Get your hair styled! Have a “lunchtime laser face lift”! Get your nails done! Buy a new outfit! Have your makeup done by a professional! All those things could have been done in time. (might take a few bribes here and there)

You can tell how little the President wants banking reform, he chose Mary Jo White to lead the SEC.

Typical male response. He should have said “Is true”.
