Republican Senators Roll Out The "Red Carpet" For Jamie Dimon. And By "Red Carpet" I Mean

their tongues in preparation of fellatio.

Seriously, if the Teabaggers still love the Republicans (and especially DeMint) after this pitiful display of sycophantism towards Wall Street plutocrats there can be no doubt that their only concern is getting the uppity negro out of the White House. It has nothing to do with any sort of ideology whatsoever. I also love how somebody pointed out the contrast between this and the Eric Holder hearings. It's pretty obvious who the GOP are working for, and they can't even bring themselves to hide it.

Congressional hearings have long ago outlived their usefulness.

They've been useful for that for at least a century, and reached their apex during the McCarthy Era. Ditto for a lot of court trials, like the Scopes Monkey Trial.

Nothing but political theatrics. Why can't we have boring government like the nordic countries?
