Alec Baldwin, right on the money.

While listening to the Glenn Beck program during lunch yesterday I heard a clip from Alec Baldwin while he was on the Bill Maher show. I was very surprised.

BALDWIN: The thing we have to remember, a friend of mine who is very close to the financial community in New York pointed out that Democrats have a lot of the responsibility for this as well. I mean, it was Clinton who killed the Glass-Steagall, and it happened under a Democratic president. Barney Frank and his committee, they, they kept propping up Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac saying everything’s fine, everything’s fine, everything’s good. And it was his job to know everything wasn’t fine. And Barney Frank let you down and let us down as well. But I want to say that there's blame to go, but I keep maybe beating this to death but I still think anyone in this congress who voted to add $140 billion to that, that they should be ashamed of themselves. That is a disgrace.

I pulled this quote from the Glenn Beck website, the entire quote is found here. It's actually quite comical and I highly recommend it.

Bubba has a site. Sweet!!!

Lots of blame to go around. Nixon, Reagan, Clinton, and W. all had a hand in signing major acts of deregulation. However, the Senator Palpatine here is Phil Gramm, who also just happens to be a Senator. Hi Phil, take a bow.
