1. Bag-us is an example of the element that needs to go.

2. Dylan is unleashed on MSNBC
He's right. He is a truly free market system person, and knows that our system has been bought and paid for.

3. That's true, but Max's largesse is a drop in a bucket compared to Geithner, Summers and Bernanke.

Baucus probably feels like he's just following the zeitgeist. The example set from the top is no better.

4. I saw it this morning and how he carried that theme throughout the program
It's the kind of message we've been needing to hear repeated home over and over on tv.

7. Maybe I'm an idiot....

But is that not the must fucked up looking pie chart ever fucking presented ? Obv they could have done better for the 7 sec screen shot they gave it at the 3:43 mark in this clip...........


Also at the 9:50 mark, wtf....can someone please explain to me wtf 31/2X of the avg senator is ?

I thought I just read on rawstory that Sen Max Fuak-us just got over $8M....this screen shot shows less the $4M since 198 fuckin 9......

Finance Committee Chairman Max Fuk-Us (D-MT) alone accounts for nearly $8 million of the total. In addition, five of his former staff members -- including two former chiefs of staff -- are now lobbyists representing organizations with a strong interest in the health care bill.
