Finally! A call for a head-roll

Finally.

At least one mainstream writer, Maureen Dowd, has finally written explicitly what I have been hinting at. She writes "....Who are these looters of our loot? The New York Times should follow up the excellent Portraits of Grief it did after 9/11 with Portraits of Greed. Payback doesn’t have to go as far as the French Revolution. The grifters shafting us don’t have to shed blood, but they do have to give the money back. As far as these self-serving corporate con men and short-selling traders are concerned, off with their headsets....Let’s hope that if Barack Obama becomes president, the first thing he does is keep his promise to make the junketeers come to Washington (preferably by bus or carpooling) and write the U.S. Treasury a check, after which he will fire them on the spot. Heads must roll."

Way to go, Ms. Dowd. Yes, heads must roll, not only those on top of bodies of Fuld, Raines, Mr. Syron, Mr. Sullivan, and the like, but also those of the regulatory officials, the Fed heads, the Treasury traitors, and shameless stock-pushers like Kudlow and his ilk on channels like CNBC.
