"Lieberman never associated with those far left wing nut cases" What the HELL are you talking about??????????????? Lieberman and Dodd (the TWO Senators from the financial services centric state of Conn.) BOTH have ALWAYS JOINTLY OPPOSED regulation of the industry, accounting reform that might affect the industry's ability to push out frauds and such. They BOTH opposed the accounting reform push in the mid-nineties (which, if they hadn't killed it, would have prevented the entire Nasdaq bubble and crash). And they BOTH jointly opposed all efforts to put sensible regulations and safeguards on Credit Default Swaps (for example: requiring actual reserves for these insurance contracts when sold!) and --- if they hadn't killed this one too --- would have prevented the global financial bubble from EVER growing as large and dangerous as it was. Now I couldn't care any less if they take coffee together or what-not... but they have been TWO PEAS in a POD of fraud-enablers for decades now....
