1 ARRRRRRGH! That make Weasel MAD!

2 My, my, my! Look at all the slithery things under this rock...

3 Weasel SMASH? If so, I can toss in on bail.

4 Premature enter key. The thing that really chaps my ass is all the attention paid to people who are being foreclosed on. Screw them -- they bought houses they couldn't afford and they deserve to rot for it. Me, I'm trying to sell up and move. I am NOT in over my head, I'm just trying to make a life change. My house is currently listed for 2/3 of the value the city taxes it for, I've spent all my liquidity fixing it up, I've been on the market for six months and...nothing! You know why? There's a house six houses down from me that just sold for under $5,000. Multi-apartment building that, no doubt, some retarded shitbag bought for an investment and couldn't keep up on. There's another for sale for $35,000. Two more for $80,000. That's just in a three block radius. How the hell do I compete with that? I don't, that's what. This time, these evil thieving fuckers have reached right into my pocket and sucked tens of thousands of dollars out of it and I'm FURIOUS about it.

5 Won't mean a damn thing if Juan doesn't manage to convey this message to the people pulling levers on Nov. 4th.   He sure as hell won't have any help in this from the MSM.

Somebody from Fox needs to ask Bambi what role Ms. Pritzker will play in his administration.

6 Is Penny Pritzker white or black?

Doesn't matter; we can't use her in an ad, either way. If she's white, it will be racist because it will look like we are implying that Obama is fucking all our white women.

On the other hand, if Pritzker is black, we'll look like racists for linking black people to the financial crisis.

7 I think its great that Barry has advisors so experienced in our current financial scene........we really do need to make sure everybody knows all about this striking example of Barrys connection with current events

8 BLAAARG, that make Blarg mad.

Read through the link and didn't read one word about the jews. 

As a lifelong Republican and a Concerned Christian Conservative who makes 140,000 a year, we all know who caused this mess.

Also, cocksucker.

9 Come on Team McCain, lets see some ad buys!

10 "That's not the Queen of Subprime Mortgages I knew."

11 What is a bug-catcher?

12 You can't pin this on us.

13 She's rumoured to be hosting a bash for Amadinejad when he comes to NY. Pritzker owns the Hyatt.

14

My only question is whether, as Obama's Finance Chair, Pritzker also decides which McCain events Obama's top financial bundlers will attempt to disrupt.

.

15 One has to wonder just how much more room there is available under Barrys bus............at some point the pile of bodies will simply be unsurmountable.

16 I feel your pain Weasel.  It's like all the people who do it right are the ones that get screwed. 

My old man once told me that the problems of this country stem from the fact that we have 6% of the world's population and 66% of the worlds lawyers.  The overwhelming occupation of the 535 representatives in congress is lawyers. 

17

18

Any bets on the chances of an criminal charges against this woman or any of the others who employed fraud to create this crisis?  Any bets that nothing will be done to prevent donations to political campaigns by unions or corporations?  Any bets that those government leaders who pushed these loans will remain richer than prior to this crisis?  Any bets that this will cost more than the war in Iraq?

 

We need a change in this country but many Americans would rather hear lies than hear the truth.

 

A pox on every politician and bureaucrat.

True story:  the failure of this bank was a very big deal at the time.  The Democratic controlled Senate Banking Committe held a hearing on it.  I attended this hearing.  There might have been some significant dirt revealed in that hearing that would have finished the Pritzker family.  Unfortunately, it was cut short after 20 minutes because a plane was on its way to crash into the Capitol.  It was September 11, 2001.  If I were a real conspiracy-theory nutjob I might say hmmmmmmmmm.

I will also remind eveyone that the crappy lending practices that got Superior Bank into trouble  happened on Bill Clinton's watch.  And for all you liberal assholes reading this blog, Gramm-Leach-Bliley had nothing to do with it either!

20 Ok, McCain, O! has been railing against lobbyists on your team, let's start hitting all the nefarious characters leading the O! team.

21 Iv'e decided to cease disrupting the previously existing weasel/stoat axis as a mark of my sincere dedication to the principals inherent to the blog.

22 Don't forget Jaime Gorelick in this whole mess.  She was right on board with the means of changing the rating criteria to deceive investors about the quality of the paper they were buying.

23 McCain's ads should clearly outline just what happened in this financial nightmare and who did it and who is hiding this from the American People. We are talking about a financial 9-11. Our financial system was hijacked and crashed into the economy. Democrats did this. Democrats did this. Democrats did this!

24 Don't forget Jaime Gorelick in this whole mess.

Speaking of Ms> Gorelick, American Thinker has a great article about her many msideeds and the way she has skated on each and every one of them.

25

6. Penny is whiter than me. And that's pretty damn white.

 

26

This is just more ripe fruit for Old McCain to pick and throw at Obama.  And it's low hanging fruit.

Instead, he goes on a rant about Wall Street greed and corruption.  Sometimes he makes it real hard to support him.  I wish he would just stick to fundamentals. 

That's how to beat Obama.

27 This would be such an easy campaign if we had a real candidate.

29 Need to drive this stuff out there...hammer the fuck out of Obama and the sleaze the associate with him...

To Defend: This Is The Pact
But When Life Loses It Value,
And Is Taken For Naught -
Then The Pact Is, To Avenge

Superior, co-owned by Pritzker family trusts, began focusing on subprime loans in 1993, according to the FDIC Inspector General's report. At the time, Pritzker was the board's chair. She left the board in 1994 and continued as a director of the bank's holding company. In 2002, the Pritzkers agreed to pay, through trusts, $460 million in a settlement with the government relieving them of liability.

"I regret that Superior Bank failed," Pritzker told USA TODAY. "My family voluntarily agreed to pay the FDIC $460 million … without litigation or any allegation by federal regulators of wrongdoing. I am proud of how my family responded to this situation." UAStoday, April 2008

Looks like this is old news and not in any possible way illegal. In fact, she and her family are looking like great and generous patriots!

31 If I'm not mistaken, Pritzker is the person who introduced Obama to George Soros.  I wonder if that's why Soros dumped Hill.

32 Here's some more about the "esteemed" Ms. Pritzker:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penny_Pritzker

Check out what else she's involved with...the successor to the Annenburg project in Chicago...

33

It would be nice if the Pritzkers would come off with some of that money that they agreed to pay to get out of being held liable.

So far, they have not paid a dime.

Meanwhile, more than a few people have lost nearly their entire life savings.

34 The Pritzker family is filthy stinking rich.  After the Superior Bank failing, the heirs were worried.  They started suing each other.  The family had to divide assets to satisfy the youngest heirs.  They were watching the elders in the family run their trust funds into the ground.

The fortune is now a bunch of shell holding companies that wield awesome power in Chicago political circles.

As a woman, Penny Pritzker receives preferential treatment for all the companies she owns.  Chicago has quotas for city and county spending that must go to female owned firms.

35

By the way, if you're interested, here's an audio interview with one of Penny's victims. And she. is. pissed.

36 Eeyore - expect that Wiki  to be edited before I refresh the page

From the S-T today:

Property tax bills are about to hit Chicago mailboxes -- and it's gonna hurt.

Poor, heavily minority neighborhoods trying to make a rebound will get the worst of it. Homeowners in Fuller Park, West Garfield Park and Englewood -- where property assessments started to rebound before the housing market tanked -- will see their taxes soar as much as 71 percent.

Gee, wouldn't it be fun if the entire country got run into the ground like Chicago?

Then we could all be miserable together. It'd be like Senior Prom, but different.

38 The talking buttheads are all over the tube speaking liberal "truth to power", but no mention of any criminal referal to DOJ.  Guess this will also receive a pass, and the taxpayers and out children's children of the future will be stuck with a gift of KY Jelly for the liberal butt reaming to come. 

39 It's batshit loony to replicate the Chicago Way to anyplace else in the world expect maybe Pyonyang.  Chicago is paradise compared to that sinkhole.

If the Chicago Way becomes the standard in Washington look out for the one party police state.

Thank god for fucking Heller.  Bronze that bastard and tell his story everywhere.

40 Penny Pritzker will be holding a reception for Ahmadinnerjacket at the NY Hyatt when he comes to NY to address the UN.

41

What kind of pussies are we as a people if we let Pritzker, Raines et al skate on the claim that "it's all perfectly legal"?  That argument didn't cut it with Enron, where the Dems were quick to demand justice in the form of jail time. 

If we were in China some of these mofos would meet the same fate as the manager of that factory selling baby formula laced with melamine.  He will wind up standing up against a wall, and not the Great Wall.

Those chicoms:  they have so much to teach us!

42 Chicago bankers know what the fuck they're doing.  Continential Bank is the primary driver in the savings and loan scandal.

Seriously, lock down Chicago.

Former Senator Peter Fitzgerald pushed hard to get President Bush to appoint Patrick Fitzgerald(no relation) as the USA of the Northern district of Illinois.  This district handles federal prosecutions for Chicago, Crook County and Illinois.  Peter Fitzgerald went against his own party to bring Patrick Fitzgerald to this swamp.  His own party abandoned him for this and he declined to run for reelection in 2004.  BARACK OBAMA assumed his seat.

Want some more mud?  Patrick Fitzgerald spent two years on a wild goose chase trying to find out absolutely nothing in regards to Valerie Plame and Joe Wilson who burned her cover themselves.  The USA's office in Illinois was still running, but Patrick Fitzgerald was only supervising it from the periphery.

43 As a Concerned Conservative Christian I would advise caution before encouraging the white candidate McCain to create an advertisement linking the black candidate Obama with the white heiress Penny Pritzker, a former Chairman of the failed Superior Bank of IL till 1994 and member of its board till near the bank's demise in 2001.
GAO Report
Would the white candidate McCain with his history in the S&L crisis & link to white former senator Phil Gramm of the Gramm Bliley & Leach Act of 1999 dare question the existence and role of the Federal Reserve & FDIC and a return to the Gold Standard? Likewise question the notion of "affordable" housing backed by the taxpayer? Is it plausible for the white candidate McCain to morph into the trust-busting white former President T Roosevelt in the minds of the electorate? Just asking....

44 She'll probably be the subject of one of McCain's TV spots next week, just like Raines and Johnson.

45

Imagine what someone like Oliver Stone, had he any integrity, could do with stories such as those emanating from the Obama camp.

Imagine a network, and the 'chosen one' who is guided from birth in the ways of politics. He is made to attend the 'best schools' where his education further engenders him to the cause of his people. As a young man he ingratiates himself with the locals through 'community organizing' and builds a following which he uses to open the door which granted his first glimmer inside the machine. All the while, the young man is reminded that his calling is bigger than himself: He seeks domination for his people....

Oh the hell with it.

Where's Tom Clancy when you need him?

46 Where's Tom Clancy when you need him?

Hanging around with General Zinni, learning how to steal money from enlisted men.

47

McCain got the GOP nomination despite the Keating Five scandal, in which he was implicated but in the end exonerated of wrongdoing by The Senate Ethic committee, which said that McCain's "actions were not improper nor attended with gross negligence and did not reach the level of requiring institutional action against him....Senator McCain has violated no law of the United States or specific Rule of the United States Senate."  The Committee still said he exercised "poor judment".

That all transpired 18 years ago, and McCain's been cleaner than a hound's tooth since. 

Contrast that with Obama, who has blamed Republicans for the financial meltdown at Fannie/Freddie, and on Wall Street --- but who has within the last two years taken $126K from Fannie, surrounds himself now with some of the perps who have brought a trillion dollars in damages on the republic, and made a coupla hundred million in the process, and who resisted any attempts to reform the GSE's that created the mortgage crisis.

There is no comparison.  McCain should rip Barrack a new Brown Eye over his associations with Pritzker, Raines, Johnson, etc. all the way to Election Day. 

 

48

Richard, was there supposed to be a link?

I still say that, before all is said and done, the egos of the talking heads is far greater than any common cause. Someone, although not prior to the election, will try to stand out from the crowd and scoop the dirty Obama story.

This should make for fine reading for years to come.

49

Here's your punchline:

I did this exact story two months ago... and of course some schmuck suggested it was racist.

50

One has to wonder just how much more room there is available under Barrys bus.........

It's a magic bus. You can fit anything under there.

51

Penny Pritzker, Obama's financier, is also an heiress of the Hyatt (Grand Hyatt) Hotels, and what an AMAZING COINCIDENCE, the Grand Hyatt NYC is sponsoring Pres. Amamadjihadi of IRAN as its GUEST OF HONOR this week.

Mirable Dictu, in advance of such GUEST OF HONOR status, the Obama campaign has pulled Hillary as a speaker at the anti Iran/Amamadjihadi protest scheduled this week at the UN. Then the Obamanation had lawyers associated with his campaign to threaten the tax exempt status unless they disinvited Gov. Palin (just like Obama's lawyers wrote to the US Attorney General to take away the tax exempt status of a 527 organization that truthfully advertised Obama's connections to Ayres and Dohrn). Seems like a pattern is emerging here, unless you're an Obama Supporter (i.e. LMSM reporter) in which case the 'lightworker' has blinded and Obamaboozled you.  

So the question is whether bad Penny P. told Obama that in order for the Iranian Pres to attend her shindig at the Hyatt, the anti Iran protest had to be made a laughingstock, by removing Hillary and demanding Gov Palin be disinvited. Now those are emails that the world should see (not the family business of Gov Palin) but never will, unfortunately. The dem saps and asskissers of the Council of Presidents took the added bonus step for the Obamanation's campaign by disinviting every politician, which has them both livid, but unable to say anything against Obama who caused this situation, which hopefully will cause all those dem politicians' heads to explode, one giant leap for mankind.

I urge anyone who was going to protest at that politicized rally not to do so, but save their energy to protest at the dinner at the Grand Hyatt. These democrap hacks should not be rewarded for their heinous conduct. We should not be a party to these Jewish organizations' putting party ahead of country. They are a disgrace and all these Presidents who did Obama's bidding at the expense of the legitimacy of their organizations should be terminated post haste.

52 Ladies and gentlemen: This conversation is ultimately not about race, gender, political party or ideology; it is about "class." We are witnessing a carefully orchestrated transfer of wealth from the us (the masses) to a power elite. Can anyone say oligarchy? Race while interesting isn't really relavant -- Cheney and Obama are cousins; party affiliations are unimportant -- Kerry and "W" are cousins; ideology doesn't matter -- Condi Rice (conservative) and Connie Rice (liberal) are cousins -- both black, female and, like all the others mentioned here, connected. Wealth consolidation is the name of the game. And despite the great joy finger pointing provides, both parties and all four candidates have dirty hands. My question is: what are we going to do about it? Congress just made crime pay! After we tidy up this financial mess we can fall back into the habit of disrespecting one another's race, gender and all the rest.

55 What a wonderful blog you have created. I just stopped in to tell you I really appreciated the read and shall be dropping by from time to time now
