With friends like this, the White House needs few enemies.

Um, see my re-reply to Kevin...

Agreed. It turns out the bonusees were mostly sales types, asleep
managers, and packagers who had not the slightest understanding of
risk hedging, nor did the company's compliance people publish
accounting material that would have given buyers a clue that this
company was essentially insuring that banks, many foreign, would not
loose money on their lumps of housing bubble securitized "products,"
levered sometimes as much as 31 times loan face value.

A while back, someone asked what I meant by the term "renegade
capitalism."
