UPDATE: Claire McCaskill, too? This shit is getting out of hand…

This is a big fucking shitty deal!

I demand that this passage be played verbatim, without bleeps, on all news programs forever.

We have our new battle cry:

“Shitty Deal! Shitty Deal! Shitty Deal!”

Make them say it. Make them say they are criminals, that they helped screw the national economy and that they are as guilty of theft as any common pickpocket. Good on you, Carl Levin. You’re a bulldog and we need more like you.

I’m listening to this in the background while I am working. There are so many sound bites coming out of this. The GS brand is being utterly destroyed.

My favorite line of the day so far:

We have no obligation to our customers.

Cue wingnuts decrying vulgarity and lack of morals in the Democratic Party faster than Dick Cheney can fire off a “go fuck yourself” in three, two, one…

Yeah, I haven’t looked yet, but you know that’s happening.

Expect a Facebook status update from the Snowbilly Queen:

When will cable companies pull the plug on porn-merchant C-SPAN?  Thank God for Fox News, where God-fearing white Americans can get their news without all this ACORN thug dirty-talkin’.

I didn’t say the shit, I’m just repeating the shit.
So don’t get all upset and shit.

So much for our decorous, deliberative body.

Shit, yeah!

The guys next to Sparks have that Trying to Be Invisible in the Principal’s Office look.

Others are reporting that Drudge is pulling the whine about “vulgar” language meme…

I refuse to go to that hack’s site, so I’m not going to bother checking this one out for myself.

Levin was brilliant.  You could see the GS guy trying to disappear into his chair.  Speaking of memes have you heard Rush’s latest.  The EVIL Firefighters and Police Officers drawing retirement are making the poor millionaires pay more in property taxes and they don’t like it!  I swear I am not making it up, that was a large part of his show today.  Sad millionaires are sad because the firefighters and police who have kept THEIR FUCKING HOMES AND PROPERTY SAFE FOR TWENTY YEARS OF THEIR LIFE are now drawing a well earned retirement check.  Check the transcripts your gob will be as smacked as mine was.

Litlebrit - what a complete pile of drivel that transcript was.  The justification of the millionaires that he knows (winky, wink) are that it’s all public dole - that the firefighters and cops have been sucking off the public teat their whole career and now expect to get retirement payments.  Ignoring, as you said, that they were paid for putting their lives on the line every day to keep us safe.  And that they made contributions into the retirement and deferred comp plans throughout their careers. 

Oh, he manages to defend Goldman Sachs too.  His disjointed rambling justification of this was impossible to read - mostly that gubmint brings everyone down.
