The Most Nerve of the Year Award (so far):

To the authors of the following: “Pointing a finger is hardly a useful gesture when the economic crisis facing out nation is so grave and the suffering of our people so great. We should instead come together to solve the problems before us, no matter who or what caused them.”

The winners of the Award, the authors of the quotation, Sen. Christopher J. Dodd (Dem – Conn) and Rep. Barney Frank, (D-Mass) That’s how they signed their names  on the letter to USA Today published on 1/9/09.

Christopher Dodd received below interest mortgages from Countrywide Financial. He promised to release his loan application, and other loan documents, about 6 months ago. (Don’t hold your breath on that one). Barney Frank, in a Congressional committe hearing stated that he thought Fannie and Freddie were OK and that he was willing to roll the dice with them. Other comments too numerous to mention were made by the good Mr. Frank, but the “rolling the dice” seems the most appropriate one.

Those two individuals want us to come together with them to solve the crisis they helped to create.  Their comment about pointing a finger being hardly a useful gesture is probably true, but it sure would make me feel good to point the middle finger at them, but I don’t think that was the finger they had in mind.
