[via The Hill]
The words “hell fuck yeah” don’t actually exit TARP Congressional Oversight Panel chair Elizabeth Warren’s mouth but it sounds like she’s thinking it!
Melissa Francis: What restrictions would you want to put on the hedge funds and PIMCO and everyone else that applied to be a manager? Would you want to restrict their compensation structure?
Warren: You know I’m going to go back to a more basic principle if you want to take taxpayer dollars then you cannot pretend it’s business as usual. You are now involved in a giant government program in which we are spending taxpayer dollars to try and support a market that is clearly stumbling. Our job is to be outside that program, our job is to be cranky and to ask for accountability for every bit of it. I’m going to leave it in that structure.
Francis: So it’s not off the table. You might talk about limiting Bill Gross’s pay?
Warren: I think these are entirely appropriate questions.

This is what happens when you’re from Harvard and have never worked a fucking day in your life, outside of Cambridge. Idiots. All of them.
if bill gross’s salary is capped, who will advertise on CNBC? besides the “we’ll make your dreams come true” people?
Completely appropriate. Hope I see equity markets down another 30% from here …
I’d just like to have Bill Gross capped period, and all the rest at PIMCO. Every last one of them are full of shit.
Is it me or does Elizabeth look like she could be a little freaky
@5 She smokes quite a bit of hash I’m told.
Well I was going to say something not quite as violet as @4, but I mean, yea…
Change We Can Believe In
After all we’ve seen, anyone that gets involved with PPIP deserves whatever happens to them.
Hah, there’s no way Timmy would let this happen without his input. This provision would kill PPIP. No doubt about it. Let’s get this straight, neither BlackRock nor PIMCO need this more than the govt needs to the markets to function properly again.
You can’t bite the hand that tries feeding you…
@10 The govt. bites the hand that feeds it every fuckin day. Wake up!
I would pound Ms. Warren in the ass until she couldn’t walk.

I’m going to Galt’s Gulch – who’s with me
That’s one way to kill the program
She clearly hadn’t thought that through. At least in the legacy loans program, capping pay caps returns, plain and simple. No one would participate in that situation.

Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Are you telling me that people respond rationally to economic incentives and disincentives? If I take this through to it’s ultimate extreme, are you telling me that punitive taxes on The Rich (ie, midlevel professionals and up) might disincentivize them from working hard?
Dayummmmm. Let me think about that one.
@12:
Leave black people and Big Baby Davis out of this. This is white people’s fault.
You white people are like cancer.
@12, or at least push her down like that fat kid last night
18 = Maxinne Waters.
@19 i was that fat kid you jerk.
@ 5 — she totally looks like the typical “sleeper” — A nice pure looking farm girl from Nebraska type but a total nympho in the rack…
one of the pm’s I know was in washington a few weeks back and was told outright that the gov’t would clawback $$’s if they felt the participants were making too much. the person said “we work for the public and will respond to their concerns and act in their interest”. good luck finding “smart” money to play in the ppip…I have a feeling wilbur was strong armed into participating.
@12, @19 and @22
that is sick and wrong..but i love it. the only reason E Warren is able to comment with a straight face about these issues is that she hasnt gotten any in 45 years
SHORT EVERYTHING!

You clowns are just now beginning to appreciate the tremendous potential inherent in a woman like Ms. Warren.
TGFD was after chicks like her over 40 years ago. Very hot.
It appears that TGFD has been a good influence on you. I’m impressed.

A big “BZ” to you, TGFD. Those demure, almost drab looking gals are the ones to go for. I recall a certain mousy ERISA lawyer that nearly gave me a stroke. The beauty queens and show-offs are inevitably disappointing, not to mention total pains in the ass.
Here here 27, never pass up an opportunity to bang either a fat chick, a homely gal, or a milf say between 45 to 55. Hopefully you will live to recount the experience to your friends over a beer one day.
Elizabeth Warren. Absolutely filthy in bed. My guess anyway.
Elizabeth Warren. Barrel. Ball gag. Discuss.

Guest@#28…
That was a very unpleasant swipe you took at NAS K Boi. You sound like someone with no experience in the matter.
Guest@#29…TGFD agrees with you.
Guest@#30…Tell us how you would proceed with Ms. Warren.
As I watched the video clip, even from the very beginning, TGFD was thinking about Ms. Warren’s ability to generate the kind of excitement that would make me want to sample her particular charms.
I’m glad to hear that many of you goons were thinking the same thing.

The PPIP is like a bad joke with no punchline.
