Does Congress Hate God?

By Bess Levin

By the transitive property, yes:

The prospect of Goldman Sachs benefiting from Fannie Mae’s tax credits was politically unpalatable, said Paul Miller, a bank analyst with FBR Capital Markets in Arlington, Virginia
“Every politician on Capitol Hill right now hates Goldman,” Miller said in an interview Nov. 6. “Politically, this would look really bad.”

    Considering the trouble Congress had with this, they’re going to hate Plan B.

    @3 You are learning to love GS. It can be painful at first, and you may feel a little sick. But soon enough, you will forget the pain.

    To love is to be human, to hate is to be Congress…

    Congressmen need four-ply toilet paper to wipe their dirty holes.

    The disapproval ratings of GS and Congress are both on the fast track to zero

    That’ll show them bastards at GS. Forcing us, and the US taxpayer, to incur OTTI and further writedowns will hit them right where it hurts! HA!

    Senator Eliabeth Dole (R-NC, whore monger for attention who fucked husband Bob while he was still married to previous wiffe) accused her opponent, Kay Hagan (who defeated her lame carpet bagging ass) of (albeit indirectly) shrieking, “There is no God” while attending some bullshit function where John Kerry was also in attendance.
    So?
    So, it must be true. Elizabeth Dole is from North Carolina. All them people there know God on a first name basis.

    #11. Not all of us know God on a first name basis but we all know somebody who does. Liddy Dole sure did. Most of the people in Charlotte think they are on a banking mission from God. It’s a real dealbreaker for the the two Kens. (Lewis and Thompson)

    I suspect that Chuck Schumer doesn’t really hate Goldman.
