Rubin’s got “regrets” and Prince is “deeply sorry” that management wasn’t more “prescient.” Also, you should know, that since taking up early retirement, Chuck has “given a great deal of thought to the unique events that led to the financial crisis and which bring us here today.”

    The energy trading community is deader than Ken Lay today. Must be a golf tourney somewhere.

    @Anal:

    I know, I know…. The shame is almost unbearable. Mistakes were made. Errors not detected. Sloppiness tolerated. And I’m not even a CEO….

    I’m aware the Masters starts today, as I thought everyone on Wall Street/connected to teh interwebs was. Apparently you’re not part of this crowd.

    Yeah, @ Anal, that was just weak/incomprehensible so I’ll leave it alone, but thanks for getting pflug to stop the gasparino gig.

    @pfluger – I for one enjoyed the occasional input from your alter ego Chaz (might benefit them financial bloggers like Zach.)

    @20/22-

    “The Thug” is merely taking a brief vacation, waiting for an appropriate time to re-appear.

    Gaspo regularly provides such a wealth of raw material to work with that he cannot simply be ignored, despite the objections of some (ya know)….

    The Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission is a bipartisan commission that has been given a critical non-partisan mission — to examine the causes of the financial crisis that has gripped the country and to report our findings to the Congress, the President, and the American people.

    best part of today was watching bill thomas debate bob rubin about who did more to reduce the deficit in the 90s. told you all you need to know about government…

    I’d really like to post something witty, or sarcastic buy I’m just too pissed to bother. So let me just say that all of these assclowns who have ruined this country should find themselves waist deep in a wood chipper. Perhaps then I might find it in my heart to have a little sympathy for plight, but don’t count on it.
