Trying to read Paul Soglin’s essay on the recent financial unpleasantness is like trying to sleep with a brick on your head

So I’ll break it down for you. According to Soglin, the whole Fannie-Freddie-Lehman-AIG mess is the direct result of legislation which: Rep. Jim Leach, chairman of Republicans for Obama, authored; President Clinton signed; and John McCain didn’t – did not – vote for.

Therefore, it’s all John McCain’s fault.

Now you don’t have to read it. You are welcome.
