"First of all, generally speaking, when one apologizes for having done a bad thing (like for instance destroying the world economy), it is good form to wait at least until the end of the sentence to start bragging again." - Larry Greenfield from Bookmarklet

Huge like, especially for the exchange in the comments between someone called "Boiler" and Taibbi. Basically, this guy brings up the old CRA argument (someone always does, because they've been listening to Sean Hannity or something), and Taibbi just tears it into a million little pieces. It's beautiful. - Joel Webber

That rat meat analogy is ... uh ... vivid - Howard Trickey

Refreshing to see him nail it. And the apology shows how little Goldman gets what they did. That worries me. There's a big difference between ordinary business ("there is a fool out there willing to buy this rat meat and eat it, not my problem") and systemic issues of rat meat bringing us down. Every day they make money selling rat meat, and they don't understand why this is different. - Daniel Dulitz
