Sorry, my purpose wasn't to be cryptic. He was one of the Bush campaign's caging guys in 2004.

And yeah, it's really weird. I'd say it's absurd. If you've got a lender who can't get the subprime loans sold out of the backdoor soon enough and a low-income buyer, you blame the buyer? How does that make any sense? If you're buying credit, don't you look for the best deal possible? But, no. Let's blame the underinformed buyer. Let's not look at an industry that operated with terms like "liar's loan" as culpable.

Then again, most of the "discourse" surrounding the mortgage crisis, the market and possible economic fixes have just been damned crazy. I really can't believe better than half of what I've read and heard. I still hear people saying that we should just let Wall Street twist in the wind because that's what they deserve. Nevermind that the entire G7 just spent the weekend trying to figure out how to avoid a global collapse of the banking system.

There is a terrifying level of ignorance surrounding all of this. And I'm far from an expert. It makes me wonder how they feel right now.

Nice foresight/sensitivity on ACORN. It's weird, even shocking, how the right is trying to hang everything on them. The fucking mortgage crisis? Seriously?

You mentioned Griffin in your previous post but were similarly cryptic. What's his connection to caging?
