San Fran Nan's Show Trial

There's plenty of blame to go to both parties for the problems on Wall Street, but Nancy Pelosi is determined to hang it all on Republicans:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has ordered a broad, swift investigation of Wall Street and will demand testimony from Bush administration officials and captains of finance, congressional officials said.

House Democrats plan to aggressively look at the administration’s role in the meltdown over the weekend and to explore further regulation and government structures that would be taken up under the new president.

Republican aides accused Democrats of trying to shift blame with a series of “show trials,” but acknowledged that key officials will wind up cooperating.

Let me point you back to this Investor's Business Daily op-ed which explains where a lot of the problems got started, and it wasn't during the Bush Administration. Will any Clinton administration figures be called to testify?


Not a chance.
