10. "Some calling Liz v. Larry the real beginning of Wall Street reform."

Terrific job, Louis c - blocking Summers greatly benefits all of us except the one percenters and those politicians(and their hangers on/enablers) hoping for post-political-office paybacks from the one percenters/Friends of Larry.

Liz Warren has long complained that guys like Larry Summers are too close to Wall Street, where he made millions; that he was wrong to support deregulation, which she doesn’t; that he should have cracked down on banks that had grown “too big to fail” by the time the financial crisis hit — and taxpayers had to bail them out. They are even bigger now. Might we have to bail them out yet again one day? Me, I’d rather not.

So I was thrilled yesterday morning to see they are pictures everywhere of Liz looking demure and Larry looking ticked off.

Liz was on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” with the words beneath her “David” (that’s Liz) vs. “Goliath” (the big banks). She was alternately described as “the reform renegade,” the “populist scourge of Wall Street” and “ the darling of the rising left” that’s finally going after Occupy Wall Street’s 1 percenters.

Some have even called Liz vs. Larry the beginning of real Wall Street reform and happy times for, as Liz likes to put it, the “hammered” middle class.
