I will donate $1000 to the DNC now if someone explains how G-S caused Lehman to fail.

9. Are you Charles Keating?

"Get Black....Kill him dead." -- Charles Keating.

Keating was sore because Bill Black busted his corruptions on Capitol Hill.

BTW: You watched the wrong video. Watch this one and you'll hear William K Black explain how Glass-Steagal worked:

WILLIAM K. BLACK: There were two really big things, under the Clinton administration. One, they got rid of the law that came out of the real-world disasters of the Great Depression. We learned a lot of things in the Great Depression. And one is we had to separate what's called commercial banking from investment banking. That's the Glass-Steagall law. But we thought we were much smarter, supposedly. So we got rid of that law, and that was bipartisan. And the other thing is we passed a law, because there was a very good regulator, Brooksley Born, that everybody should know about and probably doesn't. She tried to do the right thing to regulate one of these exotic derivatives that you're talking about. We call them C.D.F.S. And Summers, Rubin, and Phil Gramm came together to say not only will we block this particular regulation. We will pass a law that says you can't regulate. And it's this type of derivative that is most involved in the AIG scandal. AIG all by itself, cost the same as the entire Savings and Loan debacle.

Almost forgot: Please remember to post a copy of your canceled check, banned from Kos. No offense, but I don't think I'll take your word for it.
