Repubs on Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission release their own "report" on theTrickle Down Disaster

[JohnWxy]

The Republican members of the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission can't stomach seeing a legitimate account of what caused the Trickle Down Disaster of 2008 wo they decided to create their own version of history. So what else is new, huh?

Here is the Columbia Journalisms comments on the GOP's venture into fictioneering:

The four Republicans on the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission released their own report Wednesday on the causes of the financial crisis after voting—I kid you not—to ban the words “Wall Street,” “shadow banking,” “interconnection,” and “deregulation” from the main report. Sure enough these words are nowhere to be found in their report.

What can you say about that?

How about calling it “shockingly incomplete,” “a ludicrous distortion,” “simply false,” “utterly dishonest,” “calculatedly incomplete,” “a whitewash,” with “breathtaking conclusions.”

That’s Bethany McLean at Slate on what the Republican commissioners, Bill Thomas, Douglas Holtz-Eakin, Peter Wallison, and Keith Hennessey had to say. Thing is, she’s not being hyperbolic.
