Wanker of the Day

Chuck Schumer.

Look, I know Schumer's job is to raise money, and I know that Wall
Street for a New York senator is the equivalent of the corn farming
industry for an Iowa senator. But still. If you write a book about how
much you love the middle class, the least you can do is have the
gumption to support taxing hedge fund billionaires at the same rate as
everyone else. Hell, even Robert Rubin supports changing the tax rate
on carried interest.

Blecch. I really hate the Democratic leadership sometimes. It's good
thing for them I hate the Republican leadership so much more.
