Warren Buffett To Promote Paulson Book
Now, we don´t want to read too much into this announcement, but, really, promoting Paulson´s book? What´s Buffett going to say?
I really really like that chapter where Hank had to take over the US government.…you know, after he pushed Bear Stearns and Lehman over with the help of his hedge-fund buddies…and all but nationalized housing.
Or
Gee, Hank´s into that cap-and-trade collectivist boondoggle that just got outed as a total rip-off and a fraud made up by climate change fanatics but hey, give the guy a break, will ya? We´re all capitalists here…..you know, like, state capitalists..wazza big deal?
Or
Yeah, I know. Vanity Fair, that bastion of free markets and free minds, already did its bit for Hank´s place in history when it got down on its knees and..um.. blew…up.. the guy into some kind of I´m-taking-on-the-slings-and-arrows-for-the-greater-good-profile-in-courage long before me, and yeah, Bethany did her bit for Hank too.. but every little effort counts…
I´ve had my doubts about Buffett´s involvement in the bail-out.
This doesn´t make them go away…

1GOD BLESS YOU FOR THIS LRC POST

i was kind of humming along in 2008 and then when this thing broke, i got physically ill from it
especially when GWB got on tv and prattled on about saving “capitalism” from itself
THE IMAGE THAT IS BURNED IN MY MIND, is of GWB coming out with Paulson on one side and Bernanke
on the other. I TOLD MY FRIENDS THAT IT APPEARED
AS IF paulson and bernanke had GWB in shackles
and chains, and GWB was speaking (or vomitting/confessing) the line he was supposed to regurgitate
(its irrelevant if he was in on it, or agreed
with it for other reasons, or dis-agreed, this
was my “visual”)as if he was a prisoner
later i described krugman (and i have not read
your krugman article yet, i have stumbled here
from lrc and am savoring this blog bit by bit)
as JOSEPH GOEBBELS IN DRAG…joseph goebbels with
the addition of a dress, high heels, and lipstick;
good work ms rajiva
kudos, cheers, and blessings

2Thank you so much
Yes, I had a moment of clear seeing when I wrote it.
The propaganda is different…it’s more like corporate PR and less ideological..
