Vanity Fair’s piece on the hundred who made the economic crisis manages to include blackberries and VIP rooms, Ralph Nader, George Bush and Bill Clinton, Woodrow Wilson, Republicans Hank Paulson and Hank Greenberg…
But it omits Robert Rubin….and Larry Summers…and Tim Geithner….and any of the numbers of hedge funds that were shorting companies for years….and it forgets AIG….and Barney Frank..[Correction: It does include AIG and Barney Frank, a great improvement] and even good old Eliot Spitzer, who should have done much more, for all that sound and fury about going after crooks…
What a tendentious list.
“and it forgets AIG … and Barney Frank”
Unless it was updated after you posted, you need to look again at numbers 42 and 43:
42.The Four Horsemen of the A.I.G. Apocalypse:
• Maurice “Hank” Greenberg.
• Martin Sullivan.
• Robert Willumstad.
• Edward Liddy.
43. Barney Frank.
Hi – yes, thanks for Barney Frank.
I will correct that.
thanks.
OK…that’s much better/
