You gave half a trillion of our dollars to who? And why?

July 31, 2009, 2:30 am · 2 comments

Florida Congressman Alan Grayson may be a Democrat, but watching him grill Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke before the House Financial Services Committee is a thing of beauty.

Bernanke sent half of a trillion dollars to overseas banks, but gets a little hazy when it comes to explaining where the money went.

The highlight is when Grayson laughs out loud at Bernanke. We think he’d been reading IHateTheMedia.com and knew that if he didn’t laugh, he’d cry.

So first, I can stop worrying about my off-shore accounts as the banks are being taken care of. Huge relief! Loved Bernanke’s crack about taxpayers not losing anything and getting interest to boot. Priceless pandering.

And second, was Bawney Fwank taking a nap? How did he allow this line of attack questioning to continue right under his nose? Guess Grayson is from a very safe district or doesn’t worry about his knee caps much.
