Posted by David Gerstman on June 07, 2013 13 Comments

Seventeen years ago, Charles Lane wrote A Man of Good Intentions about then Secretary of State Warren Christopher being kept waiting by Hafez al-Assad, father of the current Syrian President: And Assad went out of his way to humiliate Christopher, the American messenger of land-for-peace, when...

Brookings: Elizabeth Warren student loan proposal “embarrassingly bad” and “a cheap political gimmick”

Posted by William A. Jacobson on May 20, 2013 10 Comments

Hoorahs and adulation have been heaped on Elizabeth Warren for proposing to reduce the student loan rate to 0.75%, the rate charged by the Federal Reserve for very short term loans to banks. While the left-blogosphere, progressive movement, and low-information political consumers have been cheering, we repeatedly have exposed...

Elizabeth Warren’s low-information student loan spear

Posted by William A. Jacobson on May 18, 2013 14 Comments

You remember Upworthy, the epitome of low-information in support of Obama and progressives, Upworthy — or, How we are losing the internet to lowest of low information young liberals. They have maps which demonstrate The high cost of low information voters. I need to stop...

Can I call ’em or what? Don’t say I didn’t warn you. As noted at the Wiki, the progressive movement has had a twinkle in its eye for an Elizabeth Warren presidential campaign since before she was elected to the Senate, Elizabeth Warren for President...

Elizabeth Warren’s $22 intellectual Waterloo

Posted by William A. Jacobson on March 27, 2013 23 Comments

There is plenty to criticize about Elizabeth Warren’s made-for-YouTube theatrics in the Senate Banking Committee. Warren has some good goals shared on both sides of the aisle, such as addressing “too big to fail” and “too big to prosecute,” but unfortunately she goes about it the wrong...

Elizabeth Warren already planning to cash in

Posted by William A. Jacobson on March 20, 2013 15 Comments

It’s not like you didn’t see this coming. Those inane and made-for-YouTube moments, lacking in substance and confusing the gullible media, are the pre-publicity. Anyone familiar with Elizabeth Warren’s history knows that she knows how to turn the “rigged” schtick into a buck. (Off topic, there’s...

I don’t know why readers sent me tweets about Bobby Jindal, Elizabeth Warren and Indians

Posted by William A. Jacobson on March 10, 2013 17 Comments

Via Twitchy, apparently Bobby Jindal made funny at the Gridiron dinner last night. Several readers sent me links to tweets about how Jindal made some joke about himself, Elizabeth Warren and Indians. I don’t get it. Is Bobby Jindal Cherokee too? Is that supposed to...

Elizabeth Warren’s Banking Committee methodology — ask questions of the wrong witnesses

Posted by William A. Jacobson on March 08, 2013 8 Comments

More headlines for Elizabeth Warren demanding that someone be prosecuted for something. But there’s a catch. She’s making headlines, once again, by asking questions of witnesses who cannot possibly answer them because they have no jurisdiction to implement criminal prosecutions, Warren starts taking on banks and...

The incredible shrinking Elizabeth Warren Wikipedia Cherokee / Native American entry

Posted by William A. Jacobson on March 05, 2013 16 Comments

I haven’t watched the video embedded at the bottom of this post in a long time. I saw it while doing some fix up at ElizabethWarrenWiki.org, on the Elizabeth Warren Refusal To Meet With Native Americans page. Every time I see progressives sing the praises...

Progressive columnist rips Elizabeth Warren hyprocrisy on Jack Lew

You don’t get more “progressive” than the Political Animal column at Washington Monthly, which has seen such luminaries as Steve Benen (now Rachel Maddow’s blogger) grace its pages. In a column yesterday, Samuel Knight took Elizabeth Warren to task for voting in favor of corporate...

Banking Analyst: “Elizabeth Warren’s Preposterous Grandstanding”

Posted by William A. Jacobson on February 22, 2013 32 Comments

Thomas K. Brown, a banking industry analyst and investor, writing at BankStocks.com, makes a point similar to what I made in my post, Elizabeth Warren’s heroic Senate demagoguery, that Warren’s Banking Committee YouTube performance was pure political grandstanding without substance or legitimate regulatory purpose. As with...
