Well another 7 days have gone by so that means it's time for Douche Bags of the Week!

This weeks winners are:

Alan Greenspan - Evidently, wrecking the economy wasn't good enough for Mr. Greenspan, he also wants to wreck history as well. This week, Mr. Greenspan wrote an article for the Wall Street Journal, basically saying that it wasn't his fault that everything went to shit in the economy so don't blame him. Unfortunately, it kinda is his fault. Mr. Greenspan was head of the Fed, and was the one that kept lowering interest rates, which made it cheaper for banks to borrow and lend, which made it cheaper for people to take out mortgages, which yada yada yada. Had he "closed the window" of the Fed, we might have averted the catastrophe that continues to unfold (and much of which that has not) upon on. Not to mention that Mr. Greenspan was also Mr. Don'tRegulateTheMarketsTheyCanFigureItOutThemselves. So fuck you twice Greenspan.

Ben Bernanke - Ben Bernanke is the current head of the Fed, and as such, he's the guy who's supposed to know exactly how the money in America is being spent and where the pains in the market is. Well, 2 years into this recession and 6 months after the economy started to bottom out, Ben has come to the conclusion that the markets need a regulatory overhaul. Really? You figure that one all out by yourself Sherlock? And so quickly too. Of course the markets need an overhaul you turd blossom. And that overhaul has to start with the Fed.

Tim Geithner - I hate coming down on Timmy cause he's had his job just a few days less than Obama has had his. But there are certain screw ups that just need to be pointed out. This week, Geithner had an interview with Charlie Rose, where he said, and I quote "Capitalism will be different". Considering your boss is still being called a socialist by every red neck south of the Mason Dixon line (and a few retards in Washington), maybe you should find better talking points. And next time you sit down and talk about what you are going to do about the banking situation, maybe you should have an actual plan ready to roll out. So far you have nothing.


Stephen Harper - There are douche bags and then there are douche bags. Harper is the crown prince of them this week. I've never liked the guy, I will admit. Personally, I think he's a disaster of a PM in many ways. Sure, he didn't invade an Arab nation without cause, but -believe me- if he had the army he would. This week, Harper decides to launch into a tirade against liberals in a 'closed door meeting' with his party members and supporters. "We are in a global recession principally – and we have to face this – because a lot of people on Wall Street, because a lot of people in the private sector more generally – homeowners or consumers – pushed or bought into a very unconservative idea that they could live beyond their means"," he said. Never mind the fact that is was conservative ideology that screwed up the American system, and liberal ideology that saved the Canadian one. (AND also nevermind that under Liberal leadership Canada had record surpluses a BOOMING economy and a strong dollar) Also, just a few weeks after Obama visited Canada and Harper was all friendly to him to his face, Harper goes on to criticize Obama's stimulus package and economic policy. Hey Harper: next time your approval ratings are in the high 60's you can talk trash to Obama. Until then, shut up. If you have something to say about liberals or Obama, say it in public like a man. Bitch.
