We're All Sarah Now

Here is Ian Fraser from Finance Magazine on the Occupy movement: "They want to replace crony capitalism with a saner version of capitalism."

And this is Nicholas Kristoff in today's NYT: "this is a chance to save capitalism from crony capitalists."

There are other examples around the internets because the memo finally went out, Sarah Palin had it right. As readers have noticed, my beef isn't with conservatives, I wouldn't waste my breath arguing with people with so little aptitude. My problem is with these boot-licking liberals who are always ready to clean up the mess after capitalists go on a binge. It is classic enabling behavior, like the black-eyed wife protecting her abuser husband. ( see the rage underlying Pagan's rants)

This is the message from Eric Alterman and the Nation crowd, from Thom Hartman, Glen Greenwald and Rachael Maddow, from any liberal pundit ( Michael Moore is sending mixed messages) that sees an opportunity to serve the master and get a pat on the back. They all know the history. Like all the times in the past Capital, properly chastised, will apologize sweetly, promise never to do it again ( make-up sex?) and a week or a month or a year later...well, you know the pattern.

European banks take a fifty percent write down and the world is made right again. Confidence restored, capital will go get those trillions it has stashed and get back to the business of making widgets. Occupiers will leave their tents, shower,get shaves and haircuts, and go back to the widget factory. A chicken in every pot! Pagan will rest easy at night knowing decency has been restored. It's A Wonderful Life!
