I love news items like this one from the Associated Press:

Many of the banks that fought to undermine the proposals by some regulators are now either out of business or accepting billions in federal aid to recover from a mortgage crisis they insisted would never come. Many executives remain in high-paying jobs, even after their assurances were proved false.
But… but… I thought the mortgage mess was all Bill Clinton’s fault! Or maybe Barney Frank’s?
And why is Hillary looking as dour as she did after the Iowa primary, way back in January? Secretary of State isn’t exactly a comedown from senator.
