Your Chance To Catch Incompetence Personified Live As Mary Schapiro Testifies Before The FCIC

Tyler Durden's picture




Don't forget, the FCIC panel continues today with Sheila Bair, Lanny Breuer, Eric Holder and, somehow, Mary Schapiro talking. How the last person on this list is considered an expert in any topic is the only issue that should be debated. At least being away from her 80286-based "enforcement-special" mainframe, justifies the lack of an SEC response on the ESH0 incident. Granted, nobody expects the SEC to opine on blatant market manipulation when the profits made are more than a few thousand dollars.

Live hearing can be found here.

The only thing that could be more embarrassing than her simply opening her mouth would be if she walked in with toilet paper stuck to her high heels.  FRN toilet paper.

That's hot. Are they "used" FRN toilet paper notes or are they freshly minted, still wet and crisp notes?

Just asking. I want to modify (er...improve) my custom "fathead" poster of Chair Bair.

The incompetence of the people supposedly running the country is a mystery.  Are these really the best that the United States could find?

 

But to solve the mystery think about who would benefit from these people being incompetent and/or corrupt.

 

Or to put it another way, if you wanted to rob a bank and you could influence the hiring of the security guard, would you push for a bright, motivated alert guard, or some old half deaf, half blind codger?

Gubmint employees simply memorize and implement the playbook strategies as dictated by the elected masters they serve. A work history of previously undiscovered corruption and deviousness are supplemental qualifications for consideration in appointments to these positions........and a confirmed background of never wandering off the reservation is the most valuable qualification of all.

They are the best sock puppets the United States can find. It's a tough job. After all, how long would you tolerate a finger (er.....an entire hand up to the elbow) up your a** while smiling for the cameras?

Mary, Mary, Regulator-o-contrary

How does your garden grow?

With poison oak, and back room smoke,

And petty trades all scrutinized for show.

Was she asked why the SEC granted AIG a confidential treatment request that hid the exhibit that showed the bailout of GS and others?  Was she asked why that document is being granted confidentiality until 2018????

Word on Wall St. is that she has a date with Bob Rubin after the proceedings.  The smart money is on the side of no panties.

A while back I did some contract work at NASD for Mary Schapiro's group. She is a Class A B****. She and her group of entirely women were one nasty group. They would hire men to do the work because their countless attempts at hiring female programmers who could actually write code that could handle millions of transaction per second failed. The men were scared shitless to open their mouths. We had to sit and listen to them complain and if we said a word, we had our heads chopped off. We had to treat her like she was the Queen of England.

If that nasty lesbo man hater loses her job today, it will be too soon.

Just when I think you've hit a new and unassailable high with your wit and humor, you top yourself again and again and again.

Bravo! I tip my hat to the master.

Thank you! High praise coming from you.

Here and there, I'll crack em and the crickets chirp.

For instance, someone was was posting about Obama being in Hawaii when something was going on. They were (if memory serves me) asking what was keeping him in Hawaii when he should be dealing with the event.

I posted this as an answer:

Am I bad, or just too esoteric?

You people just don't understand what Mary's job is. She clearly has a "to do list" of targets that the administration wants her to investigate. But her main job is to block investigation of many of the flags that we are all raging against. It's quite clear that if parties at 33 liberty street or 85 Broad st. are "doing Gods work" the last thing you want is an SEC investigation.

And as far as I can tell she's doing a pretty good job at what she was appointed to do.

On the other hand we need some show trials for the people who appointed her.

Ms Schapiro.... I only have one question for you.... What the fuck were you doing at NASD/FINRA while all this was going on? We know you set up an arbitration board to deny investors their Constitutional right to due process of law and protection of their property. i would just like to know what other Fascist functions you participated in, besides the public gang rape of individual traders and investors.
