Jeb Hensarling (R-TX), crooked chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, is one of the GOP's bagmen for Wall Street banks. He collects the dough from the toxic banksters he's supposed to be overseeing and distributes it inside the Republican caucus to build his own power base among the rank and file.

I shuddered to think which corrupt conservative shill he had decided was the "top race in the country." Since Israel was a member of the reactionary Blue Dog caucus himself before making a play for House leadership, I figured it would be one of the broken down, struggling, remaining Blue Dogs who are facing defeat next year: Barrow (GA), McIntyre (NC) or Math
The Grayson Takano No Cuts letter is the gold standardThe House doesn't usually stay in sessions Fridays, let alone take serious votes, but this past Friday, as we mentioned yesterday, Boehner and Cantor kept the Members in town to repay a promise they had made to their Wall Street masters to further weaken the Dodd-Frank financial reform bill.
